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.

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.

The location was perfect, a short distance to the park and the beach. However, my room was located above the kitchen area, so the patio smelled like food cooking all day. Still, it was perfect for exploring the area.

The dining was decent, but it wasn't very exciting and was the same every day. However, it was complete, with eggs, fruits, and yogurt. I found the pastries to be delicious.

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.

The dining experience offers enough options, but may feel repetitive after a few days. It would have been better if they started breakfast service earlier. Freshly baked croissants are a highlight.
