ESPADILLA GARDENS HOTEL

This hotel has a sister property 3 min away… don’t be fooled… this hotel is the smaller one without the bar and restaurant. The rooms here are very small. We stayed in room 7 and it was so tiny!!!! Asked to be move to a different room the both hotels were booked because of the Easter holiday. The AC work great and the shower was hot and had great pressure. The door to the room has no door handle it just has a lock so you always have to lock it or your door opens. Also they only had 1 key for my whole family to use. It was difficult if my husband was surfing and we wanted to go to breakfast my husband would be locked out. Also the key has a big annoying piece of coconut on it as a key chain. You can walk to the MA national park!! If we ever came back it would want to stay at the sister hotel Espadilla Playa hotel!!

First this is a review for Espadilla Gardens ONLY! So not for Playa Espadilla. (This hotel is on the other side of the streets and there is the Restaurant for breakfast)
The rooms are small, dark and smell like sink! You have to close the bathroom door otherwise you can‘t stay in the room!
The pool is really hot, so you can‘t refresh yourself here! You can use the showers right next to the pool, they are cold but the pool is like a hot tub.
It is the high season, therefore the Playa Espadilla is fully booked so we can’t change to the better hotel.
At Espadilla Gardens, right next to the pool they doing construction work in the high season. It‘s really loud and disturbing.
The Location is great, right next to the Manuel Antonio National Park and like 5mins walk to a really busy beach.
In the hole area you have a smell like the sink in the bathroom but I think that‘s not there fault.
If you can, book a room in the Playa Espadilla and NOT in Espadilla Gardens!!!
Or you go to another area on the Pacific coast where it‘s not like in St. Tropez. (Busy, loud, full, dirty)

Super Lage am Nationalpark und am Meer. Hatte das beste Zimmer und das beste Bett in unseren Costa Rica Urlaub. Das Essen im Restaurant ist auch sehr zu empfehlen. Klare Empfehlung

We stayed at Espadilla Gardens for three nights as part of our trip to Costa Rica. All in all, we were happy with our stay. The location was ideal. We were able to walk to the national park, the beach, restaurants, everything that we wanted. The pools were nice. The room was sufficient but definitely not upscale. We didn’t love that we had a large physical key to carry around and that you had to have the key to close the door to basically lock yourself in. However, the housekeeping staff did a great job and everything was very clean. The air conditioning worked well. We would stay again and for a boutique hotel in Costa Rica, we think it was very good overall. The location couldn’t be beat and I’m glad we weren’t in one of larger hotels that is so much further from the beach.

Das Hotel ist einfach der Wahnsinn! Die Lage ist perfekt, nur 2 min zum Strand und 5 min zum Manuel Antonio Nationalpark. Am Pool bekam man ab und zu Besuch von Leguanen und Affen, einfach ein tolles Erlebnis! Die MitarbeiterInnen sind auch sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich gewesen.
Wir können das Hotel nur empfehlen!
