Issimo Suites Boutique Hotel is a perfect, adults only getaway when you come to Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica. The hotel is situated in a quiet area overlooking the Pacific Ocean, where you can relax in luxury and rejuvenate yourself.
Issimo is a family run and operated hotel offering you a choice of twelve suites, each with a different gorgeous view. The Master Suites have an incredible view of the ocean as does The Junior Suites. The Junior Suites also include a breathtaking rainforest view. The Penthouse Suite has an elegant balcony as well as glass walls for you to enjoy a 180 degree view of the ocean. The Honeymoon Suite and the Chalet have two floors with the bedroom on the second level and the living area on the main level. The suites are spacious and beautifully decorated, all with a unique touch.
To complement the suites, you will be amused and entertained by the wildlife of the rainforest: the majestic Macaws, toucans, and many other birds will sing for your pleasure while the titis, capuchin, and howler monkeys will call to let you know they are nearby.
There is nothing better than relaxing by the pool on the new patio overlooking the mesmerizing ocean after a hard day of trekking through Manuel Antonio National Park or enjoying one of many adventure tours. To enhance this experience, sip on one of the special drinks and snack on one of the savory foods from the menu offered on the terraza. My favorite poolside snack is Mussels a Bilbao served with a splitz. After swimming, tanning, and relaxing, there is nothing better than enjoying time at the spa before heading out for an evening.
If you plan to dine in, be aware that looking at the extensive Mediterranean menu and making a choice can be difficult because you will want it all! I personally recommend a nice caprese salad and a lovely Italian white wine to start a decadent meal while watching the mesmerizing sunset over the ocean. Another personal favorite is the house special, Tuna Chipotle, a delectable grilled tuna steak with chipotle, citrus sauce. Other favorites are spaghetti with white, mushroom sauce or lamb with herbs in olive oil, which is hard to find in Costa Rica. The lamb is perfectly seared and just melts in your mouth! To end a perfect meal, the house chocolate cake or lava cake with vanilla ice cream is ideal. Bon Apetito!
The staff focuses on ensuring their patrons enjoy a perfect holiday. The concierge will book all the tours and sports activities and the kitchen staff create decadent cuisine while the wait staff offers a high level of service. As you are considering vacationing in Manuel Antonio and want to be pampered like a royal for a day, week, or longer, come to Issimo Suites Boutique Hotel and Spa for an unforgettable experience.
