After a long day of canopy tours and riding horses down Manuel Antonio Beach you are probably going to be pretty sore, so make sure and schedule a massage in our Spa. We offer special discounts for hotel guests on all of our massages and other treatments.
White water rafting is a must for anyone that is looking for a bit of an adrenaline rush while visiting Costa Rica. Even if you have never been rafting before there are many tour companies that offer rafting tours for beginners. The raft tour usually stops half way through the river and you can get out and check out some waterfalls, stretch your legs and eat some snacks that they provide. You will see all kinds of birds, butterflies and plants along the ride that your guide will point out and tell you a little bit about.
Make sure if you are down here in Manuel Antonio today you check out the party scene over at Barba Roja. There is live music, great food and plenty of people to socialize with. If you have any early morning commitments I recommend you cancel them because its going to be a late night full of fun.
The Elephant beetle is one of many beetles that belong the the scarab family. They live mostly in Central and South America, so keep a look out for them while you travel around Costa Rica. This particular Elephant beetle was spotted on one of the plants in our lobby. Once the guests spotted him everyone had to get a picture of this guy to show their friends back home. It is a completely harmless and slow beetle that just likes to hangout while eating its favorite food pineapple.
The Scarlet Macaw is one of the most majestic creatures you can hope to run into during your travels around Costa Rica. Due to people poaching the Macaw for its exotic feathers the population has decreased, but can still be found in the Peninsula De Osa, the Carara National Park and other more jungled areas of Costa Rica. Now that the Scarlet Macaw is a protected bird there are many groups working on increasing their population back to its former glory. In the future you will be able to see these birds flying all over Costa Rica.
Every one of our hotel rooms has a large two person jacuzzi tub for you and your loved one to soak in while while watching a beautiful sunset happen over the Pacific ocean. After a long day of zipping around the jungle on a canopy tour there is nothing more relaxing them coming back to your room and spending the rest of the night in a jacuzzi tub while getting massaged by the power jets. It has been proven that soaking in a hot water tub before sleep will help your body transition into a more deep sleep, so soak away and get a good night sleep because you never know what kind of adventure awaits you the following day.
Costa Rica is home to about 1,251 different types of beautiful and exotic butterflies. You can see butterflies all year round, but during the rainy season they are allot more common. If you are interesting in seeing some of the more exotic and rare butterflies make sure you take some time to visit a butterfly farm. There is a wonderful butterfly farm located right in Manuel Antonio that gives you a guided tour of their butterflies and just tells you just about everything you never knew about butterflies.
Manuel Antonio Beach is full of artisans of every kind that congregate from all over the country to sell their creations. They setup their booths along the beach so that after you are done getting your daily dose of sun and sand you can pick up souvenirs for all your family and friends without the hassle of going into town. If you are interested in saving a few bucks always remember to haggle with the seller over the prices, just mentioning that you want a discount usually gets them to drop the price right away with no hassle. Spend time looking at all the shops and who knows what kind of treasures you can find to take home with you.
