Perfect location and views!

First of all the location and the views of this was awesome! Out of the hotel and you’re in the national park. The views from your balcony of the ocean sunset or just a spectacular as any sunset restaurant you would go to. The service was great the animals on the property like monkeys on our balcony survived and others were able to see even before going to the park. The pool was refreshing and the breakfast was adequate choices. The only downside is that since these are containers, they noise travels and the walls are paper thin! There is a steep hill to climb, but they also have golf courts to take you up. They are quick to respond to you on WhatsApp. It’s a good solud three + star hotel

This is a comfortable accommodation. The staff is so friendly, the food at the restaurant is delicious and at a great price, and the entrance to Manuel Antonio park is just about a block away. We had monkeys and geckos visiting our balcony. The geckos and rain was louder than I expected but easily ignored with ear plugs. This is not a luxury hotel but it is safe and relatively comfortable. Love the view, it was beautiful!

When I went to shower, there was no shower/shampoo soap. I contacted the front desk through Whats App, They responded right away and sent someone to bring soap very quickly. We were late for our excursion pick up time and the front desk let us know they were waiting through Whats App. We thought the time was 20 minutes later, so we appreciated the notice so they would wait for us. Great service from the front desk. They even helped us with restaurant suggestions for dinner. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Love how close it was from the National Park entrance. Great attention from the staff. Wifi was not working most of time. The first elevator did not look or feel very safe. Regarding the breakfast, it will be more convenient if the guests can have both coffee and juice, rather than one option per breakfast.
