Los Altos Beach Resort & Spa

Los Altos Beach Resort & Spa

Los Altos Beach Resort & Spa sits three kilometers from Quepos, its eight floors holding just 26 rooms, so guests share the infinity pool and jungle trails with far fewer strangers than a typical Manuel Antonio address. At low tide, the private beach cove reveals stone turtle traps left by earlier communities, reached by a short hike or the resort's own shuttle down through the rainforest. The property belongs to Small Luxury Hotels of the World, a collection of just 550 independently run hotels across 90 countries personally vetted for character, and that membership shows in details: a spa set into the garden tier below the pool, a doctor on call, and penthouses that run past 4,800 square feet with ocean views and private kitchens for guests who would rather have a chef cook in-room than walk to a restaurant. Karola's serves the resort's own tables with ocean views and alfresco seating, and breakfast runs from 6:30 to 10 each morning. This suits travelers who want the rainforest and the Pacific within the same short walk, and who don't mind paying for that combination in scale rather than square footage of public space. Families spreading across the extra-large townhouse will find room for ten adults and six children, but anyone chasing a lively pool scene or late-night bar crowd will find the 26 rooms too quiet for that. Wi-Fi, parking, and airport transfers are all handled, and pets stay home. Check-in from 3pm, check-out by 11am.
