Best Place in Manuel Antonio!
My 12 year old twins & I stayed for 3 nights and I wish we could have stayed longer!!
I actually booked other hotels and as soon as I found this resort, I was sold. This property is amazing! It’s spread out on a hill in the jungle, right in the heart of Manuel Antonio. We saw monkeys jumping around in the tree canopy every evening.The pool area is more beautiful than the pictures show. The restaurant and sports bar in the middle of the property is great food, drinks, live music, games and very family friendly!
The delicious breakfast was included and not to be missed. Rooms are really comfortable and spacious.

Disappointed
On the main road, noise from outside carried into room. Smell from drains, bugs (all around the property but it looked like our room had not been in use — light fixture didn’t work).
Very friendly staff. Other than staff not much upside for the price.

When Can We Go Again?
Our family loved this hotel. All the staff was friendly and very customer focused. The rooms were excellent...great bedding, beautiful decor, robes, espresso makers, and super clean. We spent so much time just walking the property because the tropical variety of flora was stunning. Lots of stairs and we had my mom with us who has 83 year old knees, but we just took it slow and she enjoyed this lovely hotel as well!

A hotel in a natural paradise
The staff were super friendly, breakfast delicious (especially the breakfast burritos) cocktails amazing in the Yolo bar and the loaded nachos too.
The best thing was the way the place is built in a rain forest. The plants were amazing and I saw monkeys, a sloth with a baby, a humming bird, butterflies, ants. Really great. I hope to be back oneday.

High price and property didn't match price
This is a well located and well equipped hotel. However there were various problems with the room. In-room safe was faulty, shower head was faulty and the shower drain was blocked. WiFi signal in room was insufficient for streaming on smart TV. We reported these issues and initially little was done. On third day, I talked directly with maintenance and some issues got resolved. We asked to see the manager but he was too busy. We were given a complimentary meal for our trouble which was appreciated.
