Top 5-Star Hotels in Quepos

Our stay at Makanda by the Sea was nothing short of extraordinary. The service was first class, our room was spacious and luxurious and the staff were super attentive to all of our needs and requests. They seamlessly arranged all of our excursions, tours and transportation upon our request in a timely manner. They made us feel like we were royalty throughout our entire stay. Since it was our honeymoon, we wanted a place that was nice and secluded with great onsite amenities and Makanda far exceeded our expectations. We couldn’t have chose a better place to celebrate our union. Starting with Leo and Ariana in the reception office to Alfredo, Luis, Johnathan, and Keilor at the pool terrace/bar and Arbol Restaurant; they remembered our names and gave us recommendations on how to make the most of our stay in Costa Rica. We definitely hope to come back soon with friends. Pura Vida!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Shana and found the room, facilities and staff excellent. The breakfast, the bar and the dinners were equally excellent and the beach was also an added bonus. We plan on returning to Shana on our next visit it Costa Rica.

I’m a pretty average traveler - I’ve been to 8 countries, so more than a lot of people but also less than a lot of people, but this was by far my favorite place I’ve ever been. I’ve always said I won’t return to a place, so I can keep exploring, but I would come back here without a second thought. The resort was truly amazing. They take their conservation very seriously with their practices and protected wildlife areas. The resort was ALWAYS clean despite being in the middle of the jungle and just generally beautiful. The staff was super kind, everyone seemed very genuine and happy to be there. Shout out to Yerald & Mar at the pool bar for the constant attentiveness and smiles (and drinks of course). Also shout out to Elias - the onsite naturalist that leads the night hikes. He was so knowledgeable, showed us so many cool animals, and has worked with National Geographic! He knows his stuff. Between excursions and the resort, we saw new wildlife everyday. There were capuchins on our balcony, you could hear the howler monkeys daily, iguanas, opossums, raccoons, geckos, macaws, sloths, grasshoppers the size of your face, and we watched humpback whales from our balcony every single morning. Since going in the off season, not all of the restaurants were open but what I ate was phenomenal. Breakfast buffet daily with rice and beans to die for and dinners at La Galería were 100%. I highly recommend going here and doing everything you can.

We took a group of 16 plus a driver and guide here for two nights in January. Upon arrival there was no one at the front desk, but the restaurant staff jumped in to help. There was a bit of confusion about our rooms, which may have been our failure to clearly articulate our needs. In any event the owner was wonderful about adjusting our room assignments to fit our needs. The rooms are small but entirely met our needs. The breakfast was off a menu: eggs and meat; pancakes; or traditional Costa Rican fare. The restaurant also offered lunch and dinner as well as a full bar. The food was quite good, especially the pizzas. A very good value and wonderful staff.
