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

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

Lots of monkeys and only place with any kind of nightlife in area. Relaxing and interesting place 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

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

What an amazing vacation we had in Costa Rica and the staff at Byblos had everything to do with why we loved it so much! After a long flight we arrived to a very clean room with champagne (our anniversary) and the cutest towel art. The hotel is situated in the jungle complete with monkeys, sloths and exotic birds. We... More
