Cons-a Towel rack was about to fall out of the wall, wall plugs in some areas could not get to. Pros- towals where available for the beach, and the pizza they serve at the pool where great, 4 min walk to beach and the area was great, Manuel Antonio park tour is a must, it is beautiful and all different animals where incredible, but the best was the employees at the hotel where awesome.

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!
