My stay at Gaia was truly unforgettable. The hotel offers stunning views of the countryside right from the open-air restaurant, the rooms are incredibly spacious, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. The service was top-notch, with Sandy K Schmidt making sure I had all I needed from the moment I arrived. The location is a paradise between the jungle and the Pacific Ocean, close to wildlife experiences, Manuel Antonio, and Quepos.

Staying at this hotel was a mix of wonderful experiences and a few minor drawbacks. The private patio and roof terrace provided stunning views out to the Pacific Ocean, but there was some noise from building work in the room above. The staff at the spa were friendly and attentive, and the rooms were serviced regularly and spotlessly clean.
