Worth it!

They have a restaurant which makes it really easy after a long day to just potter over and have a meal so close.the food is amazing definitely try the Mahi- mahi .Also a restaurant downstairs called Bura is a lovely place if you ever get a chance to try very friendly staff and food is really really nice.The pool was fantastic and you can order drinks to have while you chill by the pool. Passion fruit daiquiri and a strawberry margarita are to die for. Being so close to the park you get to see alot of wildlife and they come very close. We got to see iguanas, Capuchin monkeys and lizards just to name a few. You can even hear howler monkeys from your balcony.

Great location, 5 mins walk from national park and beach.

Great to have access to a pool in the warm weather. Generous sized room with two double beds and A/C. Excellent breakfast (choice) provided and all food we had in restaurant was delicious. Live music and dancing on Saturday night was lively and fun. It was also great to have access to the men’s tennis final (Rome open) on Sunday morning. Staff were friendly and very helpful, especially José and Juan Carlos - Gracias!

Fabulous location and views!!

It’s a unique idea and layout using actual sea containers. The views were spectacular and the location perfect just a 100 metres from the national park

Spacious room, very comfortable bed and pillows. Free parking. Literally a two-minute walk from the entrance to Manuel Antonio Park, which is amazing (avoid scams and parking problems). Breakfast was acceptable but the portions were small. The pool is a bit outdated but pleasant

A great choice for visiting the national park

Located steps away from the National Park, and very close to the beach, restaurants, grocery store and shops. Everything you need on your doorstep. Choice of two pools. Amazing views from the rooms as on a hillside. Staff so friendly and helpful. They offer a golf cart service to get your luggage to your room and back to reception. Comfortable bed. Cold AC. Fridge and coffee machine provided. Breakfast choices were good and plenty of food. They also provide a pre order service if you have an early tour.

Great Stay with Stunning Views and Friendly Service

I stayed here for one night mainly because they offer a 24-hour reception, which was hard to find in the area at a reasonable price. Everything worked seamlessly from start to finish. The gentleman at check-in was really kind – he even drove me up from reception to the actual hotel in a golf cart, as the hill is quite steep, and made sure my key card worked before leaving me to rest after a long journey. The room had two double beds and would likely feel a bit tight for four people, but for one person or a couple it offers sufficient space. The shower had good water pressure and consistent hot water, and the room was properly air-conditioned. One of the highlights was definitely the view in the morning – absolutely stunning. Breakfast was decent, although communication was a bit challenging and it took quite a while to get tea (coffee seemed to be served much faster). Overall, it is a really nice hotel in a fantastic location. Just keep in mind that you will need to walk up and down a fairly steep hill when coming and going. Unfortunately, I could only stay one night as the hotel was fully booked, but I would have happily stayed longer.

Top notch service in beautiful surroundings, an unbelievable view!

The staff were over the top excellent in accommodating us. Jose saw us entering the property and immediately picked us up and made sure we got to our room with lots of help. The other gentleman came in at 530 am to help us get our bags down the hill to go catch the bus. BEAUTIFUL accommodation, lovely pool.
