We stayed at Plaza Yara for 3 nights. The room was spacious, clean and well maintained. The staff were excellent and provided great recommendations for the dinner and even where to watch the NFL semi final game. There were squirrel monkeys playing by the pool and 2 macaws. The hotel is close to both Queopos and Manuel Antonio. There isn't much within walking distance and it is a busy road so getting out of parking was challenging at times, but the staff helped with that when needed also. They really were committed to making our stay enjoyable.

We stayed at Hotel Plaza Yara for 2 nights. We loved this property. The hotel staff were all so friendly and helpful. They gave us great recommendations for restaurants near by. We swam in the pool and had the free breakfast each morning which was our best breakfast on our whole Costa Rica trip. Amazing portions and service. Rooms are very spacious and clean. Felt like a home away from home. Highly recommend staying here. :)

This is a cute boutique hotel with a great location. It is close to restaurants along with Manuel Antonio. It was clean and also had a great balcony where you can hear monkeys and even see them in the morning. The breakfast is very yummy and staff is very pleasant. I would stay here again!

The good: Beautiful! Saw an agouti from the patio! Everyone was friendly, and we even received a small painting as a souvenir of our stay. The not so good: The hotel isn’t within easy walking distance to restaurants, and the beds aren’t the most comfortable.

Perfection! My room was beautiful and clean. While I didn’t use it, the pools looked great. The back patio off of my room was a great place to relax when I had downtime from activities. What really made my stay at Yara and in Quepos memorable, were the two gentlemen who work reception. They helped me book my tour for the national park and order pizza on a rainy night when I didn’t want to leave the hotel and just made everything so easy for me. I also can’t forget to mention Carl. The cutest little French Bulldog who helps watch over reception and the gallery, he absolutely stole my heart. I feel lucky to have gotten such a great experience for my first time in Quepos.
