This Costa Rica hotel is one of the best choices for proximity to Manuel Antonio National Park and Manuel Antonio beaches. From your room, it's just a 50m (164-ft.) walk to the beach (Playa Espadilla) via a raised wooden walkway.

All of the hotel rooms here have plenty of space, nice wrought-iron queen-size beds, tile floors, a desk and chair, a fan, and a small porch. All but two of the rooms come with a basic kitchenette. Some of the larger rooms even have two queen-size beds.

This Costa Rica hotel has no restaurant, but there are plenty within walking distance. There's a small pool here, for when the surf is too rough. You'll find Verde Mar on the beach side of the road just before the Mar y Sombra.

Facilities: Small pool; laundry service
