"We were very pleasantly surprised that this hotel sits on the top of its very own nature park. We saw more wildlife here than in the parks! I regret I didn't bring a telephoto lens. Monkeys played every morning while the tucans sang their unique songs. It maintains an intimate tree-top like atmosphere with only a limited amount of rooms at the top. The open-air architecture has you feeling like you are in an upscale treehouse, with the dining bar on the edge of a large precipice looking out to the ocean. The staff were exceptionally friendly. One even went out on his day off to procure our son a birthday cake!"

"Fantastic views. Very clean property. Staff was excellent. "

"Gorgeous property, felt like luxury in the middle of the jungle. Our room was great - the shower is nice & gives you the option to open the sliding window & look at nature while you shower. We are not usually pool users but we loved the pools at Gaia & used them everyday. The drinks & food were above average & all of the staff were exceptional - patient & kind to us, remembering my husband & I by name. The hotel offers a free tour by the Macaw reserve & through the forest with Clarence - what a lovely guide & experience! The transportation to & from your room is via golf cart - this was no issue but something to be aware of. Overall a wonderful experience - would stay again in a heartbeat."

"Excellent hotel with great pool and beautiful garden. Need to drive 10 minutes to beach at Manuel Antonio and not really walkable. Good restaurants close to hotel and easy access to National Park."

"Lots of trees and the property had two sloths near the swimming pool "

"The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The place wasn’t too crowded and everything was clean. We spent time at the pool and it was relaxing and plenty of space. "

"Loved our stay here! Staff was so friendly and welcoming. We loved the pool facilities and being able to see the monkeys right from our hotel! Great restaurants if you don’t want to leave the hotel although lots of great choices very close. "

"We had an incredible visit to Manuel Antonio! The staff at The Falls Resort was top notch and treated us like family. Our room was literally a gateway to the jungle with iguana, sloths, frogs, and monkeys everywhere! We will definitely return to this beautiful place. "
