This hotel is located about 2 km from Quepos, 5 minutes’ drive from Manuel Antonio National Park. Its spacious suites have a kitchenette and jungle views, and there is an outdoor pool.

From your suite you can watch sloths, toucans, monkeys and iguanas. Each suite in Hotel Plaza Yara has a seating area with sofa and cable TV, and the kitchenette has a microwave.

We loved this hotel! I went with my 19 year old daughter and we were both impressed by the size of our room, as well as the lush rain forest surrounding the property topped off with a viewing deck. The staff were great, one gentleman even gave us a tour of the hotel as we were checking in. The pools are good and have a nice view of the greenery. They also have a wonderful gallery attached to the hotel- beautiful hand painted ceramic pieces there (we picked up a lizard to hang outside). They also have the sweetest dog (Yara) who stays in the lobby all day. My daughter was obsessed with the dog and she was very friendly and greeted everyone! We also saw a few white-faced monkeys outside the window of the art gallery which was a pleasant surprise. I would recommend to stay here!

    I loved the privacy of staying in the townhouse section. Our view was unbelievable, and the room was very interesting in its design. Modern lines and floating stairs. Floor to ceiling sliding doors that would allow you to wake up and go to sleep in awe. The shower and water pressure were amazing! The butlers that we had were the best👌 so helpful and really took interest in our happiness.

    We absolutely loved our stay at Mango Moon! The setting is just beautiful, surrounded by lush rainforest and all its animal inhabitants. Plus there's a great view through to the sea, making for stunning sunsets. We were lucky to stay in the Howler Hangout and were over the (mango) moon about all the critters we saw (and had visit us on our balcony), including monkeys, toucans and even a sloth. The owner's dog Lucky is also lovely to have around the place! We miss it there already!!

    A fantastic small boutique hotel. Very well designed. The room was lovely. The pool area is fantastic. Very good breakfast. Excellent staff. It's very tastefully designed. It's a small hotel so did not feel at all crowded and the staff looked after us extremely well. The Wi-Fi was good and our room was very quiet. Would highly recommend this hotel.

    The attention to detail shown in the room design is excellent. The bed, and all the other furnishings, were super comfortable. We picked a room with an Ocean View and it did not disappoint as the view was amazing and the terrace was huge and could easily fit a number of persons. Lastly, the service was very good as all the staff are very friendly and attentive. Also, the WiFi here was very good as it worked pretty much everywhere on the property.
