Good decision to choose to stay at Alma Vida Hotel. We were more than happy with the quality of the service, especially Kevin and Esteban whom excel at their work and even provided advises beyond the hotel surrounding. We have nothing to say than good words about this experience. We'll surely come back as soon as we can

Property is looking good from outside, but rooms are extremely old from inside. For example, bathroom sink, toilet or shower are very rustic and old and seem to not have been renovated since ages. Everything else is fine and beautiful within hotel premise and surrounding and views from hotel room balcony are awesome. Staff is very nice so their services are good. Free breakfast made to order is also awesome and one of the positive for the hotel.

Amazing stay at Alma Vida Hotel. When booking this hotel, we were skeptical as it had no reviews on Expedia but were pleasantly surprised as the hotel is in a beautiful location right outside Manuel Antonio National Park, with nice clean updated rooms that are very airy and comfortable. There is some work/renovation being done on the property, however, it never bothered us. Breakfast was delicious and the staff were very friendly and kind. I would definitely stay here again!

Pode melhorar!
O hotel é mais caprichado na área externa do que no quarto, muito pequenino. Houve confusão com o café da manhã, e tivemos que comer algo feito muito rapidamente e sem graça para conseguir participar do passeio que tínhamos programado. A localização é ótima.

The room was very good and also the staff very helpful, I wish to thank Victor and Kevin, who really helped us.
I have a complaint, related to breakfast. Food was good but in very small amount. In the first day it was complete but in the following days eggs became egg, breads became a slice and fruits were 5-6 small pieces or half a banana. This should not happen considering the high price we paid. I am sure Victor did the best he could, the problem was at administration I suppose.
