Very good

For our first visit to Costa Rica, we chose to stop in Manuel Antonio, and we couldn't have picked a better spot! Being right across from the beach was incredibly convenient, even with the busy street. The real highlight was our room at the top of the hill – the view was simply spectacular! Just a heads-up, the climb is no joke, so definitely pack light. We loved our stay and would recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable Manuel Antonio experience
We loved this property. Its on a gorgeous beach with warm water and has a lovely well maintained pool. The grounds are well kept up, have monkeys, agoutis and iguanas running around. Beds were comfortable and our AC worked well. Drinks and food and breakfasts were all great. Will stay here again
I stayed in a mountainside villa for 4 nights with a gorgeous view. The WiFi and AC worked perfectly my entire stay, I put some insect repellant below my door or a beach towel which prevented too many uninvited guests in the evenings, there was some construction happening during the day but I imagine most people would be out and about during the day anyway, the staff were friendly and helpful, and if you have an early tour booked, they let you grab a to go box for the included breakfast which worked great for me :). Overall I really enjoyed my stay and I would stay here again if I were in the area!
We stayed in room #7 and it was a steep climb up the stairs, but the views made it worth it. Rooms were basic with 2 beds, sitting chair, mini fridge, and bathroom. No TV but did not want one with so much to do. WiFi worked great. Breakfast was included and was perfect. Pool was very nice. Restaurant had good menu options and the staff was super nice. Beach chairs and umbrellas provided too.

Do not get the rooms on the “Hill “
Lots of steps and live animals. Bite/ stung by a large ant - lots of pain - not sure it was a bullet ant!!!
Great property. Would be much better if they had microwaves and coffee maker in room. Prices at the restaurant are way too expensive. Everything else is great, the location, wildlife, and beach is amazing.
The accommodations are basic, nice and clean..but you stay here for the fantastic beach and atmosphere directly in front of the seaside restaurant. Amazing vibe! Monkeys, toucans, and Macaws all over -fantastic mid range option if you’re a beach person. You have to request the beachfront rooms though or you will be on the other side of the road.
After a week of rain in Costa Rica, we finally arrived at Manuel Antonio Beach and the Karahe Beach Hotel and we loved it! We had a room near the beach & restaurant. The grounds were beautiful, room was convenient to the pool, beach & restaurant and the staff was very friendly and helpful!
