Karahe Beach Hotel

Nice hotel

I almost hate to review this property because I love it so much. The KEY is to reserve a room in the white building on the ocean side of the road. This last time we were in the building above the road, where there's a lot of road noise and the air conditioning didn't work right (there was water literally pooling on the floor). The second night we moved down the hill to the white building and were very happy. The amazing thing about this hotel is it's right on the best part of Espadilla beach and there are lovely gardens and mature trees, so I've seen sloths and monkeys just on the grounds. The restaurant overlooks the beach and they have tables and chairs on the beach. It's an older hotel, so a little worn around the edges, but that's why they have such a prime location. About a 30 min walk down the beach to the entrance to Manuel Antonio National Park. It's quieter than the crush of hotels that are right by the park. Staff at the hotel are very nice and helpful! Still our first choice for Manuel Antonio.

An amazing boutique beach hotel with a pool and restaurant. Can’t wait to return to this beautiful place.

Quite nice hotel in close proximity to the beach, but way too expencive for the level of quality. Our room was decent and with a small balcony with a view of the garden. Garden is quite nice and had lots of cool animals living in it. Like monkeys, iguanas and anolis. Room was clean with nice temperature on arrival. Bathroom was not to big, but had a very nice shower. Small pool area witch was also perfectly fine. The biggest week point of this hotel is the restaurant. Location and feel of the restaurant is absolutely amazing. Right on the beach with beautiful view. But the food and drink quality is shookingly poor and the prices are insane. Quality and price is by far the biggest miss match I experienced in Costa Rica. And it's a shame. Quality food and cocktails in this location would be absolutely perfect.!! Also the breakfast was served in this restaurant at the beach and was not that much more impressive. Eggs scrambled to death and no orange jucie, but a mixed soft drink with orange flavor. Rice and beans were the highlight of the breakfast and that was decent. So perfectly fine hotel with a restaurant that dosent service it justice.

This is a fantastic place. The only thing to mention is the service at the restaurant was not adequate (too slow, not friendly and not responsive).

Not the greatest experience. Hospitality isn't great and service everywhere is very slow. Took an hour to get some Nachos for dinner and there were hardly any one at the restaurant eating. Check in is easy but our room was at the top of the stairs and luckily we had small bags because it wasn't an issue for us but if you have large bags, good luck! They don't offer any help either. Wifi is terrible and didn't reach our room. We had to work and it was too hot to sit outside and work so don't count on wifi in the room. Good things: Nice beach access and the room we stayed in had an incredible view! I would not come back here for the price. Maybe everything in Costa Rica is expensive, I am not sure as this was our first time, but for the money, was not worth it. Amazing Airbnb down the street next to the park gate that is 3 minute walk to the beach and 5 minutes to the front gate entrance. 100% recommend that instead!

The staff was excellent, I had a lovely clean room. There was plenty of options for food nearby which they also had dining onsite.

Easy beach access. They allow the parking, pool, amenities and beach access even after checkout time.

Hotle was okay old construction but location was great, right next to the beach. Food was not ao great but there drinks were wonderful. Highly recommended crazy monkey colada.
