My wife and I stayed a week at GAIA and it was AMAZING! Upon arriving at the property the staff was fantastic. They greeted us by name once we entered the gate and brought us up to reception where we were met with a VIP experience. Alex and Stephanie were beyong accomodating and went above and beyond. They setup all of our activities and made all the necessary accommodations including transportation. They even sent me all the details to make sure I had all the right info. Then they followed up with us to make sure everything went well. They set us up on a park tour with our guide Clarence who was phenomenal! He was not only informative but tremendously skilled at his job as well. He helped my wife get amazing pictures of the wildlife and was a pleasure to talk to. Clarence as well was our guide for the Macaw tour and we were given a top notch tour once again. The restaurant staff was superb to say the least. Ricardo, Steven, Adam, Andre, and Steven from Columbia were phenomenal hosts and made us feel like family. The service was second to none. We were made to feel welcome and all our needs were attended to. The food was wonderful and we couldn't of asked for a better experience. Boris the owner would even come greet us at breakfast in the mornings to say hello and make sure we were enjoying our stay. My wife and I loved this trip to Manuel Antonio and a big reason we did was because of the staff and our stay at Gaia. The property was beautiful and amazing.

The staff was absolutely amazing. Our personal concierge José was attentive and helpful. The restaurant was delicious, the property was quiet and beautiful. They took care of everything for us -reservations, transportation, recommendations, etc. Everyone knew our names, housekeeping was impeccable. We toured the nature reserve and our guide Clarence was so friendly and knowledgeable. I would never stay anywhere else.

Beautiful property with some thoughtful considerations. Light dimming and personal concierge. Great view from balcony. Personally, I think some reconsiderations in some of their interior design would be nice. It of course, could be my personal taste. Staff is very friendly

This hotel is somewhat isolated, but it does provide shuttle service to public beach (which we took advantage of). The food at the dining room was some of the best we had in our 12 days throughout Costa Rica. The check in and check out were efficient. Concierge service was provided via WhatApp and was smooth during our three day stay. The staff was outstanding. The room was dated and apartment like with television in the bedroom instead of the living room. Overall, we had a pleasant stay.

The hotel was quite beautiful and so were the views. They have a sky lounge to observe the sunset. The Scarlet Macau Conservation was a great hike- saw a sloth anpart from the macaus- and is complimentary. The place is overall dated but otherwise good.

If you're looking for a quiet, quaint place to stay with amazing customer service, this is the place for you! We spent 4 nights at Gaia and thoroughly enjoyed our room and the staff. We booked a jungle view room and it was exactly what we expected ..clean, quiet and great AC. The next morning, Boris, the owner approached us at breakfast and informed us that he wanted to move us. He moved us to an amazing suite with a rooftop deck overlooking the ocean! Totally unexpected but appreciated! Carlos helped us get to know the place and helped us line up transportation to Tamarindo at the end of our trip and Jimmy made sure we were always fed and had our beverages whether it was morning coffee or evening cocktails. We enjoyed the vegan breakfast each morning as well as a couple of options for dinner. The view of the macaws each evening topped off the view The hotel provided us with transportation to the beach as well as set us up with a trip to the park. Overall, it was an amazing stay and we would do it again! Special thanks to the gentleman who came and saved us from our unexpected guest as well as our pool side bartender who we watched the monkeys with. Apologies for not knowing your names.
