Hotel La Posada and Jungle

We were so happy with Hotel La Posada and Jungle. We were surprised to find it right next to the gates of Manuel Antonio. The location was great with just enough around to make things convenient, but not so much that it was bustling (aside from daytime park crowds of course). All the staff were wonderful and friendly, with a special mention of Rony, who was simply the best. My kids both loved him. My 12 year old son Oliver said "I've never even thought about having a favourite hotel worker until I met Rony." We had a great time and recommend it highly.

We liked this hotel but it is a "get what you pay for" type of situation. The location is great - right next to the park and close to all the action. They really didn't have a place for us to park other than in a busy alley. We had a rental car so it wasn't of big concern to us but if you had a nice car it would be very worrisome. Our car did get backed into while it was parked and it left a pretty big dent but the guy at Posada was VERY helpful getting us in touch with our rental car company and all. The hotel is in a neat location -lots of howler monkey noises in the evening and morning which we really thought was neat! It is just sort of an older hotel - very clean but the furniture is old and things are very dated. Not for people that like a fancy, modern room but great location for easy going travelers. There was a family staying there with 5 kids and they were having the time of their lives!

We ended our Costa Rica adventure at Hotel La Posada and Jungle. My famly of 4 (11,13,44,45) stayed here in early April of 2023. This was a perfect way for us to end our 10 day tour of Costa Rica. We stayed in the Ara Macao house and it was awesome! My girls and wife loved it. Super spacious and comfortable. It had a full kitchen and large sitting area along with 2 bedrooms. The air conditioning was strong and the fans spread around the house kept the space cool and comfortable. The property has a small pool that was perfect for our two girls. My wife and I would sit and cool off in the evening while visiting with other guests. Breakfast was included and a perfect way to start the day. You choose from 4 options. We tried them all and they were good. The best part about this hotel is the location. It is literally steps away from the entrance to Manuel Antonio park. It is very convenient. The beach is only a short walk away through some nice vendors and we even came across a family of monkeys on our way to the beach. Parking can be a little tricky. Just follow your "WAZE" directions and you will end up at a dead end. From there, communicate with one of the great hosts. Rony and Aaron Perez were very helpful. They helped find a parking spot close. They also offered to help with park tickets and dinner recommendations. Lots of shops within walking distance. A grocery store right next door. It is really a great location. Make sure to say hi to Mario the resident iguana.

We stayed here for two nights. We have five young kids, and this hotel was wonderful. Nice boutique hotel next to the entrance of the national park. Wonderful breakfast. Very helpful and friendly staff. Only eight rooms in the hotel, so it is easy to meet and interact with other guests. Our kids LOVED the monkeys that come to visit! The rooms are good size, with a nice bathroom. Short walk to an amazing beach.

They made us feel right at home. My family loved this place. Nice little gem. Not 5 star but def felt like it.

My family stayed at La Posada for 3 nights at the end of December. We booked a room with two double beds and it was exactly as pictured. Very happy with the room and the hotel. Best part of the property was Rony, who runs the front desk and can help with any tour or recommendations.

The hotel is right next to the entrance to Manuel Antonio National Park, so it was quite convenient, especially with two small kids. It was an easy day to the beach and we appreciated not having to get a car or taxi back to a hotel that was farther away. The hotel itself is just ok and we were a little disappointed based on what we paid for it. The room was fine but there was visible mold in a few spots, and in general the outside areas weren’t super nice (although the kids did appreciate the pool). Breakfast was just OK compared to other places. Staff was very helpful and in particular with Costa Rican friendliness. Would I come back? I’d probably try something different. The proximity to the park was nice but I think I would have opted for a nicer place and just gotten a ride to the park.

The staff at La Posada and Jungle made us feel at home and like family. Whatever needs we had were fulfilled as well as excellent recommendations for dining and site seeing. We will definitely stay here again!

It's our 3rd time in Costa Rica and every time we've visited Manuel Antonio...and we like to stay here. However, this time, the overall feel of the hotel has changed. It used to be more family, and vibrant; There is much less of that because there is no staff working at the hotel. The staff work as tour guides and are more busy with that than the hotel part. The parking has always been tight because the hotel is right by the gate of the park, but since owners have added a ticket & guide booth on the parking spots, it is now a crazy nightmare to park. The room was okay but could be improved too. We were missing a sheet on one of the beds, and upon noticing in the evening, there was no staff to help us out. The next morning, there was no breakfast and we later learned that the cook did not show up (in the mean time, the ticket/guide staff was stressed out by the questions I was asking). The next 2 days of our stay, we did get the missing sheet, and had breakfast, which was expensive for the small plate of food. Back to the room, we were in Casa 10 "The Monkey" and it had no natural light coming in, having no idea what the weather was like. The beds and pillows were good and comfortable. There was a fridge and closet. he bathroom was a pity, with a shower door that did not close, or open. The sink fixture was poor too. A few towels were new, but others were old. We donated our purchased bodyboards to the hotel, for next visitors to enjoy. Still recommend this place!

We stayed here (family of 4) for three nights. The location is really convenient, right outside the gate of Manuel Antonio National Park, and 3 minutes walk from the public beach and a bunch of restaurants. The staff was super helpful and friendly. Included breakfast was quite decent. The rooms (and overall property) was clean, but basic and small in size, felt cramped. Overall, nothing wrong with this hotel, we had a good stay. But this is squarely a 2-star property, so go with that expectation. And for that, it was overpriced. Maybe it was the high tourist season. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if the price was half. For what they charged, I'd look for a different hotel, there are plenty in that area.
