The bungalows are really nice, huge window with a sea view. Beach is really close and that is hard to come by in Manuel Antonio, as this is rather mountainous region. We even walked to the National Park from the hotel, it's not that far. The staff is very positive and helpful. The drinks in the restaurant are pretty nice as well!

The food in the restaurant is not only relatively expensive, but also really bad. Breakfast is OK (buffet) but if you order something for lunch you may regret this as we did. The driveway to the parking lot is quite steep and you can damage your car if it is low and you not careful.

Pros: Beautiful beach; great location; nice staff. If you want easy access to a beautiful beach, then this place is great. The rooms are very basic, but nice. Lunch and dinner at the restaurant is very good, but expensive. We also found the resident monkeys entertaining. Plus, the entrance to the national park is only a mile away or walkable by beach.

Cons: If you are in a mountainside room, you either have to climb a bunch of steep stairs and no Wi-Fi, or stay in a lower room with the noise from the busy street. Also, if you have a mountainside room, you have to cross the busy street to get to the beach. Finally, I was disappointed in the breakfast: no meat, no pancakes or waffles, and runny scrambled eggs. All that being said, I still think the pros outweigh the cons. I would stay here again and book a beachside room.

perfect location! Far enough away from the park that the beach was not too busy but still so many animals. we saw monkeys every day, iguanas, lizards, agouti, macaws, and even an anteater at the beach! kids loved the fun pool with a little waterfall. we loved having beach chairs to hang out out in and it’s a very fun beach to play in the waves. Villas were basic but clean and great views, definitely a hike to get up to the room. very good, filling breakfast.

Restaurant food was not great and prices were very high. stick to the burgers and pizza there.

The location was amazing. It was just a short walk downhill to the Manuel Antonio Park. We were close by to a lot of restaurants. They were just a short drive away and during the off-season, there was plenty of parking. We opted to use an Uber though we wouldn’t have to deal with the windy road at night. We stayed in the rooms on the lower half which means we were just a short walk to the beach also. It was lovely being so close to the beach. I loved to open the room’s door and just hear the ocean.The beach was lovely and there were tons of capuchin monkeys playing around sunset every day. All of the staff was wonderful and so helpful. I highly recommend staying here.

We arrived on Friday and left on Monday. All these days we did not need to leave the hotel, we had everything we wanted and more. On Friday evening there was a performance of live music and singing, it was a very pleasant surprise, we had so much fun, we danced, everything was beyond expectations. The hotel's beach is very well organized, there are umbrellas, chairs, drink and food service on the beach, everything you want and need on vacation. There is a pool. The nature is great, hooded monkeys visit the complex several times a day, we did not need to go to the national park, we got everything in the hotel complex, we had a fun vacation, and we will return to this perfect hotel soon. All the employees are very nice and speak English. The breakfasts are varied, and there is a choice of options

For us the vacation was perfect, We loved every moment, we will definitely go back there.

The hotel has an excellent, very convenient beachfront location on the beautiful beach. Sunsets will take your breath away. It is perfectly organized for guests to have a long day on the beach. Rooms are located nearby, including the Mountain View rooms just a short walk away. The service on the beach is managed very efficiently, starting from setting up the beach beds and umbrellas, taking care of drinks (fantastic Happy Hour options!) and lunch. Definitely the address for us to return while on future holidays in Costa Rica! Sincere thanks to all staff for the wonderful hospitality.

Staff was friendly and helpful, food was good, and near the beach.

I did not recall seeing in the hotel details that property was divided in two areas, one on the other side of the main street, next to the front office that is where I stay( there was a lot of noise due to the cars passing). Also, my room was the last one on the 1st floor next to the fence (#112), and I felt a bit like no one had stayed before (bit dusty and a use soap use in the shower), I had a scorpion visit during night.

My daughter and I stayed on the beach side of the road. Our room had a nice view of the grounds below and you could see the ocean. Just a short walk from the room to the pool, restaurant and beach. It was nice to have direct access to the beach from the room and the hotel provided beach chairs for its customer with beach service for food and drink.

We originally had a room booked up on the hill on the road across from the pool, restaurant and beach. It was around 150 steps up the hill from where we checked in and is quite the hike. The view is beautiful once you get there. We opted to move down closer to the pool. You would not want to stay in a bungalow with small children because of all these steps. When you are at the beach the constant stream of locals trying to sell you something is can be annoying.

Location! Right on a beautiful beach and walking distance to Manuel Antonio National Park and many restaurants. Excellent staff, food and drinks. Happy hour from 1-6 every day with 2 for 1 drinks. Chairs and umbrellas are provided and they will bring you food and drinks on the beach. The hotel is older but well maintained and clean. The included breakfast is a buffet but had a good selection. We ate at the restaurant our first night and found it to be very good with attentive service.

Seemed expensive but worth it for the location and being right on the beach.

Thank you for the available upgrade to the beachfront room. These rooms are amazing. The best, I think, for close beach access, for Espadilla beach..and down from the park entrance (=quieter). The included breakfast was great! The open air dining area is so nice as are the beach tables for later in the day. The loungers set up by the beach are also super nice and convenient. It was lovely to have pool access too- a great way to end a sandy salty beach day with a nice fresh water dip (after a rinse off at the convenient outdoor shower). The was clean and the beds comfy.. nice to have a balcony too. And so much wildlife and beautiful gardens! Wonderful staff!

BE AWARE the mountainside cabins are WAY UP and on the other side of the road. The view is great but the climb makes you think twice about popping back to the room and/or taking anything extra up!! We originally booked this one, not realizing the extent of the climb and were very fortunate to be able to stay beachside for 3 of our 4 nights. If all 4 had been mountainside we would not have been happy! The kitchenettes are very outdated... generally the whole property could use a freshen up (it has been around a while) but the staff are fantastic and its still locally owned and run..
