Nice small hotel (well not small but not many rooms). And no kids is a big plus. Great view of the ocean from our bed (if facing the ocean we were in the upper right room), but like many hotels in Manuel Antonio is a bit up the hill from the beach. Even though a place like Arenas del Mar... More

We visited the area with another couple in April 2012, we wanted to spend most of our time in the Manuel Antonio area and thought the hotel had a great location - it was centrally located to get to Manuel Antonio park, Mid-World zip line, Rainmaker Park and other activities. The view was great and several animals either came right... More

This was the last leg of our honeymoon road trip. We arrived at sunset and were greeted with mango juice and a rose. They had also set out two small bottles of prosecco in ice. The room was nice. We stayed in a junior jacuzzi suite that was pretty big with a great view. There was a sulfur odor that... More

My husband and I stayed at Issimo Suites from March 23 through March 30, 2012. We totally enjoyed our stay there and felt that the hotel was private, safe and quiet – all things we wanted on vacation. Here’s the longer review if you care to read: We arrived at Issimo in the mid-afternoon and were warmly greeted with iced... More

This hotel is located in a rather isolated, up-scale neighborhood in MA. It's a 15 to 30 minute walk to the least crowded beach in MA. It's a small and peaceful hotel. I got the room from Expedia and I was surprised when they told me that I had a Penthouse suite. It had a great view and I was... More

We stayed 2 nights as a couple. Elizabeth greeted us at the desk with a warm friendly personality and she was able to help us with everything during our stay. She went over and beyond.I had forgotten some medication at our last hotel in Manuel Antonio the night before - she called over and made sure they found it, and... More

We loved our stay at the Issimo! The staff were very friendly and their service was great! When we first checked in, we were greeted with mango juice and a rose for me. Every night, they brought us strawberries and cream or chocolate. When we returned on evenings, they dimmed our room and lit all the candles before we arrive... More

Overall our stay was very pleasant, with just a few minor complaints. BAD 1) Dinner Menu...."Italian" in Costa Rica is that a joke? 2) Menu in general was very limited and very over priced. 3) I ordered Chicken and my wife ordered Pancakes and they were out of both. 4) At 9 A.M. the lady (not the one with braces,...

If you want to waste money go to Issimo suites. They will take your money like it is theirs to begin with. We had them call for a zip line canopy tour and they charged us $40 conveinence fee? More like a $40 phone call we could have made ourself. Poor service :( karma will come back to them :)... More
