The hotel has a great view of the ocean if you are staying at one of the top 2 levels. One of the island gives a golden reflection during the sunrise. It's a 5 minute walk to the Manual Antonio's entrance (make sure you make a reservation online to get in the park) and the beach. Goto the park early and you will the entire beach to yourself. Recommend going to Espadilla Beach during the sunset for dinner and drinks.

These containers are stacked on top of a very steep hill. If you want an ocean view, make sure you get the top 2 levels or you will be looking at roof tops. The hotel provides guest with golf carts to shuttle them from reception (bottom of the hill) to the second deck / parking location (top of the hill) or you can walk and take elevators. Don't get into the elevator if there are 3 people already in it!!! Or it will get stuck and you will get trapped. We got stuck in there (4 of us) and it was embarrassing :)

Fabulous place to stay, right by the national park and beach with 2 wonderful pools, great views and surrounded by nature. Loads of monkeys, birds, iguanas and deer. Be warned that the views come at the price of a steep climb, although there is a lift for part of the way.

The restaurant closed on Monday and early in the evenings. Whilst it was nice to have the buggy service to get up and down the hill they weren’t very reliable.

This hotel is very well located for those who want to visit the park, located just a few steps away, but also for exploring the beach, which is approximately 5 to 8 minutes away on foot. The rooms have an interesting layout and all have views of the sea and the forest that surrounds the hotel, with a refrigerator, complimentary coffee, safe and the bathroom is functional and spacious with everything working properly (hot water, pressure, lights and air conditioning). The hotel is located on a hill and has 2 sections, one lower and one upper. Obviously the upper rooms have a privileged view of the panorama. Breakfast is simple but well proposed and served on a beautiful panoramic terrace. The staff is friendly and professional, always attentive and willing to help and provide information. They have a very welcome parking lot for guests, since it is difficult to park cars on the street. At night in this hotel it is possible to hear a unique symphony of nature noises coming from the park in which it is immersed. I recommend it to anyone who likes to connect with nature and the "pura vida" without giving up genuine comfort.

I didn't think it was bad, but it is a point of attention, as the hotel is on a steep hill and to access the rooms and services from the street, you have to go up (and down). In any case, the hotel has a golf cart, driven by staff, and whenever possible they help you go up, down and carry your bags if necessary.

Beautiful area, nice people and wonderful staff. Iguanas everywhere! Even a local iguana named Juanito! He was my favorite. Beautiful view. Great food. Monkeys around at sunset! Great location for tourists and right next to national park and beach! Awesome for surfers/cruisers.

The smell was a bit off in the rooms but I think it may have been the cleaning stuff they used. Or the chlorine. The way up to the hotel was a bit tiring so it would be hard for those who aren’t very active to walk up all those stairs, but usually they have golf carts and valet to drive you up, they assist in helping with luggage as well! Again, awesome staff. The pool could have been pressure washed/a bit cleaner, but it is deep and fun to swim in. overall great stay.

Breakfast great and stunning views across park and out to see. Golf cart lifts up the hill. Proximity to restaurants and national park. Could leave car there. Sun beds around pool good. Close to beach.

Location was perfect and property included free parking onsite. Staff were very helpful and attentive. Free breakfast was also delicious. We saw spider monkeys and howler monkeys right outside our room in the trees! Incredible experience.

Hill was very steep go go up to building. There was a parking lot by reception at bottom of the hill and another at the top pf the hill closer to buildings but we never found parking at this lot. Regardless, staff were more than willing to drive us up the steep hill in the golf cart if we needed help. Best staff at this property! Pura vida

This is an excellent option for staying next to the Manuel Antonio national park. The facilities are clean and the set up fun (being from containers). Family loved the swimming pool. The breakfast which is included was excellent (and lots of places I found charge extra for breakfast). I was particularly attracted by the monkeys and had the joy of seeing them clamber around one morning - didn’t do it every morning (which for me and the family was a shame). Saw lots of iguanas too and some pretty birds. Staff friendly and shuttle trolley up the hill came in handy however for those that struggle with hills the hotel may be a challenge. I didn’t enjoy the restaurant as it was very expensive for what you got but I felt the same about the restaurants generally in Manuel Antonio. However it is easy to go into the hills by public bus and we had an excellent meal at the butterfly cafe.

I had a good stay at this hotel. The staff were very helpful and attentive and answered all my questions. The room was a little dated but it did everything I needed it to, and the view from the balcony was incredible. The room has an interesting layout with two double beds - I think a sofa may have been more useful than a second double bed, but I was barely inside the room anyway. The lower pool was never very busy so no issues with access to sunbeds etc. There are some restaurants nearby but it's quite a quiet area once the park closes and most restaurants are more or less closed by 9pm.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, from answering our questions to helping us book trips. The location was excellent for access to the national park and the beach. Just a short bus ride to Quepos, with stops at local places along the way. Great views from the pool and restaurant. Lots of wildlife to be seen from the hotel, sloths, monkeys, birds.

If you are going on an early morning activity, make sure to give yourselves plenty of time for breakfast. It is very busy at the restaurant and they need more staff to serve quickly.

This hotel is situated very close to the lavish beach of Manuel Antonio, as well as the National Park. Surrounded by restaurants and stores it has everything you might need aside of lying on the beach the whole day. The property is spectacular, it has two separate buildings, connected by the restaurant and the upper pool. Transport is possible via elevators, or golf cars can be requested to get picked up on the way of the steep hill. Our room was in the corner on the top floor of the building in the back, with a gorgeous view to the ocean (sunset, hello), even to our own cloudforrest to the side. The room was clean and well-lit, had some kitchen applieances, AC and fans, even a safe. The bed was comfy and huge. The bathroom was modern and stylish. The room had a small table and 2 chairs at the door as well. The breakfast was decent, you can choose from multiple options, coffee refilled. The stuff was extremely helpful and supportive. Parking was possible on the property.

We were having some monkey problem. White-faced capuchins were roaming around, bashing the roof loudly whenever they had the urge for that, luckily only during daylight. Did not feel safe to open any doors or left anything (drying swimwears) outside unattended. As for the city, not the hotel itself: be aware of the National Park scammers, dressing as park officials (fake uniforms), they try making you park for a fee even a mile away from the official (and FREE) parking lot, then threatening to cancel your park ticket if declining, quite aggressively, Reddit has a lot of subs about it.
