Amazing Location, Great Property

Everything about our two night stay was wonderful. The hotel is literally steps to the ocean waves, and it’s so nice to just walk out, jump in and within seconds you can be back to the room. The beach is quite popular with tourists and locals, with various options to get food or drinks. We felt safe 100% of the time. The room itself is basic, but comfortable and clean. It’s not the most luxurious hotel in the world, but it fully meets or exceeds the western standard, which is not always common for the area. Would 100% stay again.

The perfect spot

We were so amazed by the property. Pictures online don’t do it justice. We got the best room with a balcony looking out at the beach. We saw perezosas and Titi every morning!! Additionally, the staff was so friendly and welcoming that we never wanted to leave. They really looked after us. We had just a short walk to town and to the Manuel Antonio national park. We met a friendly local family who told us (as all the locals told us) that we were in the best hands at buena vista with Raul. Thank you for an amazing experience! We can’t wait to come back

Exceptional Hotel

My wife and I recently spent a relaxing week at this hotel. The location is great, right on the beach, and close to Manuel Antonio National Park. The staff are outstanding: friendly, pleasant, and very helpful with reserving, arranging tours, check-in, and handling any requests during our stay.. Our room had great views of the beach and adjacent lush jungle and had a spacious balcony which we really enjoyed. Very good breakfasts are included, and we enjoyed other very nice meals and drinks as well. And the beach is beautiful. We highly recommend this place, and would absolutely stay there again. Gord M.

Wonderful Accomadations

We arrived early before check in but was greeted warmly and shown around. Before check-in we had instant use of all of the hotels amenities and was set up with an umbrella and beach chairs. Our unit was ready early and we were able to unpack. Ocean front, beautiful views, incredible sunset over the water right outside our room. The staff was great, the restaurant food was excellent, bar & food service on the beach. Because we had an early morning tour, a continental breakfast was provided. Great atmosphere, super clean accomadations, friendly & professional staff. I would definitely stay here again.

We loved our stay! Great location just off of Espadilla Beach. Our room was very clean and had everything we needed. Communication with our hosts was timely and appreciated. The employees were friendly and very helpful. It was nice that Dennis set up our beach chairs and umbrella each day, exactly where we wanted it. The restaurant on the property was excellent. We appreciated Carlo and Andre setting us up on the beach for dinner. Overall a great place to stay for a Costa Rica experience!

Buena Vista Plus is Wonderful!

This property is so nice with is being boutique like with only 8 rooms. The in-house restaurant has delicious food! We had lunch on the beach a couple of times. The room is compact but works just fine. We had rented a car so we had easy access to all the local restaurants. The staff are all wonderful with their friendliness and helpful ways. Lisa at the front desk was awesome! We thoroughly enjoyed all of the monkey activity around the property and were able to spot a sloth and a Toucan.The only thing we missed with this property was having a pool. While the ocean is close, often the waves were just too much for us to venture so a small pool would be nice to cool off. We would not hesitate to return here if in the Manuel Antonio area!

Lovely Buena Vista Beach Hotel

The Buena Vista Beach hotel is a lovely, small (8 room hotel) with modern updated rooms and back decks overlooking the ocean (at least some of the upstairs rooms overlook the ocean). The only time we spent in our room however was to sleep as the beach is great. The hotel provides chairs and umbrellas for hotel guests. The beach is public and people staying at hotels or houses that are not on the beach use the beach, as well as Costa Rican families. We enjoyed this l; just know there were quite a few people on the weekend enjoying the beach front property at the hotel. The hotel includes breakfast with your stay, though this is very limited with items not always available. We ate breakfast out one day as we wanted a full breakfast with some choice. They will provide you with a breakfast of granola, fruit and yogurt If you have a tour that leaves before 8am (as the kitchen opens at 7:30am) however this was pretty marginal; such a small amount of granola and yogurt was provided that we were not sure why they bothered providing it at all. Do not let this deter you; the hotel is lovely and Manuel Antonio is a great place to visit.

Perfect

The room was small but efficiently made use of all space. The private balcony was roomy and provided the perfect place to enjoy breakfast every morning and relax in the evening. Lots of wildlife in the trees to observe. The beach was steps away and absolutely breathtaking. We had a vehicle and drove up the hill for other meals and outings but there are plenty of things that were walking distance if you didn't have a car. All staff was extremely helpful and friendly as was everyone we encountered. I would stay here again.

1 night stay

Great communication with the front desk via whatsApp. The front desk was helpful on providing tips on massages and excursions. You can book directly through them. The bed and pillows were SUPER comfortable and clean. The room had a mini size fridge and coffee pot. The balcony was nice and private. Unfortunately, you can clearly hear you neighbors, while your inside the room. The location is right on the beach. It's next to other hotels and restaurants. Walking distance to Manuel Antonio National Park. About a 10 minute walk through the beach side. Breakfast was made to order and it was good. The portions could be more. Carlo was fun to talk to and very helpful. We saw so many animals while eating breakfast. I advise you drive during the day because its dark and the road is windy. Overall it was a nice stay!

Great place to stay!

Location is perfect! Only one of 2 places that’s right on the beach! The hosts/workers were great! Communication was incredible! Ms Anna helped us when we arrived! She helped with our luggage. She was so so so sweet! She was so patient & made sure we were comfortable! She gave us recommendations of things to do! She even helped us book the activities! It was also nice to have the little corner store & igloo lounge nearby. We got a quick bite to eat a few times! The morning breakfast & little outside restaurant were great! The little bar was nice as well! My daughter had her coffee every morning! The housekeeping was good as well! We also loved the local dogs that just hang out! The only complaint is that we saw 2 roaches inside our room. The gentleman that worked late got rid of the first one. But we saw another the next day that my daughter killed with her shoe. We saw one outside on the patio as well, unfortunately.

Dream beachfront stay

This little hotel has got all the right stuff! They’ve created a great ambiance, with gardens that seclude them from nearby properties, a great outdoor eating area for their kitchen and bar. The beach has both shade and sun and all day lounging opportunities the room is well equipped with a huge covered balcony, is super clean and the bed is so comfortable and luxurious. It’s close to so many things! You will need a car. And they have 24 HR security on their parking lot. We could have stayed for weeks! Loved this spot abd will return.

Incredibly friendly staff, right by National Park

We stayed recently at Buena Vista and were overwhelmed by how friendly and helpful the staff are! They helped us with every detail and were so kind. Our room was beautiful and had one window facing the ocean and the other facing the jungle. It was also extremely close to the National Park so we just walked there, no expensive parking. Overall we had a great stay and would recommend!
