“Wouldn’t recommend this hotel at all, it needs a full over haul to bring it up to the 4 star standard it claims to be. D”
The location of the property is good close to restaurants, the beach and Manuel Antonio national park, but traffic was a nightmare.

“Excellent location for the national park”
The hotel is next door to the national park. The adults only pool on the roof terrace was very tranquil, next to the sushi bar which did amazing food that you could eat whilst watching the sunset, beautiful.

“Right next to the park”
It’s in a fantastic location, right next to the park entrance. There is a bus that leaves from the beach that heads to Manuel Antonio and Quepos, as there isn’t a great deal around in the evening after the park has closed. The rooms were bright, spaces and airy and almost back on to the jungle itself - we saw deer, monkeys, raccoons and countless birds from our balcony. The breakfast options were decent too, though would’ve been handy to open a little earlier at 6:30am to be able to get to the park for opening at 7am. Plenty of parking available too, with security on the front gate.

It's right next to the National Park so very convenient. Also you can see birds from the roof top bar (including scarlet macaws and singing toucans!). The tour to the private waterfalls was also well worth it!

“Worth the bad bits, for the location and wonderful staff”
The staff were all super friendly and professional. The location next to the national park is perfect. Also wildlife inside the hotel grounds was wonderful. The room was large, with very comfy bed and had all you needed. Had a lovely balcony overlooking the jungle and distant sea view. The spa treatments were very good. The pool area is nice. Two choices of restaurant with the rooftop one having spectacular views.
