    Wonderful property and walking distance to MA park and beach. Lovely pool area, even the monkeys hung out with us.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The staff were friendly and helpful, they checked our reservation and saw that we had a little girl with us. They made sure to set up an extra bed. The room was gorgeous and perfect. The pool was great and the wood fire pizza amazing. I also thought it was amazing that they offered beach towels, super helpful for travelers. A few of the lounge chairs had seen better days, you couldn't sit on them. I did notice the morning we were leaving that they were carrying some out, so hopefully they replaced. Parking is limited but we were lucky

    Walking distance to the national park. Pool side pizza hit the spot. Also was walking distance to the beach. Relaxing. Nothing

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Location, close to beach, national park, eating places, Didn’t like the room, doesn’t look like 4 star? as the pictures and reviews, had to request room change, staff was nice,

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    breakfast isn't very good -very small portions, no butter, ham, or cheese etc. Just bread and some fruits/yogurt. For $200/night they could offer more variety. The room was too small

  • Engine customer Feb 2026

    Breakfast was incredible, everything fresh. The fruit, the juices, no powdered eggs here, fresh made omelettes to order. Incredible drinks at tiki bar. The grounds are beautiful. Love it!!! King mattress could have been better. Any movement made a motion for the other person.

    Very nice boutique hotel. It's located within a 5 minute walk from manuel antonio National Park and the beach! It's such a great spot. The staff was very sweet and the drinks are great!

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Nice breakfast, great staff (Nacho, Gabriela), perfect location, nice pool. What more could you want? Tad spendy, but it's peak season, peak location, what can we expect?

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Breakfast was good. But not consistent. Location is okay not far from restaurants, beach and park. But, also close to poor area where my cellphone was stolen. The room was not what I saw in the pictures. No window in the restroom, so extremely humid. The humidifier was extremely noise. Just 2 pillows for a big bed, and the pillow was hard.

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    The location could not have been more perfect. Staff was friendly and helpful. Short walk to Manuel Antonio park and short walk to the beach. Our room was lovely and kept impeccably clean. The toilet paper flowers were a favorite of mine - their twist on towel animals. We loved relaxing - drinking coffee or a cocktail on the lanai outside our room. The complimentary breakfast was delicious with an assortment of fresh fruits and eggs made to order. The brick oven pizza is also a must if you stay here. Parking is difficult but the staff helped direct us to open spots.

    Terrific Staff Charming hotel A hidden gem

  • Engine customer Dec 2025

    Could hear noises from outside; rooms were not spacious, beds were ok, bathroom looked outdated, sink would always be on full force or barely anything, breakfast was basic, but pastries were very yummy and they did let us choose multiple options
