3 Jun 2026We LOVED this hotel! Very friendly staff - they went above and beyond, convenient location - we didn’t need a rental car at all, but be prepared for the strenuous walks because it is hilly! 1000% worth it though - we will be back !

17 Mar 2026Alma Vida was an amazing place to stay during our visit to Manuel Antonio/Quepos. The property and grounds were gorgeous and they had three beautiful pools. Breakfast was included, which we got every morning and was really good. It is also really close to a lot of restaurants, bars, and shops, which you can walk to. We also saw a lot of animals on the property, including iguanas, agoutis, and monkeys.

19 Apr 2026What a lovely hotel! It was an unforgettable experience. From our patio, we saw so many birds, lizards, monkeys - it felt like we were living in the forest. Our room was on top of the hill and we had a beautiful view. The rooms were clean, spacious and well equipped. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious. It was very convenient to have the restaurant on campus. The location is walkable to grocery stores, ATMs, the beach, etc. 10/10 would definitely recommend.
