Close your eyes and listen to the lulling sounds of the waves and feel the ocean breeze and warm tropical sun against your skin as you begin your phenomenal vacation in the enchanting Manuel Antonio. There are a number of activities in the area that will enrich your vacation experience. Visit the Manuel Antonio National Park where you can watch the monkeys playing in the canopy above and follow beautiful walking trails up into the forest and onto pristine beaches. Also scuba dive or snorkel the stunning Pacific waters that are rich in marine life, or venture out into the open waters on a deep sea fishing excursion.
Built as a luxurious private residence, and located only a short drive or hike from the beautiful beach, La Mansion Inn is a small boutique hotel that satisfies even the most discriminating tastes. There’s a patio with a barbecue, an infinity swimming pool with Jacuzzi, and roof-top Sky Lounge with 360 degree views of the ocean, National Park, and surrounding forest. Unique to Costa Rica, there is also an underground Cave Bar, carved from ancient natural rock formations, which is quite the interesting treat. You can sip on a specialty cocktail and enjoy the sounds of the in-cave waterfall. Truly spectacular!
The suites and rooms are anything but “standard”. All accommodations are air conditioned and have bathrooms, a television, in-room telephone, outside sitting area and desks. Every room has sliding glass doors which open to incredible views of the Pacific Ocean and surrounding jungle. The Presidential Suite is an award winning accommodation lavishly furnished with an in-room Jacuzzi featuring 24-carat gold faucets. The two decadent Penthouse Suites a top the West Wing of La Mansion Inn, both afford stunning views of the Pacific, and are designed with fine furnishings from Sarchi, crystal chandeliers and topped off with a phenomenal private sundeck. Brand new, as of July 2009, the recent addition of two more Penthouses follow suit. Both are perfectly situated, capturing not only postcard views of the Pacific, but also the spanning rainforest which blankets the hills as they slope inland towards the mountains. Rooms are spacious – including closet and balcony space – and in tune with the down-to-earth elegance and classic tones of La Mansion Inn. The Penthouses and Presidential Suites include breakfast, lunch and drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) until 7 pm with your stay.
