Loved the cockpit cottage so much. Very roomy, clean, cozy, great view, great patio and awesome bathroom. Just loved it. Great end to our Costa Rica trip. 💓💓💓

The first impressions were breathtaking. My normally somewhat stoic wife teared up just looking at the view. It was a perfect place to make home base while we made day trips all week. I definitely recommend renting a car to get around while you stay there for any extended period of time. Can't wait to come back.

Great place to stay in Manuel Antonio. We saw monkeys every morning. Great views of the ocean. If you’re an aviation fan, also so cool to be staying in a converted 727 fuselage.

Do not hesitate to book this amazing place! Close to everything at the resort, clean, and magical! Monkeys visited us every morning on the balcony. It was amazing!

We loved staying in the Cockpit Cottage! It felt very private and immersed in nature. We saw monkeys and toucans right off our balcony. The private soaking tub on the balcony was also a great touch. The pool and restaurant are very conveniently located, and it's a 5 minute drive to the beach/Manuel Antonio national park. I wish we could have stayed longer!

If you have the opportunity to stay here, do yourself a favor and do it! You have the sounds of the ocean right off your balcony. The cockpit cottage is such a unique and cool experience. The Manuel Antonio area is beautiful and filled with many wonderful restaurants, this is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been.

The cockpit cottage can't be beaten - a unique spot nestled high in the canopy. The staff were fantastic and the space was magical. A wonderful stay!

Staying in the cockpit cottage was a unique and wonderful experience. It is close to everything and puts you right in the middle of the animal action. Staff were all helpful - especially those in the anaconda for morning breakfast.

I wish I could have stayed longer. It was cost prohibitive. But the room was perfect, the view was amazing, and it was very private. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was so fun to use because it felt like you were outside with the screened in shower. I would definitely stay here again!

We stayed in the Cockpit Cottage, and it truly exceeded our expectations. It was very clean, very quiet, and beautiful woodwork. We spent every morning having breakfast on the patio which had a spectacular view. We were a little disappointed that we didn't see any sloths lingering outside, but it certainly did not spoil our trip. The people at the front office were so helpful and friendly, especially Marcella, she is super nice and always cheerful. We enjoy walking, so we walked to the national park, which was about a half hour walk. The pools at the resort never seemed over crowded, and we would always see monkeys hanging around. It was an absolutely wonderful stay.

The view of the ocean from the balcony was breathtaking. This unique stay was definitely worth the price!

Loved staying in this old airplane. Views of Manuel Antonio National Park are phenomenal. Swinging bridge entrance to this private airplane takes it over the top. Being on a hotel property was convenient for the pool and deck for the best sunset views. Pretty stellar place to stay in Costa Rica!

Crazy beautiful location, capuchin monkeys became our coffee buddies on the deck in the morning. Restaurants were all killer, and employees were all super friendly and helpful!! Stay here and enjoy life!

We stayed 4 nights at Costa Verde, and it was a complete treat. The first 2 night were in the Cockpit Cottage, and then we moved to an apartment in CVII. Really glad we did both, as they were equally fantastic in different ways. The staff were fabulous - they couldn't be more friendly and helpful. And the location so near the beach was great. I'd recommend this place to anyone, and would love to go back!
5.0
Highly recommend. Faith was great and flexible on checkin time which really helped us. Close to the park, but wildlife better around the plane to be honest!
5.0
Amazing is best way to describe this beautiful and unique stay
From the moment we arrived Marce our front desk hostess greater us to our final goodbye everything was perfect
You have to experience the cockpit cottage to appreciate
Private that you feel you and the monkeys are only inhabitants of the area yet only a few steps to pool with amazing view and 4 with the best food and staff
Everyone is so friendly and helpful
Short distance to beach and National park
I hope I may someday be able to come back
5.0
This is an absolute must when in the area! The uniqueness of the accommodations and comfort level where unprecedented. Couple that with the access to pool, ability to walk to many restaurants and even walk to the national park if you are up to it (about 1 mile, easy walk). We received a great recommendation for a driver to get us to and from the property from Faith. The catamaran excursion that was recommended to us was also one of the best we have been on. Highly recommend this experience.

This was a joy to stay in such a unique and naturally beautiful place. We enjoyed spending time on the balcony drinking coffee and eating breakfast, while enjoying the view of the jungle & ocean. I was amazed to see all of the animals in their natural habitats while we enjoyed our jungle paradise.

This was one of three places my husband and myself stayed at in Manuel Antonio and was probably our favorite! Nothing like this room compares to the unique experience you get when staying in the cockpit. Trying to capture the view by pictures isn’t something easy, you just need to see the view for yourself. Not only was it very comfortable and private, every normal amenity of a room is available in the cockpit. If I really had to nitpick on things missing i’d ask for a full length mirror in the cockpit since the only one is in the bathroom. But really, that’s only due to the fact I didn’t want to dry my hair in the non AC bathroom (outdoor and fully screened though!) That experience by the way was awesome and again didn’t feel like our privacy was composed at all.The property that this is at is also very nice, didn’t get to enjoy all it offered because we only stayed for two nights and we had a full schedule with other day/night time events. But we did get to do a short walk one morning of the property and the cockpit has a neat path just off the walkway bridge that you can only access from the cockpit cottage. Like I mentioned before this was one of three places we stayed and it also gave us the most wildlife experience right from the balcony of all properties. We got to see howler monkeys, Capuchin monkeys, toucans, bats and much more!Other great features were: Great WiFi, clean comfortable bed, small little kitchen with a microwave, full size fridge/freezer that had a nice refillable water container so you can have filtered cold water and not have to buy bottled a two burner stove is also available and a TV.100% would stay again and would recommended

If you're on the fence about booking this place, just book it. You won't be sorry. We just stayed 5 nights at the cottage and loved everything about it. The location is perfectly located in Manuel Antonio but feels like you're in the middle of nowhere. The views from patio absolutely can't be beat. You're in middle of the jungle so the wildlife is everywhere around you. The A/C and the indoor and outdoor ceiling fans are a nice touch. Such a great experience.

We enjoyed your wonderful place for our anniversary. Faith was only able to get us one night in the cockpit cottage but she was so helpful in arranging a beautiful room on the same property for our remaining nights. Both places were extremely well done, clean, private and with unbelievable views. Upon our arrival a family of capuchin monkeys greeted us at our door in the rainforest canopy. I doubt we will ever experience anything as amazing. The staff was helpful as well. Thank you!

Such a unique travel experience! We saw toucans, monkeys, macaws....all from the beautiful balcony!

This is the best place we’ve ever stayed. So unique, it sits up off the ground and the monkeys pass through all around you and sometimes stop and visit right on the porch. Forget manual Antonio park, you will see far more wildlife right here. Also the view is spectacular. The staff here also goes out of their way to make sure your stay is the best ever.
5.0
A very cool place to stay. We had a sloth right out side our cockpit room. Monkeys visited us while we were on the deck. Most beautiful view. Great location.
