Nice boutique hotel

Loved the welcome drink & property orientation. On-site food was fine although cocktails were kind of weird. Room was nice - the shower was amazing. Pool was teeny and difficult to walk around (must step across decorative waterfall). Extremely steep paths all around the property - not for anyone with any mobility issues. Really appreciated the shuttle to Manuel Antonio. Staff was friendly.

This was one of the most incredible and beautiful properties i have ever stayed at. It was so private and my family stayed in the 2 BR villa which was like a mini house. The staff was incredibly friendly, you are assigned a concierge to help with everything and it was truly perfect.

Great property, great staff, Jose was our concierge. He was excellent. Johnny was helpful at the pool and Ricardo did a great job in the restaurant. Staff pointed some amazing animals for us and we saw beautiful views of macaws and sloths. Clarence’s tour of the property was incredible and extremely informative.

Amazing stay. The staff are incredible. They just handle everything with care and attention. The food was terrific and fairly priced for being a 5 star resort. The resort itself is not a huge place but it’s still awesome and I’d highly recommend staying here

Gaia Hotel is a stunning mountain resort that offers breathtaking ocean views and exceptional service. The rooms provide comfort and style, on-site restaurant serves delicious dishes, we ordered the the bbq ribs and eggs benedict. The infinity pool is a cool spot to relax, with panoramic views of the rainforest. One of the highlights of our stay was the attentive service provided by the staff, particularly by Ada, who ensured that every need was met. Guests are assigned personal concierges, which adds a personalized touch to the experience.

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.
