Rebecca, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Out of many hotels in the area of Manuel Antonio National Park, this one is located perfectly, allowing quick and easy access to the park and to the public beach. Other hotels could be located much higher on the mountain, requiring quite a challenging hike to and from the beach. This hotel is clean, the staff is friendly, and their included breakfast is very good, with several made-to-your-order dishes. We enjoyed staying there, and would stay there again if we decide to visit Manuel Antonio again.

A diamond in the jungle. This was our favorite place of 4 places we stayed in Costa Rica. The wood fired pizza was incredible, great breakfast, friendly staff and clean rooms. You truly get the feeling of being in the forest. You’ll love it!

8/10 Very good

We like that we were so close to the Manuel Antonio reserve. However, you are at the end of the strip so it is a bit more effort to get to the restaurants and shops.
Susan, 3-night trip

Nice place
Lovely comfortable quiet small hotel. Nice breakfast out by the pool. You can easily walk from this hotel to the Manuel Antonio park entrance. It would be very smart to do that and avoid the parking confusion.
