Nestled beyond large mango trees off the main road are 12 tastefully decorated guest rooms surrounding a blue mosaic pool under a canopy of lush greenery.  In each room are custom-made beds with high quality mattresses and linens. Walls are drenched in refreshing hues. Rooms have ceiling fans, new air conditioning units, safes and televisions.  Some units have open-air showers. Monkeys can be seen in the canopy above the pool.
We are within a short walk to many excellent restaurants. The nearest part of the beach can be reached in a twenty minute walk. Or take a 5 minute bus ride to Manuel Antonio Park and Beach.  We have a security guard at night to watch the hotel grounds and parking lot.

Hotel Mandarina is located in Manuel Antonio, just outside the small Pacific coast port town of Quepos.  We are at the highest elevation on the main road about halfway between Quepos and Manuel Antonio National Park. If you chose to drive, you can park your rental car in our secure lot behind the reception building. Manuel Antonio is only 3 1/2 hours by car or bus from San Jose, so long as you take the shortest route. Faster yet, is a 20 minute plane ride from San Jose on Nature Air or Sansa Airlines. Quepos and Manuel Antonio are fairly easy to navigate since there are only a few main roads.

We are just 1.2 miles (2 Km) from some of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica with the entrance to Manuel Antonio National Park at the end of
the main road. A twenty minute walk down the secondary road from the hotel will bring you to a secluded beach. The local bus stops 50 yards from
the hotel and brings you to the main beach or Manuel Antonio National Park in 5 minutes.
