The Costa Verde Hotel is located on a coastal rain forest bluff overlooking the Pacific beaches of Manuel Antonio National Park. Its many amenities make Costa Verde a perfect destination for those seeking adventure travel, eco tourism, sportfishing or just the tranquillity of white sand beaches and magnificent ocean views.
A full-service restaurant offers a broad selection of Costa Rican and international cuisine emphasizing fresh fruit and seafood dishes. Many people have enjoyed the balmy ambiance and luxuriant rain forest setting of the restaurant terrace, with its opportunities to observe the diverse local wildlife up close. At times, you can sit at your breakfast table and almost reach out and touch the giant iguanas lounging in the branches!

Costa Verde’s thirty acres of untouched land serve as a natural corridor for native wildlife foraging between the National Park and the beach. Some of these include; white-faced monkeys, iguanas, three-toed sloths, and a host of native birds, including aracaris, toucans and parrots, which can be observed from anywhere on the premises, especially on the resort’s private, 2 mile nature trail (guided tours available).

In addition, Costa Verde offers a nightly slide show presented by local experts at the hotel restaurant. Guests can dine while listening to talks on the natural history, archeology and geology of the Manuel Antonio/Quepos area. Troops of chirping squirrel monkeys often congregate in the nearby rain forest at dusk, providing a delightful distraction from the lecture and slide show. Manuel Antonio National Park comprises 1,685 acres and is one of the few remaining habitats of the squirrel monkey, one of 99 species of mammals found in the area.
