The gay owners of this intimate hotel cater to many of Manuel Antonio's LGBT+ travelers; it's particularly popular with men. The upstairs rooms are breezier. All guests and visitors must be 18 years or older. You can sun your buns around the beautiful, clothing-optional, 24-hour pool and hot tubs, where you may be joined by a couple of resident iguanas.
The 12 rooms are white, airy and tiled with blue splashes of color. Four apartments sleep up to four people. They're centered around a rainforest garden with exotic plants and wildlife, and sit on a hillside with an infinity pool and 180-degree views of the ocean. At the time of research, a new owner had just taken over, who is set to keep the current vibe and clientele of the hotel but also add improvements.
Manuel Antonio has always been open-minded when it comes to same-sex couples and the hotel is set to host same-sex marriages from 2020.
