"Beautiful location with scarlet macaws and howler monkeys on site. A jungle oasis in the heart of Manuel Antonio. "

"No parking there, if you park on the street the cops take your license plate "

"Place was amazing. The nature walk is a must. Staff were so knowledgeable and friendly. I know it’s Costa Rica but I was annoyed at having to kill 10 ants a couple spiders and a beetle in my hotel room. Despite that it was very clean. I’d still go back tho. "

"Older hotel with a nice setting in a prime location. Facilities were a little dated but some might consider this part of the "charm". Staff was friendly and helpful. We stayed in a Family Room which was well sized for our family of 4. A couple things would make it more functional: (a) Mini-fridge -- there's no way to keep any of your own drinks/food cold, (b) Shelving/storage -- besides the floor there are few places for 4 people to put their things."

"We arrived late and got a warm welcome from the night staff. Our room, was downstairs, at the end of the building, huge, and spotlessly clean. The bathroom was a good size and split up from the bedroom by a handy dressing area. We had a balcony, our view was small, with some garden, the jungle and next to the path down to the beach (quite steep, takes 5- 10 minutes to walk down to beach , 10 minutes+ to get back). I was initially disappointed by the view, but grew to love it. We saw squirrel monkeys, capuchin monkeys, at very close range - definitely follow the hotel advice, the monkeys are entertaining but naughty. We also heard and saw so many birds. It was quiet and very relaxing. The restaurant was where we got the best views of the ocean and the jungle, we could spend a long time up here, aided by a good breakfast and lovely staff. The pool areas were great. Not big pools, but they weren't packed. Lovely views. Lovely cocktails (a lot cheaper in the town of Manuel Antonio - but then you weren't lazing by the pool) and attentive staff. The whole hotel is built on a steep hill, they have a trolley-car to take you up to the restaurant, pool or reception. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Booking tours was also very easy. I would happily return to this beautiful spot. "

"My son and I chose Hotel Lirio because of its central location, which made it incredibly convenient for the excursions we had planned. From the moment we arrived, the experience was welcoming and seamless. We were greeted by a kind & attentive receptionist who personally escorted us to our room, highlighting key areas of the hotel along the way. Our room featured comfortable double beds, was spotless, and offered a beautiful view of the sunset—an added bonus after long days of exploring. One of the standout aspects of our stay was the exceptional service we received from Wilfredo. That first evening, he went out of his way to find an NHL game for us on the restaurant TV and handled our special meal requests with care & attention. His dedication didn’t go unnoticed—we learned he works both day & night shifts, yet he remained consistently friendly and engaged. We saw Wilfredo again the next morning during the all-inclusive breakfast before an early excursion, where he continued our conversation with genuine warmth. Later, between outings, we returned & were treated to a customized burger prepared by his brother, Olman, the chef—an excellent meal that exceeded expectations. On our final morning, we had to leave very early, & once again Wilfredo ensured we were taken care of by arranging a to-go breakfast, which we truly appreciated. Overall, it provided not only a comfortable & convenient stay but also outstanding, personalized service that made our trip even more memorable. "
