Reviews and Ratings
I had a truly delightful stay at this hotel. The beautiful surroundings with tropical trees and wildlife were a huge plus. The comfy bed in the room was fantastic, but initial issues weren't fully compensated for. However, the serene verandah made up for it. The location couldn't have been better, just a short walk to both the beach and the national park.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were a little noisy at night due to the air conditioning fans outside our room, but they faced the inside garden, providing a sense of space. The service was top-notch, especially with amenities like luggage storage and beach towels even after check-out. However, the dining options were not exceptional despite a pleasant atmosphere. The location was excellent, right between the entrance to Manuel Antonio and the beach, offering a convenient stay.
My stay at the hotel was an absolute delight. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated with a simplistic touch. The service was exceptional, with helpful staff offering luggage storage and even assisting us in arranging activities. The location was superb, just a stone's throw away from Manuel Antonio National Park and the beach. The dining experience was satisfactory, with a decent selection of items. Overall, a wonderful choice with excellent value for money.
The hotel was like an oasis from the somewhat crazy beach strip. My room was prepared quickly for my early arrival and was impressively clean, though slightly small. Overall, the rooms were very comfortable and clean.
This hotel was a gem! The rooms were modern, clean, and extremely comfy with a good bed. The service was outstanding, going beyond expectations to make my stay memorable. The location couldn't have been better, just a short walk to both the beach and the park. The dining experience was good, with a nice selection of food. A fantastic stay overall, but could improve on some dining variety.
The hotel offers a small refrigerator and free coffee in the rooms, but the WiFi could be better considering the room price charged. The rooms, although new, lack proper ventilation leading to a slight moldy smell, common in Costa Rican buildings with corrugated tin roofs.
