I loved the pool area and the short walk to the beach and the park. The breakfast at the Puerto Escondido at the sister property next door (also walking distance) was excellent and a lifesaver for our family. The gift shop was awesome, and you can rent a boogie board for $10 dollars a day. The property was also surprisingly quiet given the fact that the park entrance is super close and the beach access is super close. Staff was super helpful and kind, made little arrangements with the towels after cleaning our room in the morning. Great parking. The room could use another suitcase stand or a dresser. The entry/exit is really hard to turn out of. The property across the street needs to put a mirror, it was so scary every time we left the grounds.

Very nice hotel. It was the perfect location- a three minute walk to the beach and a five minute walk to Manuel Antonio National Park. Nice pool and amenities and friendly staff. The room was on the small side for the three of us but it was fine. We also had a big patio and garden space.

Lovely atmosphere with private feel yet still very close to beach and park. Breakfast on site was good and many places to eat within walking distance. The nature walk on property feels more 'jungle' then the trails in the park itself. We had two rooms side by side which worked well for our family of four. Pool area is very nice with shaded palapas. Trail at end of parking lot to beach which is flat and off the main road. Highly recommend if you want a smaller, quiet resort within easy walking distance to beach.

The property is within a 5 min walk of Manuel Antonio park gate as well as a long beach. Located a block off the main road, so a quiet location. Breakfast was fantastic - fresh fruit every day and made to order from a variety of menu items. Supper was excellent as well. Room was well equipped with fridge and coffee machine. Handy luggage rack to lay out wet clothes. Nice pool at both the main hotel and the one across the street (Gardens). We stayed at the Gardens location ground floor furnished patio and had visiting howler monkeys, giant iguanas and a variety of birds. Reception staff was very attentive and assisted with recommending and booking a couple of excellent excursions: kayaking in the mangroves and Chocolate/coffee tour (with sampling). Highly recommend staying here.

Playa Espadilla Gardens exceeded my expectations. The hotel is a short 2 minute walk to the main beach and a 5 minute walk to Parque Manuel Antonio. The pool area is compact, but has nice cabanas with fans to keep you cool. The staff here goes above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. Even after checking out, the staff provided towels so we could use the showers before our long drive. Our room was clean and more than adequate for three people. The adirondack chairs outside the room were a nice touch as well. I will definitely stay here on future trips to M.A.

Restaurants in walking distance but far from the busier area of Quepos so it was quiet. But Quepos is only a $1 ride away from the hotel. 3-5minute walk to Manuel Antonio Natl Park which was our main destination. Quiet. Beautiful people. Very nice room.
