LAYAN Hotel & Spa

We were so fortunate to select this hotel, it is simply one of the best places we have every experienced.  The hotel has an ideal location as it is situated on one of the highest hilltops affording spectacular panoramic views of Manuel Antonio. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful without exception. Don’t be fooled by other places to stay; their photos cherry pick the best view. Layan clearly has the best location in the area.

Beautiful property with super friendly staff and amazing well equipped rooms. The views are probably the most incredible part of the stay! Enjoy!!

I had an excellent time at Layan hotel. The staff was courteous and helpful. Food was excellent. The view of the ocean from the restaurant and my balcony was beautiful. I even had a monkey come visit. Would stay again!

This resort was super nice! Amazing view, the rooms were very big, bigger than we thought, the restaurant food was delicious, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. We wish we would have booked longer. We will definitely book and stay here next time and book for a week at least!

Beautiful hotel, and friendly staff. Location and views where awesome.

The staff are great and I liked my suite and the upper deck. There's a nice beach close by and the food I had was good. I'll return! :)

Good breakfast, wonderful views, hard bed,

Fabulous. Would highly recommend. Friendly staff, great views, and beautiful pool and bar area.

My stay at the Layan Hotel in Manuel Antonio was unforgettable! The service here is truly something special. One moment that stood out was when I asked if I could leave my wet clothes in my car, and the staff offered to keep them in the laundry room instead. To my surprise, when I went back to pick them up, they had taken it upon themselves to wash, dry, and fold everything—just as a kind gesture! It’s rare to experience that level of care.The views from the hotel are out of this world—easily the most beautiful in Manuel Antonio. If you’re coming, do yourself a favor and book an ocean-view room. It adds so much to the experience.I also loved how small and intimate the hotel feels. It’s cozy and peaceful, with everything conveniently close by. The pool, with its incredible ocean view and swim-up bar, was one of my favorite spots to relax.The hotel has just finished renovations, and you can tell they’ve put a lot of thought into making it a great place to stay. If you’re looking for somewhere with breathtaking views, exceptional service, and a relaxed vibe, this is the place to be!

Beautiful ocean views and nice spacious and clean rooms. We loved our stay here and which it was longer. The pool was closed and being renovated so they offered the neighboring hotels amenities instead which was great. The staff was very friendly and helpful in checking us in, booking tours, and making breakfast.

Wow!!!

We were not put into the room that we saw advertised online - be prepared for that and message the hotel before you book to make sure what you see is what you’re getting. It’s currently under renovation and certain rooms are much nicer than others.About 3/4 of the hotel seems to be renovated and is very nice. We were put into the 1/4 that is still yet to be renovated, and it showed. Dark hallways to the rooms only lit by motion lights, the smell of wet paint and paint stains were in the hallways, and drywall dust was still visible. For about $350 a night CAN we did not expect this.Room itself wasn’t terrible, had what you needed. But for the price, we were not happy. After 1 night of our 4 night stay, we asked to be switched into the room displayed online, and luckily they were available. The staff were very helpful and understanding with this.After this, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The pool and lounge area with the ocean view on the roof is very nice! Included breakfast is always a plus. The food and drink menu the rest of the day was all excellent.One other more minor complaint is that parking is very tricky in this location. They have a very small parking lot that doesn’t accommodate the amount of guests in the hotel. It’s a space issue and not much the hotel can do about that, but we had to park on the street a couple of times.I would stay here again if I knew the renovations were complete and was getting what I paid for the second time.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The staff were all kind and accommodating, and the front desk supervisor is a stand out- she is amazing! The restaurant and deck area by the pool have stunning views. I really enjoyed the wildlife around the property. Saw iguanas all over, had a coati on our balcony the first night, and one evening we saw white face monkeys climbing around the roof. Take any reviews from before summer 2024 with a grain of salt-this property is under new ownership, and they're currently working hard on updating the place while minimizing any inconvenience to guests. The new owner was wonderful to visit with and they were invested in making our stay exceptionally wonderful. As other reviews have stated, there is construction going on across the street- this wasn't a problem for us, we spent our day time hours exploring the area and the work was wrapped up long before we went to bed. There is a great beach within walking distance, but you will need a car for visiting Manuel Antonio. Front desk happily helped us with our reservation for Manuel Antonio and calling a cab. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it.

This hotel was one that we probably shouldn’t have booked… we were skeptical that it was in transition of ownership and seemed to have 2 names and 2 different websites. We were not given the room style that we booked. We were given a smaller space with less beds. We had construction next to us. A discarded toilet on the balcony was our first view when we arrived. The shower was filthy, the toilet clogged, the hot water wasn’t turned on in our room. Our last date discovered that we had robbed. 2 sets of AirPod pros were stolen from our room. Later discovered to be at an address of someone working construction at the hotel. Pool was not available and we were never informed that this would be an issue.

The property was amazing with beautiful views and very relaxing,  The room was soooooooo clean and the bed and pillows were extremely comfortable (this is always an issue, but not this time).  When they found out my husband and I were celebrating our 25th wedding aniversary they hurried to accomodate a present for us to enjoy and create memories together.  The restaurant was in a close by sister hotel and they took us back and forth in a golf cart.  Very enjoyable experiend.  Breakfast was included, and we were surprised of the amount of food and the variety. The buffet was a pleasant surprise. We could use the swiming pool at the hotel we were staying as well of the sister hotel where the restaurant was.  There was a short walk to a very secluded beach ( ap piece of paradise) I have been to the are of Manuel Antonio many many times before, but this experience was top of the topMeagan, the receptionist was an angel that assisted us with professionalism and kindness.

The view from this property is spectacular. At one time you can see that this was probably the premier hotel in Manuel Antonio. The price was great and the nightly rate does include an amazing breakfast buffet. However, please be aware that this property does need maintenance. Besides that I would recommend this hotel highly.

The property was gorgeous. The staff at Blue Mirador were very kind and helpful. The bartender did not show up at all the next day, which was very disappointing because we were in Manuel Antonio for only two days.  We however had the worst experience eating diner on both the nights at their partner restaurant—Shana by the beach. Blue Mirador does not have its own restaurant and so we had to go to Shana. The food was absolutely substandard and the wait staff were really rude. The one staff who served us both the nights, refused to give us regular water and insisted that we buy bottled water (which we principally don't in a place with clean water in order to avoid plastic waste). She was bursque and unsmiling throughout our interaction. On the first night I thought that maybe something was off—everyone can have a bad day. But the second night she behaved the same way, as if our presence was a bother. Addition to their behavior, I asked them for a seat by the balcony which was empty and they said they can't and gave some flimsy excuse. They also forgot to get me my drink.  I don't know if they treat all their guests the same way, but it was a really bad experience during a really beautiful stay.
