Hotels in Santa Maria

"The property is gorgeous, filled with beautiful vegetation and flowering shrubs, and trees. It is bursting with unique, birds, butterflies, and monkeys. We even spotted sloths in the trees multiple times with the help of the friendly staff. Our accommodation were clean and comfortable."

"We stayed at the forest view room and the view was absolutely breathtaking, and the beds were comfortable. It was a pleasure watching the sunrise from your bed every morning before excursions. The staff were welcoming and very competent. The hotel is a boutique style so the staff will know you by name and drive you with their golf cart from/to the main gate whenever. For all service all you have to do is text them on WhatsApp and they are there in less than 5mins. The hotel is a park as well so you will spot animals. We got to see sloth, monkeys, and macaws. We also zip lined the park, which again the staff can help you book. They also arranged our Manuel Antonio Park tour. They have multiple hanging bridges to visit. In conclusion, quoting my teenage son, this hotel is AMAZING! They have everything. "

"Gorgeous property in a lovely tropical setting. We saw more wildlife at the resort than at the National Forest! Was our 2nd stay at Parador and we can’t wait to return!"

"We recently stayed at El Faro and had a fantastic experience. The hotel staff were incredibly friendly and always quick to answer any questions we had. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and well taken care of. One of the highlights was the breathtaking view from our balcony—it was the perfect spot to relax after a day of exploring. Mornings were a treat, too, thanks to the delicious breakfasts served each day. The location truly can’t be beat. It’s just a short walk to the beach, shops, restaurants, and the entrance to Manuel Antonio National Park. We had read about the hike up the hill to reach the hotel and were a bit concerned, but it turned out to be easier than expected—and even enjoyable (our group’s ages were 11-58)! We were lucky enough to spot a sloth in the trees along the way. For those who prefer not to walk, golf cart rides were always available. A fun surprise were the capuchin monkeys—nicknamed “La Mafia” for a reason! They’re very entertaining to watch, but definitely keep your distance and your food hidden. All in all, El Faro was a perfect base for our group Rolf two families. We would stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Manuel Antonio. "
