La Vela Boutique Hotel  

On Costa Rica’s sun-soaked Pacific coast in Quepos, right by the ocean and a short walk from Espadilla Beach. Manuel Antonio National Park and Manuel Antonio Beach are minutes away, with La Culebra Waterfall also close by—perfect for beach and jungle days.

A small boutique-style hotel with about 20 individually decorated rooms. Rooms feature refrigerators/minibars, coffee or espresso makers, air conditioning, 42-inch TVs, safes and desks. Expect daily housekeeping, complimentary toiletries and an easygoing vibe—wildlife sightings (hello, monkeys) are common.

Outdoor pool with plenty of loungers and umbrellas, plus a terrace and garden for sea-breeze mornings. Poolside pizza restaurant and a bar/lounge for evening drinks. Concierge and tour desk, massage room, on-call doctor, laundry and luggage storage, gift shop/newsstand, roundtrip airport shuttle (surcharge) and free onsite self-parking.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi across the property and desks in rooms for light work. Safe-deposit boxes and luggage storage available.

La Vela’s poolside restaurant serves pizza with pool views and there’s a relaxed bar/lounge for cocktails. Complimentary self-serve breakfast is offered daily from 6:30–9:30 AM, and more than ten restaurants are within a five-minute walk for extra variety.
