This is the second time I've stayed at Villas El Parque and I WILL be going back. I feel nothing but safe here. There are security gates (with cameras) and a night watchman. Plus they provide closets with a lock and key so you can store your stuff while out. All pathway lights were illuminated during our stay and there... more

We rented villa#15 (which is for sale by the way).Upon arriving, no lights at the complex, had to use cell phone lights to get to unit. Found there was no way to secure upstairs villa due to indoor/outdoor screen in shower. People could come across roof of porch and cut screen to villa. Several villas screens were ALREADY cut we... more

This was the perfect hotel to be right in the heart of it all in Manuel Antonio. We stayed in a duplex with a full kitchen, 2 private patios with amazing ocean views, for the price of a tiny room in a nearby hotel. Great service as well! more

This villa had an amazing view from the open porch with a hammock on it. Clean and newer bed covers etc, fully stocked kitchen in our unit. We saw tons of wildlife from the porch, staff was pleasant and maids cleaned the room daily. Unfortunately though it did not come with breakfast. more

You stay here for the view. we stayed in Unit B Bella vista at the Hotel Villas El Parque. The front desk concierge , Henry, helped us doing a lot of things. like finding us a guide for our hike through M.A. and setting up the zip line canopy tour for us as well. The beds were comfortable and clean.... more

We stayed at Villa el Parque during the Easter Holiday weekend, spent a few days in other parts of the country, then returned for a finish at the beach. My wife and three teen age children and I were in Costa Rica for the first time. The view is as good as advertised,and we had the addition of seeing monkeys... more

Obviously, you can tell by the title that our stay this year was awful. However, we stayed at this same hotel in 2007 and had a wonderful time. So I'll contrast both experiences, and hopefully you'll learn what you need to know to get the most from this hotel, and not have the same experience we had. First, Villas el... more

The best thing about this place is the location, the view and that private terraces. We were lucky enough to get a room that didnt require walking up and down at least 50 stairs. The room was very plain, not much better than a cheap MOTEL. The bed was extremely uncomfortable and thankfully I brought my own pillow. The bed... more

My girlfriend and I stayed here in February 2006 during a 3.5 week tour of Costa Rica. To put things in perspective most of the places we stayed throughout the country were more or less backpacker type places (cheap hotel, not hostel). So while it was not a 5* experience we may have been overly impressed in comparison to previous... more
