Hotel Planeta Sano

A Hidden Gem! What an incredible find! This hotel is truly a hidden gem, tucked away in a peaceful spot with stunning views of the ocean and unforgettable sunsets. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with a beautiful pool area that’s perfect for lounging. Oscar took great care of us throughout our stay and made some of the best drinks we’ve had on vacation. The service was consistently friendly and genuine. It’s also very affordable, with easy access to nearby restaurants, shops, and the beach. Whether you’re looking to explore or just unwind, this place has it all. Can’t wait to come back!

The entry to this hotel is on an unpaved, one-lane road off the main road. Be careful of the blind turn off/on the main road. Once on the dirt road, there’s signs for the hotel, but no arrows to say which way to go! A GPS is helpful here. The hotel has a main building with all the rooms and a villa down the hill. We rented the villa. Check-in was fast and friendly. We were given welcome drinks of fresh watermelon juice. They have water and coffee available 24/7 at the main entrance. The villa was spacious, clean, quiet, and comfortable. They came in and cleaned the villa every day. We had 3 separate A/C units to keep the unit cool. The wifi was free and fast. We had plenty of hot (or at least very warm) water for back to back showers. The covered porch was a nice retreat, although it only has one lounge chair. The kitchen has a fridge/freezer and stove/oven. We had plenty of pots and pans to cook on the stove, but no oven mits or baking pans. We needed to go to the front desk to get a lighter to start the stove and oven. There was a sponge and dish soap, but no dish towel or drying rack. There was coffee and sugar, but no oil or spices for cooking. We really enjoyed the use of the pool. The water was clean and warm. Breakfast was included and was filling and delicious. It included rice and beans, eggs, sausages, fried plantains, pancakes (some mornings), fresh fruit, cereal, toast, coffee, juice (a different one each morning). They gave us a ticket for pool/beach towels. When we were finished with the towels. It was easy to exchange them back for the ticket again. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Even the staff who didn’t speak English always had a smile and a “Buenos Dios” for us. I recommend a car for this location. It’s quite a hike to the Main Street / bus stop. We really enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend it. I’d book this location again

The hotel is charming, the rooms are spacious, colonial style, coffee and cold water are available all day. The pool is perfect to chill after a day at the national park. Monkeys can be seen early in the morning. The staff is extremely nice and accommodating, they went out of their way to make us feel welcome and help us get our tickets to the park. The view is beautiful and the hotel is far from the road so quiet!

The setting was beautiful, with a fabulous biew over the ocean. Sunrises and sunsets were amazing.

Our stay at Hotel Planeta Sano was amazing! A big thanks for the staff who made us feel right at home! Their kindness and attention ensured that our experience was unforgettable. The location is very convenient, just halfway between Quepos and Manuel Antonio, both accessible by public bus which stops just a few minutes walk away from the hotel. Our room was spacious, comfortable and clean, with a gorgeous view. The shared areas well maintained and the pool is great for a refreshing dip after a long day of hiking. The breakfast was tasty and filling, and everything else we tried at the restaurant/bar was delicious too.
