Karahe Hotel and Villas - Manuel Antonio Costa Rica

Comments

"We didn't expect the 90+ steps up to our room, but it did help us get our exercise. It wasn't too bad and the view from the top rooms is nice. Food was good in the restaurant, and the pool/open air restaurant area and surrounding grounds were very nice."

"I was told there are only 3 hotels that actually have beachfront properties and this one being one of them. The hotel itself is nothing to write home about, but the fact that is is just a very short walk to the beach, this facts makes this hotel a good place to stay at. Other wise i'd say i did not care for it much, it was nothing great and no great amenities, just a very basic hotel room. It does have very well maintained grounds and pool area. the staff was very friendly and helpful, the restaurant was outdoors and you could see the beach while dinning, an amazing way to begin your day, having breakfast at the restaurant overlooking the beach, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh VERY NICE. And the food always tasty, loved the breakfast buffet. also the park Manuel Antonio is just a short walk away on the beach, you walk to your left when you leave the hotel grounds and in about 10 minutes or less you make it to the end where the park is. there are a lot of tourists there and shops and restaurants, a nice place to go and hang for a while."

"This hotel was perfect for us! We stayed in a room across the street from the beach, but that was fine with us as I had already read reviews about the hill to walk up from the beach to the rooms. We saw monkeys outside our window in the morning and loved the beach accessibility from the restaurant for sunsets and relaxing. There were also beach chairs and lounges for guest use, which was also nice."

"This part of the trip was the best. We loved the hotel and restaurant. Being at the beach ended our trip with such feelings of calm and relaxation. "

"I chose this hotel despite Katia not initially recommending it. I wanted something rustic and medium priced as alternative offered was excessively expensive (though rated exceptionally well). Karahe was great location (if specifying beachfront apartments), accomodation simple but adequate. Food and service not wonderful, but lots of local options for eating so didn't matter. Enjoyed the ambience."

"The Karahe is in a prime location for beach and wildlife. We saw more wildlife (monkeys) on the property than in Manuel Antonio Park! Highly recommend the beachfront rooms, which really aren't, but are only 250-300 feet away. The restaurant is very nice and is right at the beach. Quiet serene and fantastically landscaped property!"

Hotel Karahe and Villas

Here at Hotel Karahe you'll find exotic architecture and gardens that meet the ocean and the entrance of the park only 10 minutes away within easy walking distance. The swimming pool and Jacuzzi, as well as our restaurant, sit within earshot of the ocean. Howler, White-face and Squirrel monkey, basilisks, iguanas and land crabs are among the frequent visitors here. Dine in our international restaurant and snack bar serving up tasty treats.

Among the palms, acacias and Heliconia, we have built 16 modern, air-conditioned rooms some beachfront and others. The hillside behind the hotel rises sharply and on its green slopes, there are nine air-conditioned villas, each with spectacular views of Punta Catedral and the Manuel Antonio beach.

Explore this wondrous area on horseback, through an exciting canopy tour, boat ride or ATV tour. There are also rainforest hikes, catamaran boat rides, scuba diving excursions as well as a night mangrove boat tour.
