We stayed here for 3 nights. Great location, clean, on the beach, nice rooms with kitchens, close to the convenience store, has a small restaurant with its own chef. We saw monkeys playing right in front of us, sloth hanging in the tree just above the pool. The kids loved the pool. Great place. Will definitely go back.

We just returned from another visit to Verde Mar. Everything has been painted, windows replaced, the quaint (but probably not safe for kids) porch railings have been replaced with attractive iron railings. Still excellent service and reasonable prices. The location right on the beach is perfect. Be very careful about rip tides along this beach. Read and heed the warning... More

My girlfriend ended our Costa Rica trip at this lovely hotel, perfectly situated steps from the sand of the most amazing Manuel Antonio beach. The staff is helpful, the hotel is quiet, and the pool is the ideal spot to end an evening. I highly recommend it!

We had the most wonderful "family vacation hotel" at Hotel Verde Mar, Costa Rica, of any family vacation place I have ever been. Friendly staff, treating you as "family" and with the lovely "bathroom", tiled and very good plentiful hot water and love big soft towel. Staff and owners will sit down with you and 'visit' just like you where... More

I spent 3 nights at the Hotel Verde Mar. The rooms were basic, but included a small fridge and a cooking burner, which was nice since we were able to save some money by making our own lunch and dinner. The pool is nice and refreshing, and it is a minute walk down to the beach. The beaches in Manuel... More

We have stayed at the Verde Mar six or seven times, and it has always been a pleasure. There are plenty of fancier hotels on the hill leading into Quepos, but if you want a great hotel on the beach, this place is for you. The location is ideal -- you can walk to the Manuel Antonio National Park. You... More

This is a great location. Easy access to the beach, within walking distance of the park, shopping and restaurants. The staff is supper friendly and always willing to help. The only problem we had was the gate to the beach was not always working. You would sometimes have to go through the adjoining lot that wasn't maintained. There is a... More

The Verde Mar seems custom made for families traveling on a budget. The plain, minimally appointed rooms, which have kitchenettes, did not invite one to linger in there longer than just for sleeping and bathing. They have a decent and heavily used pool. But the nicest thing about the Verde Mar is that it has direct beach access and is... More

This hotel met all of the needs of our family. We have 4 kids (10-17) so we had to get 2 rooms, but they had kitchenettes, so that saved us some money. There's a grocery store in walking distance-- it's pricey, but has some American offerings for when the kids just wanted spaghetti. The beach is right in the backyard,... More
