Enjoy everything from fresh tropical fruits, juices, cereals, pastries, pancakes, or waffles, to a hearty Costa Rican "Gallo pinto' and cooked-to-order omelets while taking in the beautiful vistas of the bay from the La Galeria's open-air terraces.<h3>Nature at Its Finest</h3>From the property, you might witness the incredible spectacle of migrating whales, while just a bit further south, the unspoiled beach of Matapalo plays host to another of nature’s miracles: the annual nesting of turtles, which usually occurs between July and December.Scenic jungle trails shared by lazy sloths, giant iguanas, frolicking titi, whiteface, and howler monkeys lead to jagged panoramic cliffs overlooking the ocean.

Manuel Antonio was the best. We booked through Vanessa. Everything was on time and perfect. Whole experience with CRV was mind blowing. I would recommend everybody to go through this travel company and Vanessa, she was so helpful. Thank you, girl! You are a rockstar.

Perfect first time visit to Costa Rica! Planning with Felipe Martinez at Costa Rican Vacation was a breeze! He was prompt and super informative. When the time arrived, the travel was easy and very organized. All of the excursions that were recommended were top notch. Using Costa Rican Vacations and Felipe made all of the trip planning easy. Highly recommend.
