Great and comfortable stay

Amazing stay. The staff are incredible. They just handle everything with care and attention. The food was terrific and fairly priced for being a 5 star resort. The resort itself is not a huge place but it’s still awesome and I’d highly recommend staying here

10/10 Exceptional

Gorgeous property, felt like luxury in the middle of the jungle. Our room was great - the shower is nice & gives you the option to open the sliding window & look at nature while you shower. We are not usually pool users but we loved the pools at Gaia & used them everyday. The drinks & food were above average & all of the staff were exceptional - patient & kind to us, remembering my husband & I by name. The hotel offers a free tour by the Macaw reserve & through the forest with Clarence - what a lovely guide & experience! The transportation to & from your room is via golf cart - this was no issue but something to be aware of. Overall a wonderful experience - would stay again in a heartbeat.
Lisa, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a beautiful property located on a nature reserve. A tour of the reserve is included in the cost of stay and well worth it. Clarence is very knowledgeable and passionate about plants and animals.
Kanika, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Gaia Hotel is amazing, and I had a wonderful stay. The property is gorgeous, and the first day I was there, a sloth was hanging out on a tree by the pool! Everything was wonderful - the spa, the sanctuary tour, the restaurant, the room, and the view! I will definitely make sure to stay here again when I return to Quepos.
Carrie, 1-night trip

The views and rain forest environment were spectacular. Our suite was spacious, private,clean and serviced three times daily. Restaurant and bar staff were friendly,efficient snd all spoke excellent English. Can't wait to return.

10/10 Exceptional

Our stay at the Gaia was fantastic! As stated by others, the staff is amazing. Our concierge Casey was incredibly helpful, even guiding us with recommendations in other regions after we departed. Johnny was also so wonderful and made one of the best margaritas I’ve ever had. We can’t wait to come back.
Henry, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Upon arrival you’re driven on the golf cart to the top of a rainforest. If you watch carefully you can spot sloths, monkeys, and amazing birds. Our villa was the perfect arrangement for our family and gave us a great place to relax. The master balcony had morning closeup vies if a sweet Scarlet McCaw couple. You could spot monkeys and toucans from the roof terrace. Cabana and dining area on roof were added extra. Staff was super attentive and helpful. Restaurant and especially breakfast was absolutely AMAZING as were the frozen cocktails and lunch and dinner too. Please see my review for La Luna. Pool was fun with midday frozen cocktail treats (mocktails too!). Beds and sheets were perfect for helping us rest. Went in McCaw tour and hike for breathtaking view and hotel arranged for friendly and informative tour guide, Clarence, at the MApark where he helped us photograph wildlife and told us facts and tidbits about the animals. Very enjoyable! Hotel does keep tabs on your arrivals/departures but you soon realize it so they can clean your room and make sure you cone back and don’t go MIA on a hike or tour if you venture on your own. Great stay, relaxing and welcoming. Definitely go back someday!
