We liked the vastness of the property. It clearly is one of the largest hotels in Manuel Antonio. We felt secluded in the adult area of the property but also at any moment were able to access any area easily via free shuttle within the property or just plain walking.

The uphill climb. Just don’t do it. Also, the lighting is dimmer because of their use of bottles as shades. This does reduce light considerably. Ladies make note for any makeup routine.

Beautiful view, lovely room. Great facilities, look forward to visiting again. Nice people, plenty to do without car. One of our new favorites. Good food close by. The E area Adult Pool is spectacular. Monkees, toucans, iguanas and sloths abound.

Door auto lock / room key issue. Must plug key into air conditioning for it to work. If you walk out the door to sit on the patio, the door automatically locks and we were locked out. The neighbor called management, but they would not help, we had to get in the neighbors car, drive down to the office (our gate was locked) to get a key. It may be better to offer two keys and tell the guests that the doors are auto lock.

The wildlife at the hotel is incredible! We saw capuchin, howler, and squirrel monkeys, as well as a sloth that came all the way down to the ground—right on the property. The hotel is also ideally located near Manuel Antonio National Park and the beach.

Breakfast is not included, and all the on-site restaurants are quite expensive and cater mostly to tourists, which makes the overall cost-benefit less appealing. The resort is divided into different zones, but a main road runs through the property. If you plan to walk to the beach, be prepared for a steep uphill climb on the way back. The swimming pools are small, and pool towels are not provided.

We stayed in the adult area that was really peaceful and had wonderful views. The room was comfortable and spacious. The staff were helpful, the free shuttle to their restaurants was helpful as the hills are very steep. The adult area is peaceful though the pool gets full around late afternoon. I would recommend the restaurant a few minutes walk called La Terrezza the food is excellent and the ambience is modern so a refreshing change from Costa Verde. Having a kitchennette is really handy, and you can also order food from their restaurants which is very handy The jungle surrounding it is wonderful, we saw sloths right outside our room and the monkeys are such fun to watch

It is a bit dated and the decor has so much of the wood in every part of the huge complex and restaurants it gets a bit OTT. The food is ok but nothing amazing (pizzas are very good though). And across the three restaurants the menus are quite similar so it gets a bit dull. And as others mention it's very steep to get to the beach

Unique character to this hotel, with whole or partial aircraft in amongst the tropical vegetation. The adult-only pool and decking has a unique and exceptional vista with views across the coast all the way to Manuel Antonio National Park. This is a truly exceptional location, where we spent many an afternoon hour sipping excellent freshly made fruit smoothies from the bar and watching the never ending display of wildlife (be it an entertaining troop of squirrel monkeys, orange chinned parakeets or even Scarlet Macaws flying past). Note that children have to be 17 or over to accompany parents to this pool location; ours were older than this, but I am aware that those with younger children had more limited locations.

Not really a grumble - but the walks between locations at the hotel can be very steep (sometimes ridiculously so) - which can be slow work in the humid heat - but its a smile price to pay for paradise.

Property was amazing set in the side of a hill with lots of vegetation that provided shade and beauty. Lots of monkeys right on site and even some sloths! Quick jaunt downhill to the beach. Lots of restaurants on site that they will shuttle you to, or many others to choose from a short walk away. Rooms are eclectic and fun. Our efficiency unit was small for 4 people for a week, but we made it work. Kitchenette is handy and well stocked with dishes and utensils for its size. Loved our outdoor entry - complete with table and 4 wooden rocking chairs.

Careful if cooking on the induction stove. The pan handles get really hot and there are no oven mitts! It is set on a steep hill - so there is some steep climbs both ways.

Very unique property with lots of interesting restaurants, ocean views, lots of animals. Especially El Avión. The fact that they provide free transportation to the different restaurants located along the road.

The fact that they don’t allow kids to enter the “adults only area” was an inconvenience because our room (2 adults and one child) was in a separate area as my parents’ room, so then my daughter couldn’t even go to see the room where her grandparents were staying. Also the breakfast options could be expanded.

The room was spacious and comfortable. We loved the sea view from our balcony. The cleaning service was very efficient. We had an incident with the kitchen and it was fixed right away. Having a little kitchen, microwave and fridge was very handy.

The noise from the road leading to the beach and manual Antonio park and the swimming pool area -quite depressing due to bad maintenance. The kitchen board is too small. Not possible to place a plate. N es to juggle to prepare something to eat.

The views were incredible, all rooms were very spacious and had everything we needed, big balcony, loved being in the adults only area, all the planes scattered around the property were so cool, excellent cocktails, all of the restaurants on property were excellent, the staff was very friendly and helped book our tour of the Manuel Antonio National Park with a great guide and shuttle service, the property shuttle service to the restaurants on property was very nice and last but not least my favorite, the MONKEYS EVERYWHERE! The squirrel monkeys playing in the jungle canopy every evening at sunset was my favorite thing!

A little expensive but it was our honeymoon and big splurge of the trip. Still worth it and we would stay there again! Didn't love Playa Espadilla. Would much rather have stayed at the park's beaches longer.

The views and beauty of this place are outstanding. The staff are so accommodating and helpful. Rooms were spacious and clean. The wildlife around was fascinating as we saw toucans, howler monkeys, capuchin monkeys, and squirrel monkeys among other things. Situated close to everything and the bus travels directly past so you can take it down to Manual Antonio park and the beach, etc. Perfect location.

We loved everything!
