GAIA Hotel & Reserve

Luxury Hotel Review in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica

— May 14, 2007 — World
GAIA Hotel is an uber luxury escape that combines an eco-reserve with ultra chic european design.

Perched on a hill overlooking the ocean, Gaia stands gleaming in the hot sunlight amidst a lowland coastal forest full with magnificent wildlife. Gaia is a luxury adult only boutique 5 star hotel that truly allows you to relax in a tropical environment, but with all the comforts of home.

Gaia, a member of the “Small Luxury Hotels of the World” has 17 rooms that range from studios to 2000 square ft two bedroom villas with private rooftop reflection pools. The stylish rooms feature king size beds with 500 thread count linens, LCD flat screen TV units, Jacuzzis, slate bathrooms, Italian fittings, internet access, terraces and much more.

Gaia features a gorgeous open air restaurant called La Luna that serves a wide range of great international food. There is nothing better than overlooking the pacific coastline and surrounding rain forest while enjoying absolutely tantalizing food at sunset. Breakfast is included with your room rate and can be served in your room so you can eat on your own terrace or balcony. Room service is also available 24/7.

The on-site spa, Terra spa boasts numerous health and beauty treatments such as massage therapies, body wraps, scrubs, salon services, and a fitness center with yoga and dance classes. Relax while you look out at the lush and exotic rain forest that is part of their reserve.
