Puntarenas All inclusive Vacations

Everything was very nice overall, and we really enjoyed our stay. The only downside was that there wasn’t a designated smoking area on the property. Guests who want to enjoy a cigar and a drink have to walk off the property, and the designated area is quite far away. I think it would be a great improvement if the property could allocate a comfortable outdoor area where guests can enjoy a drink and a cigar without having to leave the property. Even cruise ships have designated smoking areas for guests, so I believe this would be a nice amenity to consider. It would make the experience even more enjoyable for guests who appreciate having a place to relax and unwind.

Noah's Forest is truly a gem. It is incredibly clean, beautifully landscaped, and everything is modern. The restaurant was great, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. It is a truly luxe experience. If you're comparing different places, book this one. If I find myself in CR again, I would go out of my way to stay here again. PS - we booked Noah's Hideaway which is a somewhat more private section of rooms of Noah's Forest and I think the rooms are a little nicer. It was confusing for us to understand the difference between the Hideaway and Forest just from the photos and websites online.

Great place. Staff is really nice.

Our stay at Gaia Hotel & Reserve was wonderful, but what truly made it exceptional was the outstanding level of service. From the moment we arrived, we were incredibly impressed by the warmth, professionalism, and genuine attentiveness of the entire staff. You can tell that providing exceptional service is part of the culture of this hotel. Everyone made us feel welcomed, cared for, and completely at ease throughout our stay. A few people especially stood out: Chris at the front desk and concierge was fantastic—always attentive, knowledgeable, and ready to help. Oscar was wonderful from the moment we arrived, helping with our luggage and transporting us around the property with such kindness and a great attitude. The restaurant staff was equally impressive, especially Abraham and Jack, along with the rest of the team, who were consistently warm, helpful, and attentive. The property itself is beautiful, but for us, the people were the true highlight. Exceptional hospitality and a level of service that we will absolutely remember. Thank you to the entire Gaia team for making our stay in Manuel Antonio so special!

Amazing place, staff is very nice. Lots to do on the property, excursions were easy to book via the front desk. The rooms were outstanding

This is the best stay I have ever had! If you are going to stay in La Fortuna you MUST stay here. It was such a dream!
