My best friend of 28 years and I set off for an extreme adventure in Costa Rica a few weeks ago-it was the time of my life, even though I encountered a few bumps in the trip. Byblos was one of those few bumps. When we left our fabulous resort in La Fortuna-expected fabulosity...but what we found at Byblos was... More

This is a really cool little place. only about 16 units in the whole complex. It sits on a small creek with monkeys and birds right outside your door. Nice little walkways through out the place. and Good restaurant right next door. More

I was recently at the Hotel Bylos in Costa Rica for 4 nights. I stayed in a bungalow which was absolutely perfect! Nestled in the trees, with a private covered deck, decorated nicely with a very comfortable bed, hot water that ran consistently. There was a safe for my personal items, a mini-fridge / coffee-maker. I mention the fridge and... More

The gardens and setting for this hotel are really nice, but the rooms aren't the best. The beds were a bit hard and the air conditioner was noisy. We were on the 3rd floor so had ocean views, but also had noise from the road -- trucks, buses and cars. These rooms are also close to the pub -- they... More

Great bungalow with lots of wildlife around. Very clean. Hearty breakfasts with something new every morning. The staff was friendly and helpful. Great prices for a nice place to stay, too! We would highly recommend this place to our friends and we will be back. More

Recently spent a few hours at the poolside. Anyone can go in, you don't have to be a guest to swim and have a drink or lunch. The waiters are so........slow! Almost 1/2 hour to get a glass of Imperial delivered to poolside. Pizza was average but sitting watching the monkeys perform and cool off was worth the visit. I... More

Thank you for joining us for lunch and monkey watching at Byblos, and for recommending a visit to our pool-side restaurant. A ½ hour wait for a beer is unacceptable, and not to our normal service standards by any means. We will definitely look into why this happened, and take steps to improve our service. I hope you will contact... More

On our recent trip to Manuel Antonio (April 6-10), we stayed our first night at Byblos Resort (this was a last-minute booking because our plans changed and we couldn't extend our 3-night stay elsewhere). We arrived by car after dark on Good Friday. The staff was friendly and helpful at check-in. Our room was cool and clean (save for the... More

Thank you for your comments, we appreciate you taking the time out of your busy day. Our standard deluxe rooms contain two American queen-size beds, and are generally considered spacious. The actual area is 35.5 square meters, or 382 square feet. One of the greatest asset of our setting is the abundance of wildlife. The overwhelming majority of our guests... More

Overall we were very happy with our stay here. It is definitely "in the jungle" and feels like it. Nice amenities. The pool gets some sun. Good food at breakfast (they even let you pick off of a menu rather than a buffet). Many animals around the hotel, even watched a family of monkeys playing by the pool for hours.... More

Dear Valued Traveler, Our sincerest apologies regarding the bats that disturbed your stay. We are constantly encouraging them to move elsewhere, but it is one of the downfalls of living deeply in the jungle...nature can be a challenge at times! It is our #1 priority that guests get a good night’s sleep though, so we refuse to give up! Did... More

The hotel presents nice premises surrounded by nature but to be honest the place is a lot smaller than it looks in pictures (pool area, restaurant, etc.) Rooms are perfectly clean and ordered but again, they do not look like the photos shown in its website. I am not saying they are uncomfortable, but they are way overpriced (I stayed... More
