An Eco-Friendly Option in Manuel Antonio

Offering 22 units, Gaia is a 5-star luxury boutique hotel providing an eco-friendly experience for couples or families with teenage children.

Each room features an LCD flat-screen TV with cable, a home entertainment center, natural wood and stone floors, A/C, wireless telephone, safe, and a coffee station. Relax in your room while surrounded by the chirps of the many bird species in the area.

To make your stay even more comfortable, Gaia also offers complimentary on-site amenities. There is a shuttle service to the National Park and the nearby public beach.

On-Site Activities 

Your time here can either be relaxing or full of activities, so your options are not limited. Take advantage of their other facilities, like a 3-tiered infinity pool, swim-up bar, fully equipped spa, fitness center, and a business center with technological support.

Nearby there is plenty to do as well. The Quepos & Manuel Antonio villages are easily accessible, and there you can go shopping and find nightlife and adventure tours. In addition, the rainforest and national parks are only a short walk or a free shuttle away, so be ready to explore the area.

Free WiFi is available in all guest rooms and public areas, and a complimentary guided tour is offered daily in their Nature Reserve at 3.30 p.m. except on Mondays. Their reintroduction program for Scarlet macaws has been particularly successful, so don't miss out if you get the chance to experience it.

Expansive Dining

Dining at Gaia offers gourmet cuisine with a panoramic view. La Luna restaurant features a diverse menu including international, local, vegan and special dietary-need selections. The Ambar Lounge by the pool offers tapas and a happy sunset hour with live music from 4-6 p.m. All rates include a full breakfast.

Adult Only Abdiance

Another point to remember is that his hotel doesn't allow children under 13, so it's a better spot for families with older children.
