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.

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.

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
