Property has some age on it but is well maintained. Don’t expect a five star hotel here but it’s clean and the staff aims to please. Restaurant food is very good and priced right. Bartender knows her way around and can make you just about anything you order. It’s just minutes from Manual Antonio National Park.

The location was great! The pool was beautiful. The staff was friendly. The guys that drove the golf cart to take you to and from your room were great! the rooms were straight up the mountain. Very steep path or 80 steps! We enjoyed the very limited free breakfast with the monkeys running along the power. The food was average. The room was nice. The bed mattress was horrible. Wash cloths were not provided. Coffee was not supplied. 2.50 for a 3 cup pouch at reception. Was it nice? Yes. Would I stay again? No

The staff was extremely accommodating and friendly. Breakfast was fresh and a la carte every morning. There is a bus stop directly in front of the hotel that takes you up and down from Quepos to Manuel Antonio.

Everything in this property was great, starting from the staff and service, everyone really friendly, they got us to the tours that we wanted to do and explained everything. The location is super convenient you can either take a taxi wherever you are going or take the city bus that it is so inexpensive and secure right outside of the door of the their restaurant and it will take you to the downtown of Quepos that is 5 mins away or to Manuel Antonio that is 10 mins away. While in the pool you have the opportunity to see Lapa birds and Titi Monkeys.

Property is very old. It is what could be expected in a country like Costa Rica, but the photos send a different vibe. The rooms are exposed to a main road with lots of 24/7 traffic which means sleep interruption. I would not reconsider staying there again. Its a shame because this could be a great location due to all the wildlife that gathers around it.

Not a place of peace and quiet

This hotel is about 6km up the road from Manuel Antonio Park, on a busy road, which is very noisy, from 5am late into the night - cars, motorbikes, and engine brakes. There is also an insight restaurant which plays it up evening, and on the last night, a live band played loud enough to shake my bed, until mid night. If this is your thing, then it is a lot of fun, if you are looking for peace and quiet, this is absolutely not the place to stay. The room was very small, which a double bed and desk which basically took all the space. Breakfast was a mediocre affair, and the lady there spoke no English, so be prepared for a language barrier if you don’t speak Spanish. She was friendly, however. The pool was nothing special - it reminded me of what you might get at a Super 8. This place was the 4th of 5 places I stayed at in Costa Rica, and the most disappointing,

The economy rooms are a nightmare. Located in the back of the hotel, they are a far walk and require the golf carts that come up to reverse, which makes a squealing noise which woke me up several times. Additionally, the beds were painful to sleep in (this goes for the economy rooms and the room they upgraded me to [for free, so I appreciate that] but those beds were terrible) The location is good and the staff is very nice, but until the beds are improved I would not stay here.

Great service in a tropical paradise

We were very much looking forward to our stay but a turned ankle delayed our arrival by a day. It took several phone calls (not easy since I didn't have cellular coverage consistently) but we were able to switch our reservation with the help of the very friendly and capable staff. The property is between Quepos and Manuel Antonio, and contrary to what is listed on the What's Around section of the hotel description, it is not a 10 minute walk to Manuel Antonio National Park. It is a 10+ minute cab ride or a 20 minute bus ride. Not sure what is meant by the statement that it is in a national park, but it is not in Manuel Antonio National Park. The other walking times also seem to represent cab times as all the things listed were a good distance away. Walkable, but not in the times listed (My daughter and I are both fast walkers). The description also mentioned a resident sloth, but that wasn't true anymore. We were visited one day at breakfast by a hungry group of monkeys that had their eyes on my breakfast and the other day by an equally hungry and cheeky pair of parrots. Great entertainment! The service at breakfast was great and they serve a nice "typical" although a bit stingy on the fruit. Our room was acceptable, but very small and the beds very squeaky. Not sure if the tv actually worked, but it didn't seem to. We weren't there to watch tv so I never asked. The security cart beeping during the night was also an annoyance when trying to sleep.

I lucked out at daybreak and saw a Agouti feeding on the lawn. (Wow!!). Francisco made me feel like I was at the Four Seasons with his attention to every detail or need. The entire staff was like Francisco. I cannot say enough kind words about my 3 nights there. And central to everything n Quepos and Manuel Antonio. 5 stars!!

The prople working there were very kind and engaging (i find that to be very common in Costa Rica). The property was quaint. They are not very good at setting up activities. We had them arrange two and they were not great. A lot of the issue was due to a lack of specific communication. If you are going to stay here make sure you have managed activities yourself.

I did need an eye mask, though, for the numbers that were glowing so brightly off the air conditioner all night. We also enjoyed the restaurant on the property--good breakfasts and nice to have a close option after a day of adventuring. Easy, easy access to the bus that runs between Manuel Antonio and Quepos.

Great find in Manuel Antonio

We loved this hotel. It has a beautiful garden where we saw Iguana's, Tucans and even a Jesus Christ lizard. The pool is spotlessly clean and was great to use because the weather was warm and humid.The restaurant is excellent and the food very reasonably priced. We really enjoyed the 2 for 1 drinks during Happy Hour - the bartenders were very friendly and made great drinks. While this hotel is a few kilometers from the town center, you can catch a bus right outside the hotel which will take you to the public beach & National Park for 350 Colones (60 cents). But most of all we liked the wonderful service from the staff - Andres, Georcy, Shean Carlo and Sissy were truly exceptional and made our stay most memorable. There were only a couple of things that we would like to see improved 1. the main light in the bedroom was dim (but bathroom very well lit 2. The wifi in our room was weak (but was decent in the verandah outside) 3. You had to buy the coffee for the coffee maker in the room But overall this is a great place & excellent value for your money! We will stay there again.

Perfect Little Beach Hotel

We were changing hotels to get out of Quepos and the Tabulia Tree came to the rescue. Cece, Andres and Gorce were perfect hosts, providing the hospitality we were looking for. They were friendly and helpful to all guests. This little gem of a hotel is on the road to Manuel Antonio Park. It's build on a hill so it has beautiful views. - especially if you're willing to walk all the way to the top. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The hotel pool was perfect for cooling off at the end of the day. The hotel has it's own restaurant where you get a complimentary breakfast - They also have delicious blackberry milkshakes. The hotel grounds have lots of wildlife including frogs, lizards and iguanas of all sorts. There are also capuchin and squirrel monkeys that visit the hotel grounds almost everyday. Our biggest regret is that we didn't move to this hotel sooner! Do yourself a favor and book a room today.

Good Location between Quepos and Manuel Antonio. Bus stop right there if you are using public transportation. Airport shuttle service is available during limited hours. Contact the property in advance to get details. I left at 7:30 am and still had to pay for a cab. FYI. Room was clean and amenities were nice. They provide beach towels daily! Breakfast was simple but good (coffee, fruits, and a egg and meat choices) and got us on our way. Overall good stay for the price.

This hotel is like staying in a really nice treehouse. It was clean and the service is top notch. We saw two giant iguanas on the property and toucans outside our room. The location was good because it was in the middle of the hill near other restaurants and only about 10 min drive to Manuel Antonio forest. The only thing negative was that the WiFi was spotty.

Rustic and charming, decent location.

Overall I’ve enjoyed my stay. The rooms are a little rundown but so cute! There were lots of little dead bugs around and a bit of dust which showed that a once over could have been done before we got there but it still felt pretty clean. You have to buy the coffee for the coffee maker at reception but it’s pretty good. I’d say it’s a little overpriced, and wifi is really spotty , but still would recommend it for sure. It’s a steep climb but the staff are really friendly and always willing to give you a ride up.

Nice Hotel!

The room was comfortable and the full staff was super nice and helpful. The rooms can be a bit noisy at night due to the wildlife (lizards) that live in the area. We would hear constant crawling on the roof during the night but nothing too loud that would keep us up. We would definitely return if we're in the area.

We arrived to this hotel, slightly up the hill from Quepos built beautifully surrounded by dense Costa Rican Flora. Excellent service, clean rooms with strong water pressure and effective air conditioning ( takes a little bit for the airconditiomer to kick in because of the heat and humidity ). Lots of eating places and other hotels near by. We went to Issimo, it's sister hotel to celebrate our first night in Costa Rica, live music and gourmet food. Had continental breakfast every day and Costa Rican dinner one night at Tabulia Tree. Lots of Iguanas sightings at the hotel but did not see any monkeys. Swimming pool is up the elevation with a gorgeous view of the beach with a cocktail bar. Lots of beaches and marina within a short driving distance.

Close to Manuel Antonio

The room itself was great and close to the National Park we were visiting. The only downside is that the room did not have a mini-fridge so we couldn't keep any cold water, especially since it is so hot in this country.

Great hotel in a beautiful lush garden setting

Hotel is located on top of a winding road in a lush garden setting. We were a family of four vegetarians and enjoyed the freshly prepared breakfast with fruits, rice, beans, plantain and toast. We liked our morning walks and also easy access to the beach by car. Extremely friendly staff; very helpful with making local tour arrangements. Our children enjoyed the nice pool. Great experience overall.

Good time !

Overall we really liked this hotel. It's close to manuel antonio and is in quepos. It was really clean, room was spacious, pool area was really nice and we got to see a lot of wildlife. My only complaint is with the wifi, there was no wifi in the rooms, only in the common areas which would've been fine but half the time it would not work. Would stay again as we all really enjoyed it despite the wifi not working all the time!

Beautiful hotel between Quepos and Manuel Antonio

We arrived, checked in and were greeted with mango juices! We had a gentleman drive us and our luggage in a golf cart to a second level Seems like they are responding to all the ridiculous complaints about there being stairs and having to "walk up a hill"... It is hardly anything as it IS built on a mountain side we were surprised with how easy it was given the negative feedback. Everyone was very pleasant, the waitress for breakfast was singing along to her pop music and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Our room was a little it small but we liked that the price included breakfast and a pool!

Good proximity to Manuel Antonio

Hotel was close to Manuel Antonio Park, but in a nice quiet area. Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. If you can't manage stairs, this is not the hotel for you. Our room was up at the top of a big hill with lots of stairs to access it; no parking near rooms. Hotel is a bit older, but rooms are nice and spacious.

Nice hotel friendly staff

Tabulia is built on a hill, so there is some incline to the hotel but most of Manual Antonio is hilly. They have a golf cart for those of you who don't want walk up hill. Staff super nice. Grounds well maintained. If your like me and have to stay connected the in room wifi is not good. So you may have to hang out in the restraunt if you need to get some work done.

The staff were welcoming and kind. The hotel grounds were lovely. Breakfast was delicious, and we loved the "Typical" with eggs cooked to order. We had a pleasant stay. I have read some of the other recent reviews and find them to be unfair and a reflection of entitled American behavior. If you are differently abled, this place may not be the most convenient for you, as it is situated on a hill. Our only complaint was that a younger staff member had the music at an uncomfortably loud level while we were alone in the restaurant eating an early dinner. We asked for a lower volume and another staff member obliged.

This hotel was great in every way! The rooms were nice, fresh and clean. The grounds were beautiful and we even had a family of 50 spider monkeys join us in the morning one day. The pool was beautiful and we enjoyed a nice sunset swim which was gorgeous. I would definitely recommend this hotel!!

Tabulia Tree Hotel and Villas

Sticky hot water. Had to keep the bathroom door shut. Our room was fatherest even the hotel had many vacancies, and next rooms were in construction, so noisy from earlier in a day through out the day. It is located on the hillside so it is good walk ups. Not recommend to seniors.

You can see sloths on the hotel facilities

We arrived on a late evening, at checking we find out that our room does not have a small refrigerator, when requested one, were told that none of the rooms had one. The hotel is located on a beautiful hill, the staff at the checking desk ask the security guard to help us pull our luggage up a steep cement hill which was very slippery, our room was the second to the last on top of the hill. We found out the next day that there were also stairs, at least these were not slippery, thank God, I was ready to check-out, the hill was very slippery and scary. Almost to the end of our stay, one of the doors of a room close to ours was openned and we saw not only a refrigerator but also a kitchenaid. Why did they lie? We offered to pay the difference, this was dissapointing since it would have been nice to have a cold drink specially after doing such a hike to our room. The steep hill was clean only after I complaint about it being very slippery the next day. This hotel is not for anyone out of shape or have trouble walking or going up a hill/stairs. There was only one waiter in the hotel restaurant who gave great service and was very helpful, if you asked, on letting you know what places are best to see and when.

A nice vacation stay in Manuel Antonio away from the hustle closer to the park. The gardens/grounds were lush and well taken care of. The hotel was close to the beach. Food in the restaurant was very good and service was great. The pool was quite refreshing and had a great view of the beach.

Totally worth it!

We booked here as a bit of a respite from the cheap hostels we'd been staying in across the country. Within ten minutes of arriving, we saw a docile iguana come down the beautifully landscaped path leading to hotel reception--it was fantastic! The staff us amazing. Everyone was extremely helpful. Oliver speaks perfect English and is always available and eager to answer questions. Gloria doesn't speak English, but with my modest language abilities, she helped us arrange laundry service, which is normally not offered through the hotel, but she talked to the maid for us. Alexander served us breakfast in the mornings, and I truly never could ask for a sweeter and more accommodating waiter. And the morning breakfast was great! Coffee--excellent! AC in the room, safe available, beach towels I loan Dsily for no extra charge, and comfortable bed. Finally, it was close enough to MA to be convenient, but far enough away to be a quiet retreat from all the tourists. Overall, I was very, very pleased.

Affordable and basic property.

The hotel itself has the basic needs for your stay. Note that you are not paying for a high set of amenities but the basic ones. Standard rooms are small, yet they are equipped with A/C, TV and hot water (shower). Wi-Fi only available at the repection/restaurant. Nice and clean pool. Distance/steps to the rooms may be an issue to some travelers, keep in mind you will need to walk 80-100 feet to where the standard rooms are located. It may be a longer distance to "suites" and pool.

This hotel was pretty good

The experience was overall good. When we first arrived the staff put us in a room that we didn't originally pay for. It was an uncomfortable situation trying to clarify this. I payed for the standard room and got another type which I didn't like very much because there were 2 rooms; one had the air conditioner and the other a tiny fan. So one room was hot while the other was freezing. Non of the rooms provide a refrigerator as we expected except the Tiki rooms which are more expensive duplex types. The walk up the hill didn't bother us. THis was part of the 'experience'. After my persistent questioning about the room I should have received the staff kindly changed our room to the tiki room without charging us more. This was very nice and we were happy. Great balcony, very roomy with a big fridge. The breakfast was very good. I was hoping for pancakes every morning for the kids the rest was good.

Spring Vacation

The hotel is nice, the service was super, the only thing I can say is that the bathroom does not have enough ventilation. needs a microwave. Everything else was fine for us. location, service ahhh the hotel is still going through some changes so I think it will get better and better, I will come back definitely I just hope they make those 2 changes... the hotel rooms where all the way up but we had no problem with it. Thank you Tabullia and to all the people who made our staying a nice vacation. they will help us with the tours I did not need to booked them ahead of time.. very pleasant environment!
