Really enjoyed our family stay at this beautiful resort amongst Manuel Antonio's famous wildlife. We spotted monkeys, iguanas, sloths and many colourful birds right from the grounds, which the kids absolutely loved. Lots to keep a family of five happy. The multiple pools were large and clean, breakfast was amazing, and the free shuttle to Manuel Antonio town and the beach made getting around really easy. Staff were lovely throughout, rooms were comfortable and cool (a must in the April weather!), and it was always nice to come back to the resort after a busy (and hot) day out exploring. Highly recommend a stay at this unforgettable spot!

Beautiful property, like staying in amongst the rainforest. We took the night hike (extra$) and saw some cool stuff. The larger pools are family pools with 2 smaller ones for adults only. Food at the bar is expensive ($27 USD for a club sandwich) . They do 1 hour happy hour each night. Overall, the setting and resident sloths make it special.

The resort is paradise. We stayed in the Vista Suite overlooking the ocean. We saw many animals from our private terrace including daily morning sightings of the Capuchin monkeys frolicking by the swimming pool. On the grounds of the resort we saw macaws, variety of other parrots, sloths, and iguanas. The staff was incredible, very friendly and professional. The food in the restaurants was exceptional as was the service. Highly recommend this resort.

The restaurant food was okay, walking anywhere off property requires stamina (quite steep), but other than that, you’d be hard pressed to find a nicer place with nicer staff. Stunning, classy, and comfortable. Beautiful property in one of the most beautiful places in the world.
