Boutique Hotel Las Cascadas

This gem is tucked away from the wild hills of Manuel Antonio National Park but close to the town of Quepos. The location is spectacular. Our room (Toucan Suite, I believe) granted us both ocean and jungle views. On our very first day we were visited by white-face monkeys, and every other day by another species of monkey. A variety of birds and lizards visited daily on our balcony. Our morning "alarm clock" were two beautiful red Macaws whose home is a palm tree on the property. Ther are options for breakfast which is included. We always chose the Traditional Tico breakfast which is fruit, eggs, toast, and rice & beans with cilantro, plus either coffee or orange juice. The pool was lovely and refreshing after a day of beach-hopping. We rented a car and drove into town each day. I saw many guests called for taxis. There is a local small community park nearby to look at the marina and watch surfers, with a small playground and some artwork. Also at the bottom of the hill is the posh Marina with a few restaurants and high-end boutiques, as well as a hospital with medical clinics and laboratories (including some medical imaging). On the other end of the street are the restaurants, small stores, and markets for an authentic experience. We did light shopping for snacks, a swimsuit, knock-off Costa Rican futbol jerseys, empanadas, and groceries. We used the kitchen in the hotel each night which saved us some money and allowed us to really enjoy the hotel balcony with a gorgeous view of the moon and the water with a stunning sunset I won't forget. I highly recommend this property.

My wife and I loved the view; we could see the ocean and exotic animals like macaws, iguanas, and monkeys from looking out the many windows in our room. We had breakfast each morning on the property, which was both delicious and could be eaten quickly so that we could go on early morning excursions. The were times we were running late, and the staff would make the breakfast for us to go, and we would take it on our 8:00 am tour bus. Every single person we met was extremely friendly and pleasant to be around.

We saw quite some wild life on the hotel premises: different types of monkeys and parrots. You could see the sea in the distance. We spent time on the terrace, was nice to have one (we booked The Nest). The staff was nice and they have 2 really chill dogs.

This boutique hotel was a small piece of paradise. Everything was beautiful, from the intricately carved wooden furniture, the wall paintings created by an artist, the pool although small was so relaxing. My room was clean and they even put little flowers on my bed in the morning. Breakfast was simple and made with fresh ingredients including fresh fruit, eggs and delicious coffee. There is a full bar by the pool. i don’t drink but they had great smoothies and homemade pizza. In addition, it’s a family run place and a lot of care is put into everything. Dylan was so kind. He helped us plan our excursions, gave us tips on where to eat and what to do in the area. My first two nights, I stayed at the tree top room. I wouldn’t recommend it for someone who isn’t in good physical shape because there is a steep incline to get there but if you can manage you should definitely book this room. It has panoramic rainforest views. Parrots come to visit the trees right outside of the room and a couple afternoons I had lots of monkeys visiting. They got on the roof and peeked through the window. I even got to see a momma monkey and her baby. I didn’t get to see as many monkeys when I went to Manuel Antonio. The third night I stayed in one of their family rooms. it was quite spacious with a couch that turns into a bed in the living room a queen bed in the bedroom and a full kitchen. ideal for a family. I 100% recommend this place.
