The best thing is that it is very close to the National Park. It serves a good breakfast although I’d change the juice for a natural juice, not from concentrate. I was there during a weekend so they had live music on Saturday which it was nice. The staff was very polite and helpful. The rooms are small but they are ok. The restaurant has a nice view, specially at sunset. Wear a repellent for mosquitoes everywhere you go.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Location is amazing, close to everything but tucked away enough to be a quiet relaxing stay. Yes the hill is a steep climb, but they offer a lift on the cart or you get a great glute workout. Breakfast was consistently great, best pancakes and gallo pinto. Dinner is also great. Staff are always super nice and helpful. We had more close encounters with wildlife on property than any park we toured. Sloths live on property and monkeys visit every morning. The view is AMAZING. We will be staying again

Great friendly and helpful staff. Amazing views and local wildlife and flowers. Great location, walk to restaurants, shops and Manuel Antonio National Park. Steep hill to the reception and rooms is a work out but no problem if taken steadily and reception provides golf cart rides as needed. Restaurant food very good too.

Great views from the hotel, pool was relaxing but iguanas get extremely close to guests even scratched another guest. Room was clean, but only charging outlet was in the bathroom or behind the fridge very inconvenient. Staff was not present at the front desk during staffed hours, we waited at least twenty minutes before a staff member would arrive and they do not offer refunds or accommodations to change booking dates.

Pros; monkeys in the morning, helpful staff, good breakfast, amazing views, good wifi, perfect location for walking to manuel antonio park. Cons: on a super steep hill, elevators are 3 person max, our bathroom couldve used some maintenance, the "king" bed rooms do NOT have king beds. They are queens turned sideways so our feet hung off the bed all night.

Good place to stay for all the right reasons; great location (very close) for walking to entrance of Manuel Antonio Park, quick walk to the beach, warm and friendly staff, excellent breakfasts. Room was clean, had everything you would need. Absolutely beautiful views of the ocean! Lots of restaurants close by. It was a fairly steep grade to walk up to the hotel but they had golf cart shuttles if needed. The only suggestion would be to have a few more pool umbrellas for shade as the sun is very hot! The hotel is showing some wear, but overall recommend this hotel.
