Great location for the Park.

The thing that I like the most about this hotel is that it is not a big place. The staff is very friendly. And clean and the air conditioning works very good.

Liked: Staff & service
The hotel is less than a block from the park entrance - which is good and also very noisy/touristy/traffic jams. The hotel is very dated, damp, paper-thin walls. The staff is nice; ok free breakfast. Fine to stay for a night or two. The beach is walking distance but not the best; the beach in the park is great but need to plan the ticket/timed entry, etc.

The breakfast was good. The location was perfect, just outside the park. The room was quite run down. Walls and ceiling not insulated making it extremely hot in the room until well after sundown. Ac unit was not big enough to cool the room.

4/10 Poor

This hotel is a great place to stay if you want to walk to the beach through the alley/cut through or walk to the national park at Manuel Antonio. There are also a handful of restaurants and a mini market that is within walking distance. The limited parking actually is limited at seven spots to approximately ten hotel rooms. So if you don't have a parking spot, you have to park in a neighboring lot, what where you pay a man, ten dollars a day and they parked the cars tandem, so you might be blocked in. Once a car actually left the millennium hotels parking lot. My husband parked our rental there and we left it and we were limited to restaurants and stores within walking distance

Great hotel in an outstanding location next to park, restaurants, and supermarket. Very short walk to beach and bus to Quepos. Room was clean and quiet and the staff was excellent. The close proximity to park and beach made for a great visit to Manuel Antonio. The professionalism of the staff means that we will come back again

What an awesome hotel, it feels like a community! The staff, above and beyond! The location, steps from the national park. We are a gay couple and felt so invited here, like we were family. Highly recommend to anyone traveling to this area!

How can you stay in business!

I don't even know where to start: Over priced, the staff is not friendly, breakfast is terrible. The worst of all is that they charged me twice and would not give me a refund.

This is a hostel. The description does not mention that. Couldn’t sleep all night with all the noise! The water pressure in the shower was awful. There were so many bugs in the pool. There are 3 parking spots and no sign with name of hotel. Arrived at night and it was impossible to find.

At check-in, they tried to add $210 for our children. I showed them our Expedia reservation for 5 and they dismissed it. I refused to pay the extra. The clerk let us check in for the original amount and said I could talk to his manager that afternoon and then the next morning and then the next afternoon. I called Expedia, confirmed our reservation, made a case and passed the number onto the clerk to give to his manager. I didn't hear anything after that. They took my passport at check in. No other place did this, so when I checked out, I didn't think to ask and they didn't give it back. I realized two days later and had to go back to pick it up. The space is nice, if you don't mind waking-up to Howler Monkeys at 5 in the morning, which I didn't mind at all:)! It all worked out, but not my favorite place.

Enkelt men bra hotell!

Fräscha rum och toa. God frukost som man får i en närliggande restaurang med bra valmöjligheter! Liten enkel pool, perfekt för att ta ett snabbt dopp efter havet. Väldigt nära både havet och nationalparken, så mycket bra beläget.

Excellent location, excellent service.

The staff was absolutely excellent: super friendly and informative, very accommodating to our needs (traveling with kids). The property is just a few yards from the entrance to Manuel Antonio National Park, albeit on a very busy street. But this wasn't an issue during the not-so-busy tourist season (June). The beach is just 200 yards away. Breakfast buffet was good. Overall, a great, highly recommendable place!!
