We booked Gaia for the last few days of our vacation, having stayed in a variety of places throughout our visit both in Manuel Antonio and other areas. Unfortunately, whilst there are many great things about the hotel, we just could not understand the five star rating and price tag. Firstly, the good… the personal concierge service was extremely helpful and we received great service from Alejandro. He responded to all of our queries very quickly and nothing was too much trouble. Furthermore, all of the staff were excellent. The free shuttle to the beach is a great perk of staying here. It was timely and the driver took us over to an area that the hotel works with where we could get sun beds for $10 which we did. The pools are very nice and our bedroom had an outdoor terrace area which we enjoyed. Bed was very comfortable. The food was very good. Whilst the exterior of the hotel is lovely (albeit it does not have totally unobstructed views of jungle and overlooks what appears to be a building site) we were shocked at the state of the interior, mainly the bedroom, reception area and the sky lounge. Everything is very run down, worn and outdated and feels a little grimy. The sky lounge has lovely views but needs major redecoration. It is far from five star luxury and really let’s the hotel down.

While we are deeply disappointed about your rating, yet encouraged by your positive comments, the facts are that our rooms and common areas are in pristine condition.

Beautiful hotel in lovely grounds; the food is of good quality. Courtesy buses are available to Manuel Antonio Park and the beach. The staff and overall customer service was excellent. All extremely friendly and helpful. Within the grounds you will see wildlife, sloths, monkeys and macaws in our case as well as many beautiful birds. It isn't the cheapest hotel around but it is worth the stay. Only one thing (which didn't matter to us) the website we booked from said Adult only hotel. There were children staying
