LAYAN Hotel & Spa

We booked the Superior Room with an ocean view, but when we checked in, we were given one of the oldest, non-renovated rooms. It technically had an ocean view, but it mostly looked out over the hotel’s parking lot. The bathroom also had some mold. We asked to switch rooms and thankfully the staff was able to move us to another room with an ocean view, and in a little better condition than the first one. It felt like the hotel is in the middle of renovations, and honestly, parts of it seemed like they shouldn’t be open to guests right now. That said, the views are beautiful, and the beach is only a 10-minute walk away though keep in mind it’s uphill coming back. We liked the location and the scenery, but the hotel itself could use some serious updates.

Excellent location, spectacular ocean view, very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was great. Fresh tropical juices and fruits like mango, guava would be great additions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay !!!

La habitación 301-302 son inadecuadas para personas mayores u para su servicio “PET friendly” cobran una tarifa de $30 por día por la mascota y las condiciones son inadecuadas. Demasiadas escaleras y gradas y pasillos oscuros para llegar a la habitación.

Un lugar que da tranquilidad y mucha calma, excelente servicio. Personal con amabilidad y generando un espacio familiar.

Great view and location. Family trip was awesome.

We really enjoyed this stay! The staff is so friendly and accommodating! It has the most beautiful view and great drinks and food! Our room was very comfortable and we enjoyed the cleaning service daily. High recommend!

We stayed at the Layan Hotel and Spa for 3 nights. We found it to be clean and safe. The pool was great and the bartenders Roy and Justine were amazing. The entire was staff were friendly and professional. Be warned that the parking lot is very small. There are 25 rooms and only 11 or 12 parking spots available so be prepared to possibly park in a small lot for 3 cars at the base of the driveway. Even with the parking situation I would recommend Layan Hotel and Spa if you are looking for a great location, beautiful views, clean and safe facilities and a great staff.

The hotel is very open which does mean that animals and bugs wander in. We did not mind because we came to see the wildlife but some people may not want that. The hotel seems to be in mid repair, there are some things that are broken and the elevator didn't work. The views are amazing. You can't beat watching toucans fly past your balcony. Breakfast and lunch were great. Dinner at the hotel is expensive and there weren't any kid friendly options so we only ate dinner once at the hotel. The beds were hard and very creaky. A/C worked great. Pool is very nice. The staff were super friendly and helpful with answering questions and booking tours for us. It's a short walk down to Biesanz beach which was good for swimming, or a quick drive to Manuel Anotonio park and beach.

I loved staying at the Layan. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff, especially Allison and Megan, were very helpful and friendly. The staff at the restaurant were always friendly. The pool and view were glorious. The room did have a refrigerator and a coffee maker even though those were not listed in the description. I would stay there again. I did wish for more choices on the dinner menu.

They have good service. It's close to a nice beach, within walking distance.

Gorgeous view! The servers were warm and so friendly. Our only complaints were the construction noise, some small issues with our room (eg curtains didn’t shut, doors opened randomly), and the lack of elevators (lots of stairs - probably would not recommend for mobility-challenged folks). However, we had a relaxing time and would definitely consider staying here again!

This property is absolutely amazing. But the staff truly made it. Highly recommend coming here for the views from the pool decks. Amazing 360• views! And Angelo truly made the experience. A amazing cocktails, drinks and the food was great as well! Highly recommend!!!

Super friendly staff and amazing view!

We had a great time. This is an boutique hotel, not a big chain. Maybe 25 rooms total. This is also an older hotel getting some renovations and upgrades. The place is nice and has an amazing view. The food was great, the drinks were cold, the staff was friendly and wonderful, the price was very reasonable, the room was spacious and very comfortable. There are some things that they are working on that need attention. Like, we stayed on the top floor and at times the shower would just stop. Not enough water pressure during high demand. The hot tub had issues with the jets not working. Small things, not deal breakers, but don't expect the Ritz, this is not that.

Good

We were so fortunate to select this hotel, it is simply one of the best places we have every experienced. The hotel has an ideal location as it is situated on one of the highest hilltops affording spectacular panoramic views of Manuel Antonio. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful without exception. Don’t be fooled by other places to stay; their photos cherry pick the best view. Layan clearly has the best location in the area.

My stay at the hotel was disappointing. The maintenance needed in the room, its not worth the amount of money you pay for. The beds,Toliet and outlets are loose. The bed squeaks with every movement made through out the night. They are doing construction across the street and will have you up at 6am. The staff was great and being abel to have a water available for guest for free. Just need make sure rooms are well before given. If you want to sleep and relax I don't recommend it.

Beautiful property with super friendly staff and amazing well equipped rooms. The views are probably the most incredible part of the stay! Enjoy!!

I had an excellent time at Layan hotel. The staff was courteous and helpful. Food was excellent. The view of the ocean from the restaurant and my balcony was beautiful. I even had a monkey come visit. Would stay again!
