Si Como No Resort, Spa & Wildlife Refuge

Si Como No was an incredible resort to stay at: we stayed as friends in a Honeymoon suite, and it was amazing... outside on the balcony we saw monkeys, frogs, sloths, and macaws, and the view of the ocean was jaw-dropping. The jacuzzi was great for stargazing, and the room spacious, especially with a full kitchen (although we didn't use it). All the staff were so kind and accommodating, and really took the time to get to know us. Enjoyed the pools, hot tubs and bars. Great options at breakfast. Would highly recommend.

We just returned from our stay at Si Como No, and it truly exceeded every expectation.||From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. Every single staff member — from the front desk to housekeeping, waitstaff, and guides — made us feel genuinely known and cared for. Staff knew us by name, were aware of our tour schedule, remembered our food and drink preferences, and were always quick to help with anything we needed, from spotting wildlife on the property to offering great local recommendations.||What really set this hotel apart was the warmth and authenticity of the team. We loved chatting with staff, learning about them, and hearing more about Costa Rica. Every interaction felt personal, sincere, and joyful — not scripted.||The property itself is beautiful and impeccably maintained. The grounds are stunning, and seeing animals woven naturally into the experience made it even more special. Every part of our stay felt thoughtful and perfectly executed.||We want to specifically recognize Sheyla, Aaron, and Alexander, who stood out to us — but honestly, everyone was incredible. The consistency across the entire team is rare and impressive.||We have traveled extensively all over the world, and without hesitation, this was the best customer service we have ever received. We would enthusiastically recommend Si Como No to anyone traveling to Costa Rica and cannot wait to return.

We had the best time at Si Como No! It was such a unique and unforgettable experience. The photos I shared are of a couple of animals because that’s exactly why we came! 😂 And we lucked out immediately. Shortly after checking in, capuchin monkeys were running around near the lobby, and a gorgeous toucan spent time in the tree right outside the back door of our room. Waking up to the sound of howler monkeys at sunrise was incredible! Between that and the views, we were so immersed in nature. The resort is simple but amazing, super comfortable, and perfectly located close to Manuel Antonio. We also really enjoyed the happy hour out there restaurant! I loved that there was no TV in the room because it encouraged us to truly unplug and enjoy the wildlife around us. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the whole stay felt relaxed and special. Highly recommend if you love nature, animals, and a one-of-a-kind Costa Rica experience. We’d absolutely stay here again.

Firstly, the views are absolutely incredible — everywhere you look. One of the highlights was the amount of wildlife you can see directly from the hotel, from lizards to macaws and toucans. It really was an amazing experience.||The staff were wonderful and genuinely friendly throughout our stay. A special shout-out to Dylan, who gave us loads of helpful tips for our trip. A nice touch was being able to refill water bottles at reception.||When we arrived, we had a complimentary bottle of red wine waiting in our room. The staff kindly swapped the red for white without any issue, which we really appreciated.||Breakfast offered plenty of variety and was tasty, with lots of fresh fruit available each morning.||We did pay quite a lot to stay here, and I think part of that is due to the beautiful location. That said, there were a few small things worth mentioning. The “adult pool” wasn’t adults-only during our stay, as there were children using it throughout. Rico Tico restaurant was closed for renovation, which we weren’t informed of prior to arrival. This didn’t affect our stay too much as we ate at the other restaurant a few times instead — the food there was fine.||The room itself was slightly dated, but not in a way that impacted our stay, especially as we didn’t spend much time in it. The bed was very comfortable and we slept really well — waking up to the sound of howler monkeys in the morning was a unique experience. There’s no TV in the rooms, which we actually loved, as it encourages you to fully immerse yourself in nature. WiFi from our room was a bit intermittent.||Happy hour runs from 2–4pm with a good variety of drinks available!||I’d highly recommend the zip-lining across the road — we had such a fun afternoon. There are also some lovely walks nearby, but I’d suggest doing them early in the morning as it gets very hot by around 11am.||We stayed for six nights and had a very enjoyable, relaxing stay overall. The location is great, and there’s a free shuttle to the beach (I believe the last return is around 4pm), though it’s easy and inexpensive to get an Uber back if you miss it.

Just wow. The service, the view, the sounds... It was just like being in the rainforest but with all the comforts of a hotel. We awoke every morning to the sounds of the forest all around us which was just magical. On our first day we had toucans on the tree outside our room and maccaws flying over head. The staff were so attentive and helpful. We really enjoyed the trips they organised too. Special shout out to Heiner on the front desk and Marco at the pool bar for really going above and beyond at every opportunity and really making our trip special. Pura Vida!

We went to Si Como for our honeymoon. It was the most beautiful hotel, with stunning views from the whole of the hotel. Our bedroom had a wonderful balcony, where in the morning we sat out with a coffee and watch the wildlife. We saw as much wildlife in the hotel as we did in the national park!! The staff are super friendly, and the restaurant is great also. Would highly recommend. Wish we stayed longer!

Beautiful, relaxing setting with pools and restaurants on site. The room had a gret balcony with comfortable seating. Our view overlooked the lush refuge and out to the ocean. Quiet and peaceful while also being nearby shops, restaurants, and basic groceries. We had a lovely time at Si Como No. Their staff is welcoming and helped to make our stay easy and relaxing.
