I have stayed a few different places in Manuel Antonio over the past several years. I thought I would try something a bit different. Byblos has the real jungle atmosphere even though I could hear laughing and loud music from the sports bar which was not too far away. It did not really bother me too much since I enjoy... More

Situated on main road with cafes within walking distance. Older hotel but well kept and attentive staff. Grounds are beautiful as is the restaurant. Monkeys play in and around. Breakfasts were good Costa Rican fare but didn't try other meals. Liked our balcony overlooking the water. Wish the beach was closer (walking distance). Tiny little casino that opens at night(blackjack,... More

we spent 3 nites in April at Byblos. One look at our dark little room rite next to the bar and we were reaching for our wallets to upgrade to the bungalows - best move of our trip. The privacy of the cabins (you don't hear the sports bar racket much) - your own private balcony - the "feel" of... More

We visited the Byblos the second week of February. We were there for 4 nights. The hotel is well located. You can walk to the beach by a small and steep gravel road on the other side of the street or you can take the public bus in front of the hotel and within 5-10 minutes you will arrive at... More

If you want to watch sports when you're in Manuel Antonio, Byblos has the best sports bar. It has multiple screens with several games going on at once at times. The locals voted it "Best Sports Bar" and it's where they go to watch their favorite teams.

The hotel is located close to Manuel Antonio national park entrance (less than 5 minutes by car). At 5 pm you can expect for guests in pool area (monkeys :) ) and on evening you can walk to any of few cafes... More

We stayed here for 3 nights on driving tour through Costa Rica . Our rooms were in the main building and were adequate for our needs . The grounds were most interesting with a variety of animals and birds. The best was when the monkeys visited the resort grounds usually in the early evening about 4:30 to 6. You could... More

The hotel is completely blending with the gungles of Puntarenas. Beautiful villas, stylish interior with many original detals. The only thing the people should know about it before booking - if you are planning to relax after a good swim in the ocean, this hotel is not for you. There was an outdoor sportsbar in the hotel right in front... More

Thank you for taking the time to post your comments, Byblos is very pleased you enjoyed your recent stay in one of our Bungalows (we actually don't have Villas). In fact, these units are very popular due to their eco-friendly solar panels, hardwood ceilings and of course the balconies that provide the true jungle wildlife experience you mentioned below! However,... More

We thought that the staff at reception and at the restaurant were top notch. The room was everything we needed and more. Very comfortable hotel. I used the pool and thought it was well maintained and clean.
