What an amazing vacation we had. After 5 days most of the staff had become good friends. It was sad to say goodbye to them. The location is stunning too with 180 degree views of 2 beaches. Outside our room we had a monkey highway as each morning 10 monkeys would walk across the vines outside our room. The wildlife are real happy there as we saw sloths, friendly lizards and lots of monkeys. And last but not least, the food was amazing at both restaurants. We cant wait to return!

This hotel is not worth the money, terrible tiny room, children were stomping all night above us and we couldn’t sleep. We asked the front desk the next day and they said they check out - not true the same family was above us again. We left the next day- gorgeous views- room pictures online are a lie and front desk does not value a quiet nights rest

I arrived in the afternoon, around 4:30PM, after a very long trip. No sign was telling the hotel location. The road looks like it leads to a one-star hotel. At the gate, no one speak English, so I waited 10 minutes to speak with the reception. They gave me the room late, and then the surprise was: THERE WAS A WIDENING PARTY IN FRONT OF MY ROOM THAT KEPT ME UP ALL NIGHT. I FOUND DEAD MOSQUITOES IN MY BED AND AT 4AM WAS CHECKING ON MY BABY AND SEE A SPIDER IN MY ONE-YEAR-OLD'S BED. I checked out the next day and did not complete the two nights. I WANT A FULL REFUND FOR THE ENTIRE STAY. I WAS EXPECTING FIVE-STAR SERVICE WITH THE AMOUNT OF MONEY I PAID.

Hotel is fabulous, staff are amazing. They consistently went above and beyond to ensure our stay was wonderful. Magnificent views from every vantage point. Lots of wildlife on the grounds. Monkeys, sloughs, iguanas, etc. We did the night walk with Maria. She was great and pointed out so many amazing species of tree frogs, sloughs moving, birds,etc. Also booked the waterfall hike (spectacular) and whale watching (saw at least 8-10 whales in addition to leatherback sea turtle, dolphins playing, and many species of birds). Highly recommend!!

Ok but definitely not luxury

This hotel bills itself as luxury. It frankly is not. It is above average if you are looking for something standard. The rooms are fine, but not fancy. The entire exterior of the place could use a scrub down and all of the curtains and cushions need replacing. The location is good on the beach but even the beach set up is not optimized. Go here for value and convenience but not for luxury. The restaurant is also overpriced and underwhelming.

Mixed feelings. Beautiful location and the rooms. Very good food BUT all the waiters were so unhappy serving people and it took forever to get the order so we switched completely to the room service that we did not have to interact with them. The spa was also a big disappointment. Appointment at 10:00 and at 9:55 the spa still locked up with the explanation that they open at 10:00! So in the second they open you hop on the table. No concept of welcome drink or relaxation before the treatment. Therefore the golf cart drivers were so happy, friendly and accommodating. Really great guys reading your mind. The room keeping was great and the room itself too. So it was a weird mixture. Considering that we paid $1,200 per night there should be no mixture of bad and great service. It should be all great. We would not return there although the location at the private beach was great.

The resort was beautiful, quiet and clean, and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. You will see monkeys and sloths. The staff will point them out to you as well. Most of the community does speak English and do take dollars without difficulty. The restaurants on the resort are pricey, we tried Agua Azul close by and it was delicious and reasonable, Emil’s Cafe was also great but also a little more pricey. Taking a taxi to the local restaurants in Manuel Antonio is about $10 each way, into the manual. Antonio Park is $12 each way. We initially use the resort transportation when we arrived to take us from the Quapos airport to the resort which was around $68. I asked the resort multiple times how much transportation would be via taxi and they avoided this question. On the way back, we decided to take a red taxi and it was only $25. The resort was helpful when asking how much to taxi would be to other places, although not to the airport. Adorable tourist shops in the area although very overpriced so do negotiate. We did multiple tours that we booked on our own. I would definitely recommend a guide for the manual Antonio Park. We did a volunteer for a day with Kids Saving the Rainforest and you will see more animals up close. Also loved the Night walk Rainmaker tour and horseback to beautiful waterfalls. Transportation to the Waterfall was $140 and tix $160 for two, but lovely. Bring any meds you might need pharmacy charged $80 for a $20 medication, ouch
