"PROS: beautiful resort grounds fabulous view from room nice breakfast buffett room good but not what I booked CONS: booked a king bed got 2 queens housekeeping forgot to bring face cloths, coffee filters, cups, coffee, at least one on a daily basis. no ice machines for guests no refrigerators in rooms no wake up calls available floor tiles in showers, very slippery, no hand rails or mats pool steps no hand rails anywhere screaming loud children everywhere anniversary dinner booked at hotel, one dinner came with tomatoe sauce and tomatoes that were not mentioned on menu, which I have an allergy to. They insisted I pay for it even though it was sent back immediately without one bite taken. Maitre d was very rude and ruined our anniversary."

"Really nice place! No doubt worth staying at. "

"A budget hotel on the beach. Our room was next to the street and it was noisy. It was nice to be able to walk to the beach. "

"The room was clean and spacious. The view was stunning. "

"Came to Costa Rica for my anniversary trip. The Hotel Gaia was a pleasant experience. Overall the staff was wonderful! Never waited for answers. They were always right there with answers. I've been in the hospitality business for 31 years so I appreciate EXCELLENT service, and that it was. The room was very nice also. The complimentary breakfast made waking up early easy. It was just a short drive away from plenty of restaurants and shopping. The hotel offered free shuttle to the nearby beach and national park which we took full advantage of. Overall, I have to say the hotel experience was wonderful!"

"Beautiful property and accommodating, friendly staff. The view from both sides is stunning, the wildlife is abundant, and it's a great middle point in Quepos, 10-15 minutes from everything including Manuel Antonio. Air conditioning came in handy during hot and humid days, and while the ziplines were closed for maintenance, the hanging bridges were challenging and fun. Highly recommend."

"Hotel Costa Verde did not meet our expectations; it was the most expensive place we stayed in Costa Rica and we liked it the least. The biggest problem is the hotel room walls are paper thin so we could clearly hear normal volume conversations taking place in the next room as well as lots of noise from the baby and toddler, waking us up multiple times during the night and noisy throughout the day as well. You can hear doors opening and closing very loudly in the next room, too. The hotel does not provide basic coffee condiments in the room or in the lobby; I requested a simple dry packet of creamer, or a bit of milk, or anything for my coffee (coffee that I brought myself), and was told it's not provided. This is not what I expect from a 4-star hotel. The swimming pool (we went to Pool A twice) has a nice ocean view but otherwise it is a basic small square pool with discolored, old chairs and no ambiance at all. No music, no service, no umbrellas, no towels. Finally, be aware that the overall property consists of many buildings that are spread out from each other; our building in "Area D" had zero amenities; we had to either drive our rental car or request a shuttle ride if we wanted to go to the pool, go to the restaurants on the property, or get to Area E from which you can walk a steep path to the beach. The positive things about the hotel were a refrigerator and 2-burner cooktop in the room, hot water in the shower, and a nice balcony. I wouldn't stay here again."
