Family Savings Spotlight: How Our Kids Stay Free Policy Cuts Vacation Costs
Planning a Costa Rica getaway with little ones doesn’t have to stretch your budget. At Boutique Hotel Las Cascadas in Manuel Antonio–Quepos, our Kids Stay Free policy lets you save on the biggest trip expense: lodging. Two children aged 8 or under stay free when using existing beds in a parent or guardian’s room. Pair that with family-friendly amenities and smart booking strategies, and you’ll see how easy it is to keep costs in check while staying steps from Marina Pez Vela and a short drive from Manuel Antonio National Park.
What “Kids Stay Free” Means at Boutique Hotel Las Cascadas
Our Kids Stay Free policy is designed to remove stress from family trip planning and free up your budget for more memory‑making adventures.

How the Kids Stay Free policy cuts real costs
Every family trip includes a few fixed expenses—airfare, ground transport, food, and lodging. Our policy directly lowers the lodging line item for families traveling with young children.
- Eliminate the need for a second room: With two kids 8 or under staying free in your room (using existing beds), many families can comfortably share a single accommodation.
- Avoid add-on guest fees: When your little ones qualify under Kids Stay Free, you won’t incur the per‑night, per‑person fee that applies to additional guests beyond double occupancy.
- Flexible sleep options: Free cribs help you skip baby-gear rentals, and optional rollaway beds are available for USD 30 per night if you need them.
- Breakfast savings, daily: Complimentary breakfast is served every morning from 7:30 AM to 9:30 AM—an easy way to start the day without extra restaurant spend.
- Smart snacking on-site: A convenient grocery/convenience store on the property lets you stock up on snacks and essentials at value-friendly prices.
