Manuel Antonio
ABOUT
Imagine... You wake to the sound of howler monkeys outside. You open the door and step out on the patio. It's the crack of dawn and colorful birds are singing. You take a drink of your fresh-brewed, delicious
Costa Rican coffee and think "this is what pura vida means". You think about the day ahead of you in beautiful Manuel Antonio. The possibilities seem endless but one thing is certain, the beach is just a short walk from the hotel and that's where you're going first. Maybe you'll walk over to Manuel Antonio National Park to see the exotic animals. And afterwards, spend the afternoon lounging around the pool at La Vela.
It's going to be an amazing day and it all begins at La Vela Boutique Hotel...
