Costa Rica Luxury Boutique Hotel Wins TripAdvisor Awards

The 25-guestroom boutique hotel in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica was chosen as a "Best for Romance" and "Best Luxury" Hotel by TripAdvisor® in its 2009 Travelers' Choice® awards. Now in its seventh year, the TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice awards honor the world's best hotels, earning their distinction from those who know them best – real travelers.

Unlike any other hotel awards programs in the world, TripAdvisor® Travelers' Choice® winners are based on the millions of real and unbiased reviews and opinions about hotels on tripadvisor.com™ and content from across the web.

"TripAdvisor travelers always appreciate great values, and 2009 is certainly no exception. The 2009 Travelers' Choice awards highlight more bargain properties than ever before with 190, nearly five times as many as last year," said Michele Perry, vice president of global communications for TripAdvisor. "Millions of real travelers worldwide have helped identify these outstanding hotels, recognized for their exceptional accommodations, service, and value."

La Mansion Inn also received the "Pure Decadence Award" from the prestigious Elite Traveler Magazine (www.elite-traveler.com) headquartered in New York City for offering one of "The World's Lushest Suites".

"La Mansion Inn is extremely honored to earn these significant awards from one of the most respected names in the industry," stated Harry Bodaan, proprietor of the resort. "The fact that we are able to achieve this in such a competitive environment, speaks volumes of the world-class facilities and amenities we provide.

As an indication of its unrelenting success, La Mansion Inn will be unveiling its new East Wing in March 2009, which will officially add four more Deluxe Rooms, two Honeymoon Suites, an Open Air Sky Lounge with 360-degree view and a gym and billiard room to its inventory.

Located mountainside in picturesque Manuel Antonio, in Central Pacific Costa Rica, the 25-guestroom boutique hotel was built as a luxury private residence, assuring the utmost personal attention. The resort boasts magnificent views of the Pacific Ocean, Manuel Antonio Park and surrounding jungle. The resort is the ideal destination for adventure travelers and honeymooners, and its certified wedding coordinator and planner makes it the perfect venue for destination weddings.
