Amazing Honeymoon Experience

My new wife and I decided on Costa Rica, and more specifically, Manuel Antonio, for our honeymoon destination. I researched hotels EXTENSIVELY and after speaking with my travel agent we decided La Mansion Inn was the best for us... and boy was it GREAT! First off, the hotel itself is beautiful and boutique-ish and had amazing views. The room itself was awesome and huge... perfect for a newlywed getaway. The mattress was comfortable, the air conditioning was more than sufficient, and the bathroom was big and had a great shower. We even had a "lounge" room with a wrap-around sofa, TV, and deck - and this was a standard room! We really enjoyed sunbathing and having drinks by the pool. Breakfast was included in our deal and after eating away from the hotel the first two mornings and then eating in our hotel we realized that we would be eating there from that point on because it was waaay better.

Most importantly though, the staff was SUPER helpful and all spoke great English... Edgar was our main contact and basically planned our entire itinerary - he sent us jet ski/snorkeling, horseback riding, zip-lining (TiTi), white water rafting (Unique Tours), day spa (Spa Uno), and even went the extra mile to help me find the best surf breaks and best times to surf (which happened to be walking distance from the hotel which was a HUGE plus).

I can't even describe how great our trip was and how great La Mansion and its staff was for us. We will definitely be visiting them again in the future!

Wonderful Stay..Nice People..Great Service

8 nights in CR and this place was the highlight of our travels. When we arrived we were greeted with champagne. When we toured the hotel and were escorted to our room, my wife asked if we could have a room closer to the entry since she has a bad knee. No problem, they escorted us to the penthouse and gave us the room reserved for stars at no extra cost! We had a private entry, balcony and felt like royalty!

Wonderful Hotel with Top Personalized Service

Our stay at La Mansion far exceeded our expectations. The room, the view and food were wonderful, but the highlight of our experience was the level of service and personal attention we received from the staff. For example, when the shuttle bus to the beach was late, they not only called us a taxi, but they paid the fare. The attentiveness of the reception and friendliness of the bar and wait staff was unlike any other hotel we visited. The room was lovely with spa robes on the pillows and a gorgeous view of the cove. They gave us a tour of the property after we checked in. Great pool with a wet bar and breakfast on a terrace where a friendly iguana visited us. The Jacques Cousteau restaurant was very good--love the aquarium with a funny orange fish that followed us around. The Bat Bar is kitschy cool with a three foot-tall door entrance and dead bat encased in glass. My only criticism is the cheesy merchandisey decor, but that's just a matter of taste and it grew on us as part of the fun. Also the road to the hotel from town is a bumpy ride, but they were working on it during our stay so it will probably be smooth before long. We felt that all our needs were fulfilled and we couldn't have felt more welcome as guests.

Actually, the treatment was so thoughtful that our experience went beyond what we imagined a hotel could provide.

Class Personified

This is a gem of an Inn with outstanding food, great water views and a staff second to none. We stayed 9 days and couldn't be happier. These people go out of their way to be nice and the lodging is impeccable. Highly recommended. Would return in a heartbeat. Kudos to Edgar and Max for their devotion to duty!

Friendly service, great view, relaxing vacation

We had a great stay at La Mansion for 7 nights. The staff went full out to make our stay enjoyable. Even though the roads are horrible, we were provided with shuttle services to and from the beach. You will need a taxi to go out for dinner, but the rates are very low ($8 for 2). The hotel is small (21 rooms) and very quite, which makes for a relaxing stay. The restaurant is a bit expensive, but worth every $. The servers at breakfast are so friendly and the food so good, we never missed it. The hotel will arrange tours, etc and everything is on time. If you are a member of Fraternal Order of Police, La Mansion will give you a special rate. Thanks La Mansion.

A wonderful experience at La Mansion Inn

We recently stayed at La Mansion Inn and what a wonderful experience it was. La Mansion Inn offers beautiful views all around the hotel. The place was nice and clean. The swimming pool has a bar with excellent view. The staff was friendly and courteous. We love the place and would definitely stay again. We recommend this place without hesitation.

Jungle Hideaway

We just returned from our visit to Manuel Antonio, which included a 4-night stay at La Mansion. It was a wonderful experience, even before setting foot in the door. Prior to our trip, I got the idea of having a few special touches in our room upon arrival. I traded emails and phone calls with Rosalie, and she arranged for everything...she even made a trip into town for an assortment of chocolates! When we arrived, we were treated like royalty! We were taken on a tour of the property and given complimentary drinks to enjoy by the poolside bar. The room was spacious and extremely clean, with the most amazing view of the Pacific from our balcony.

The front desk personnel were very helpful and courteous throughout our visit. They booked several tours for us, called for cabs, and suggested restaurants. Another personal touch is that they always called us by our first names!

Our experience with La Mansion was nothing but positive!
