Los Altos Resort.

Perched on a lush, jungle-covered hillside in Manuel Antonio, Los Altos Resort stands out for its direct access to both a quiet coastal cove and a private biological reserve. The property eschews standard hotel rooms in favor of expansive, apartment-style suites and villas featuring kitchens, living areas, and Balinese-inspired decor; an adults-only section adds townhouses with private plunge pools. Daily life here centers around the ocean-view infinity pool, the open-air Karolas Restaurant, and the Orquidea Spa. While the resort feels like a secluded rainforest sanctuary complete with regular wildlife sightings, it remains remarkably convenient, sitting just a five-minute drive from the main entrance of Manuel Antonio National Park and the town of Quepos.
