Axel's take: 7.0/10
Friendly service and handy buses make up for some tired basics. A simple 3-star hotel on Manuel Antonio’s main road, scored for what it is.
Divisamar is a simple 3-star hotel on Manuel Antonio’s main road: a practical base rather than a polished resort. We’d consider it for an unpretentious stay with restaurants and shops nearby and a beach bus stopping outside. Tripadvisor and Booking.com guests repeatedly praise the helpful staff, including reviews from 2026. Air-conditioned rooms with refrigerators, an outdoor pool and included breakfast cover the essentials.
The trade-off is uneven upkeep. Booking.com and Expedia guests describe dated rooms and bathrooms, and unreliable hot water appears across sites despite the hotel advertising it. Cleanliness earns plenty of praise, but maintenance and breakfast feedback are less consistent. We’d skip it if dependable showers, freshly updated rooms or being directly on the beach matter more than friendly service and convenient transport.
