Bed and breakfast vacation rentals in Bahía Ballena

Great, peaceful, comfortable, the location is great you can go into the center on foot! You are a 15 min by antonio manual car! On the bird perch we saw 2 aras crossing what happiness we loved spending time in this place!

We were greeted by David and Penelope upon arrival with a warm welcome. We stayed on the ground level in the 2 bedroom suite with our own kitchenette however we received two wonderful meals per day with request. Our hosts were wonderful, informative, and accommodating arranging for a monkey tour through the Mangroves by boat and informed us of the tortuga release just down the beach from where we were staying so we could take the easy 5 minute walk to watch the release. Oh, speaking of the beach, it was amazing to have such an amazing expanse to walk wash day. We couldn't be more happy with our decision to stay with David and Penelope. Looking forward to our next stay with them.

I was looking for an escape into the mountains and didn't have a lot of time (or preparation) for major hiking. Mirador Valle del General offered nature trails and that beautiful view of the valley which was just what I needed for peaceful contemplation - not to mention the restaurant offers a lovely menu and lots of hummingbirds come visit while you're sitting enjoying the view. This was just what I needed for a night away from the coast.

We live in Costa Rica, and even so, this was a magical escape for us. Our 8 and 10 year olds loved the horseback ride, waterfall hike, and mangrove tours. One of our favorite trips ever!

This place is a very nice spot if you are visiting Manuel Antonio. Close to everything!

This place is a gem! The owner(s) clearly put a lot of love into the place and the landscaping. I absolutely loved the river access and enjoyed it every day - so many fun places to explore right from the Airbnb! I could easily spend an entire month here. I hope that I am able to stay again someday.

This place is a great find and an amazing location for the park, we loved seeing the wildlife in the garden and relaxing by the pool too. The staff were really friendly and helpful with parking and the bags. The breakfast was delicious and generous. Overall, this was great value and I would recommend.

Super grateful. The stay is in a very quiet place, in addition to meeting our expectations, very clean and tidy; we felt like at home. Thank you for your help. The breakfast at the bar was amazing.

We only stayed 2 nights, wish we could’ve stayed longer, manuel antonio is extremely beautiful and this airbnb makes a great space to stay at, good A/C, equipped kitchen area and the room was very cozy and comfortable, would love to go back

We had a great stay! The location was excellent—super convenient for everything we wanted to do. The place was just as pictured: clean and comfortable. There’s free street parking right out front, which was a nice bonus, though spots can be limited at times. Overall, a really smooth and enjoyable experience!

The place is amazing, is a resort next to the beach with a private road to it. The staff is GREAT, the common areas are awesome, and is relatively close to the things you can do in Manuel Antonio, I would say that if you are looking for a nature retreat PLEASE BOOK THIS HOTEL, is surrounded by beautiful fauna and the views are just great. Only thing is that the host doesn't respond or give indications to get to the place I guided myself thanks to a comment that said the name "Shana by the beach" you can just google it and the gps will take you there.

We had a great time! Adriana was not there but we were welcomed by her daughter Karin, who was very kind and nice. The day after we arrived, they knew we were coming back from a boat tour, it rained very hard and they immediately wrote to us if we needed a drive from the dock to the Hotel, so we didn't get wet. Very attentive, kind and ready to make you feel good. We really enjoyed it! Room as described and very clean. They also made us use their kitchen and refrigerator. Thank you, Pura Vida

My husband and I stayed here for just 3 nights and we could have stayed forever! The staff was SO nice and helpful, calling us taxis, communicating every morning about housekeeping service times for our convenience, and just an overall super happy and friendly presence. We couldn’t be happier with our choice to stay here and absolutely will return in the future!

Stephanny was really friendly she does the best scramble eggs in town with onions and mix tomatoes...Her staff too are really nice..Especially Jessica house keeper a nice smile and a joy of life . totally recomended..pool was a plus in this heat..15 minutes walk to sierpe downtown....🙂

We loved our stay at Buena Vista. Just steps from the beach and easy drive to dinner spots, parks and activities, it was a great spot! Our room was super clean and saw monkeys, birds and lots of wildlife from our balcony. Would definitely visit again. 🦥 🌊 🌴 pura vida
