..:: Hotel CASA BLANCA de Manuel Antonio S.A.

Our Hotel features a unique panoramic view overlooking the National Park
Manuel Antonio comforted by a steady refreshing breeze from the ocean.

The beach and National Park can be reached easily on foot or bus (ca. 15 minutes walking to the beach or a 10 minute bus ride to the entrance of the National Park). Various national and international restaurants, bars, cafes, gift shops are located only a short walk away in the direct neigborhood of our hotel.

We can be easily reached by public transport from the capital San José and local Quepos town. An express bus line (called "Manuel Antonio Directo") connects the capital with the Manuel Antonio National Park several times per day taking about 3.5 hours to complete the journey. A local Bus connects Quepos town with the National Park many times per day. Both bus services stop at a bus stop located at the front gate of our hotel.

Two national airlines (Sansa and NatureAir/Travelair) connect the international Juan Santamaria Airport in San José with the local Quepos airfield (a 20 minute flight). Both airlines provide at small extra fee transportation from the Quepos airfield to our hotel and provide a bus service from our hotel to the airfield, too.

Of course guests can also rent a car at one of various national and international car rental services at Juan Santamaria International Airport/San José. Driving time from San José to our hotel depends on weather conditions and takes an average of 3 to 4 hours. Several rent-a-car companies also have local offices.
