The location of the hotel was great. Very close to Manuel Antonio park, with gorgeous views of the ocean. The property amenities were wonderful. However, the rooms although spacious and clean were in need of remodeling.

This resort is beautiful!! All the staff members were very professional and very respectful! My fiancé and I had a great time! The beach is a little difficult to get to and the walks are a little steep, but it is definitely worth it as they have Kevin that drives you back-and-forth. Gracias Kevin por ser muy amable y una buena experiencia. Te vemos para la próxima vez.!
