Dive into the Tropical Rainforest at Tabulia

There’s nothing like truly experiencing Costa Rican nature up close.

A Haven of Peace Among the Trees

Built with respect for its natural surroundings,Tabulia Hotel & Villas blends into the landscape rather than dominating it, creating a true sense of kinship with the world around you.

Wildlife Enthusiasts, Prepare

Surrounded by four acres of primary rainforest, Tabulia Hotel & Villas offers guests the opportunity to experience Manuel Antonio's remarkable wildlife without leaving the hotel grounds. Nature lovers will love it here: keep your eyes out the window because monkeys, toucans, scarlet macaws, iguanas, and countless other species are frequent visitors.

 

And if you want a special treat, find the high viewpoints throughout the property and look across the rainforest canopy toward the Pacific Ocean. The sunsets here will not disappoint!

A Comfy Experience

The hotel's 26 guest rooms are divided into three accommodation categories based on the views they provide. It’s all a matter of deciding what sort of experience you prefer.

 

The lower section of the property is surrounded by rainforest. Others come with semi-private balconies and a little more in-room space. The ones in the highest position of the property feature private balconies and partial Pacific Ocean views. Every room includes the expected creature comforts such as air conditioning, a mini-fridge, and daily housekeeping. 

 

If you prefer a laid-back experience without breaking the bank and without sacrificing comfort, then a boutique hotel like Tabulia is the way to go.

Things to Do for All Types of Travelers

Another perk at Tabulia is the easy access to both on-site and nearby activities. Whether you prefer to stay your vacation on-property or you’re an explorer at heart, you’ll lack for nothing here. The ocean-view swimming pool provides a relaxing place to cool off after exploring Manuel Antonio National Park, while the property's short nature trail climbs to one of the area's highest viewpoints for extra stunning photos.

 

The relaxed atmosphere continues in the hotel’s game room, next to the on-site restaurant. Here guests can enjoy a pool table, board games, and live sporting events on large screens while surrounded by the sights and sounds of the jungle.

 

Guests also benefit from complimentary scheduled shuttle service to Manuel Antonio Public Beach, so just because the hotel isn’t beachfront it doesn’t mean it’s not easy to get to the beach. There is also a tour desk that can arrange many of the region's most popular tours, including catamaran cruises, rafting, ziplining, sportfishing and ATV excursions.

 

In addition, only a few minutes separate the hotel from the famous Manuel Antonio National Park. With the nearby Marina Pez Vela, the town of Quepos, and the area’s many beaches, Tabulia Tree makes an excellent base for exploring Costa Rica's Central Pacific coast.

Costa Rican Flavors with a Twist

The open-air restaurant and bar are a whole experience on their own. Fresh local ingredients and Pacific seafood feature prominently throughout the menu, complemented by panoramic rainforest views from the dining terrace. Enjoy Costa Rican specialties, fresh Pacific seafood, grilled dishes, tropical cocktails, and local favorites throughout the day.

Book Your Vacation Now

Tabulia Tree Hotel is a great option to spend the day hiking rainforest trails, relaxing on the beach, or enjoying an adventure tour. There’s nothing like returning to a peaceful setting where the sounds of the rainforest replace the bustle of town.
