Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff at the hotel was amazing - so helpful and friendly. Our rooms were cleaned daily with a different little animal made from towels each day. The pool was warm and clean, and we watched the monkeys play in the trees and toucans and macaws fly around. Walkable to the beach, many restaurants, shops, and Manuel Antonio national park. I would definitely stay there again

Great location, a short walking to the beautiful Playa Espadilla beach, to the National Park and to restaurants. Great outdoor garden with fun sitting options around the pool and near the rooms. They also sent us very important tips before arrivals. A fun place to stay.

Great place to stay

We checked in around 8:00 p.m. and Dillan was very friendly and welcoming. The staff went out of their way to help us with tour trips. The motel is a couple blocks from the beach and a couple of blocks from Manuel Antonio. The rooms were clean, the breakfast was delicious, and the staff was great. There were monkeys and iguanas that would visit everyday.

We believed we had booked in their main hotel but were put in their nearby sister inferior hotel. It is difficult to tell from the site which hotel your room is booked in but there is a significant difference in them.
