Incredibly friendly, beautiful property very enjoyable I got nonstop help and guidance about where to go and what to do as well as having a fantastic room in an unbelievable setting very very nice. I highly recommend it.
The hotel is very clean and well-maintained. It is super well located as it’s close to both really good restaurants and the beach. We loved our stay there!
Great stay! The AC worked perfectly, and the staff was super helpful with travel tips and bookings. I loved the fresh breakfasts (especially the banana pancakes). With three beautiful pools and local wildlife right on your doorstep, the morning atmosphere here is unbeatable.
Great staff, the hotel is in good conditions and they offer a very delicious breakfast. Pools are clean and location is very convenient about 3min walk from a grocery store!
We 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 !

We love the location of the Alma Vida Hotel. Staff was very friendly. There were lots of restaurants and shopping around the hotel.
Best place. We had such a good time.
A lot of animals in the hotel, and the staff is so nice.
They have their own guide for night tours, which is a big recommendation!
The room was beautiful and very clean. The staff were phenomenal, specifically Valentina and Henry! They were super helpful and patient during check-in and assistant with booking activities.
Amazing, especially compared to the mid range price. Unbelievably comfortable and welcoming all things considered. Good complimentary breakfast as well

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The staff were very courteous. The room was clean.
Great location and Leo in front office was very helpful. It would have been nice if on the website while booking that they mentioned there are no mini refrigerators on T. V's in the rooms.

Beautiful hotel, right on main strip on Manuel Antonio, very clean room, nice pool, friendly staff. We saw LOTS of monkeys every morning!
Alma 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.
