Rooms are very large and very clean. Beds are very firm. Nice balcony! The food at the restaurant was excellent. The staff were very nice and accommodating. Unfortunately the young man who took us to our room, was probably new and overloaded the elevator and broke it. The other staff rescued us quickly. There are iron spiral staircases, which we used the remainder of stay, being very careful because it was raining. Beautiful property with beautiful views. Close to Manuel Antonio national Park.

Clean room, great staff, close to Manuel Antonio and the beach. I actually was able to walk to the beach. The view from my room’s balcony was fantastic and the view from the dining area was spectacular! My room and bathroom felt a little outdated and I didn’t have hot water, only cold. The bed was very comfortable. Overall a great place and the positives outweigh the negatives.

This hotel definitely has the best views in Manuel Antonio. The sunset and the view of the ocean were absolutely gorgeous. I highly recommend eating dinner at the hotel restaurant during sunset. We were on the top floor with ocean view and it was stunning. The only issue was that the elevator would go up to our floor but it wouldn’t go down. We didn’t mind walking down the stairs but it was tough when we were going to check out and had to carry our luggage.

The views are breathtaking. Beds were super comfortable. Housekeeping did a great job every day and the breakfast was incredible- buffet style with lots of options. We ate dinner once at the restaurant on site and it was very expensive and the food wasn't that good, but again, the view is so amazing it was worth it. The walk to the beach could be brutal if you aren't used to walking up hill for 20 minutes straight, but you can also take your own car down the beach access road if it has decent clearance as the shuttle options are pretty limited. The beach is stunning.
