Just a few hundred yards from the beach and Manuel Antonio National Park, the Costa Verde Hotel features two cliff side pools with sundecks and spacious rooms and balconies, all offering a bird's-eye view of the Park's coastline plus rainforest canopy vistas dotted with native birds. Our full-service restaurant offers a broad selection of Costa Rican and international cuisine emphasizing fresh fruit and sea food dishes. Many people have enjoyed the balmy ambiance and luxuriant rainforest setting of our restaurant terrace, with its opportunities to observe the diverse local wildlife up close. At times, you can sit at your breakfast table and almost reach out and touch the giant iguanas lounging in the branches!
In addition, Costa Verde offers a nightly slide show presented by local experts at the hotel restaurant. Guests can dine while listening to talks on the natural history, archeology and geology of the Manuel Antonio/Quepos area. Troops of chirping squirrel monkeys often congregate in the nearby rainforest at dusk, providing a delightful distraction from our lecture and slide show. Manuel Antonio National Park comprises 1,685 acres and is one of the few remaining habitats of the squirrel monkey, one of 99 species of mammals found in the area.
The park also supports 353 species of birds and 138 species of trees (!) - a true testament to the area's rich ecological diversity. Its secluded beaches,breathtaking views and dramatic rocky headlands make it one of the most alluring parks in Costa Rica. Hiking, bird-watching, swimming and snorkeling are all popular pursuits in Manuel Antonio National Park. Other activities in the Quepos area include white-water rafting, sea kayaking, SCUBA diving, mountain biking and waterfall tours, to name a few. Quepos is also a sportfishing mecca that boasts an abundance of sailfish, marlin, yellowfin tuna, dorado, wahoo and amberjack. Wildlife enthusiasts will enjoy boat tours of Isla Damas, a mangrove swamp just north of Quepos. Experienced guides offer opportunities to view the rare American crocodile and numerous snakes, including boa constrictors. Shell-collecting is also a popular pastime on Isla Damas.
Two domestic airlines, Travelair and Sansa, serve the Manuel Antonio / Quepos area with four daily 20 minute flights from Costa Rica's capital, San José. We can help you with your local flight reservations and ticketing. Or rent a car and take a three hour drive through breathtaking mountain valleys and United Fruit Company plantations.

Costa Verde's thirty acres of untouched land serve as a natural corridor for native wildlife foraging between the National Park and the beach. Among many others, white-faced monkeys, iguanas, three-toed sloths, and a host of native birds, including aracaris, toucans and parrots, can be observed from anywhere on the premises, especially our private, 2 mile nature trail (guided tours available).
