Amazingggggg service. Super friendly and efficient. Juan G especially was extremely helpful. My family got sick at some point (from somewhere else)and had to cancel and reschedule some activities and he was super helpful and very accommodating.

We stayed at Gaia’s Two Bedroom Villa with my family and honestly it’s a work of art. Three floor loads of space and that jacuzzi on the second floor with ocean view is unreal. The villa had everything we could have needed and the views from up there were absolutely stunning. We also went down to the beach a couple of time and made use of the chair and umbrella there, the price was very fair for the area. Couldn’t recommend Gaia enough, Juan Carlos was our concierge and helped me to plan every move. beautiful property. Can’t wait to come back!

We had an amazing, 6-night family stay in the large 2-bedroom suite. Jose, our concierge, was helpful before and throughout our trip, booking excursions, taxis, recommending restaurants and other local spots. Every excursion we booked through Jose/Gaia was stellar and helmed by thoughtful, engaging vendors (these excursions included Nauyaca Waterfalls, Mangrove Boat Tour, Manuel Antonio National Park). The lunches included in these trips were some of the best meals we had! Clarence, the in-house guide for visitors to Manuel Antonio National Park, was so knowledgeable, spotting animals we'd never see on our own and offering details about the Park and the wildlife throughout. Everyone we encountered at the Hotel was so nice and helpful, from the guys manning the golf carts, to the shuttle drivers, the waiters, housekeeping and the Terra Spa's masseuse. Even the owner, Boris, and the Manager (whose name escapes me - sorry!), made sure to check in and ensure our stay was nothing less than exceptional..

I would 100% come back to Gaia Hotel Reserve and would recommend to anyone visiting Manuel Antonio! Even before we arrived, we received incredible service from our personal concierge, José, who helped us book tours, dinners, and made sure our stay was perfect. The food at the hotel is amazing, the views are beautiful, and the room was extremely comfortable and luxurious. All the staff members are extremely kind, friendly, and helpful. Cannot recommend this hotel enough! Not to mention it’s located within a nature reserve which is exclusive to hotel guests, an added bonus that made our stay unforgettable.

Superb hotel. The restaurant is excellent. Very goed breakfast. The room was very clean and there was enough space. During all our stay we had our own concierge, José, thanks to him for his help, disponibility and kindness. We have also done excursions : Corcovado tour, Manuel Antonio tour, Macauw tour at the hotel and Birds watching and chocolate tour. It was very nice...I recommand. The hotel has also a very good spa. I recommand the Gaia hotel for a trip in Costa Rica.

I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to stay in Gaia Hotel & Reserve. This place is dream-like, but if it were not for its special people it would not feel like home. And that's exactly how it felt...
