We stayed in a superior ocean view room with a balcony overlooking the pool area with the ocean in the distance. The room had a king bed, mini refrigerator, a small desk, tv, and a coffee maker. It was very hot and humid so the air conditioner was wonderful. The rooms are such that the door opens to the outside so there is some noise that comes through the door. Our room also had a locked door to an adjoining room. For the first two nights, we heard no noise (and it was occupied) but the last two nights we could hear people talking loudly in the room next door. As others have said, the property is built on a steep hill. Our room was at the top of the hill. The restaurant and pool area is halfway down and there are rooms at the bottom of the hill. The staff will pick you up in a golf cart if they see you or if you call to request it. The beach is about a 7 minute walk down a fairly well-maintained path (some of the steps that are built into the path were broken). The beach is pretty with fine sand and the water was calm and nice for swimming. There were people renting chairs (20 dollars for 2 chairs and an umbrella), selling food, selling jewelry, etc but they were not intrusive at all. Other than the beach path which leads through the forest, there aren't any other walking trails on the property. We saw capuchin monkeys along the path and the monkeys visit the hotel balconies on occasion to look for open doors and an easy snack (staff advised we always keep the sliding door locked as they can open them). The included breakfast is buffet style and was very good. We ate dinner in the restaurant and enjoyed it (Priscilla was our wonderful waitress). They had live music on a Friday evening.

Me and my partner LOVED this stay. I think we were the only ones staying so long, it almost felt like our home. We stayed for two weeks so we were hoping it would be a place that we are happy with. The service is great and quick. Everytime we asked for something, they got it done in 5 minutes. The people that work there, they work hard and are friendly. Elliet, Andrei, Javier, Dayana were some of the people that I remembered, they felt like friends, they were always so attentive and sweet. I never got his name, since we don't drink alcohol much, but the bartender was always so energetic, happy and excited to be there. The hotel didn't have any loud or inconsiderate guests. The room(we had the family suite) was huge and the bathroom was big as well. Clean and tidy. The only thing was that there were no fans or AC in the bathrooms anywhere, so it would get so hot inside of them. The views were spectacular, we had no idea our room had ocean view so it was a beautiful surprise in the morning. Their food was delicious! The breakfast, was the same every day, not much choice, I guess since it was free. But the chefs at the restaurant are just amazing! You should try their pizza, sushi, pasta and truffle potatoes! We would get natural juices but they would put too much water and little fruit inside. The bell boys with the carts were sooo sweet and always offering a ride. I mean, I don't have many complaints. Their laundry is very expensive, we didn't expect that it would cost that much. We loved it so much that it did not matter too much lol. Thank you, it was a beautiful stay❤️

A lovely hotel with very friendly staff who went out of their way to making our stay a great one. The hotel itself is very nice - breakfast was good, rooms were large (a little dated but I'd expected that) and as others have said the beds are huge and we all slept very well. We loved watching the monkeys around the pool and Shana has a very relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. I would recommend to anyone staying in Manuel Antonio.

My partner and I had a lovely 2 night stay at the hotel. From the moment we arrived, staff were friendly, accommodating, and welcoming! We were greeted by Kevin V. at the front desk and he was kind and extremely informative. We felt so excited to start our vacation! They gave us a tour of the property and everything was so clean. So many animals around too! Our favorite part of the stay was definitely the pool. The happy hour was tons of fun. Delicious drinks and again, such great staff. Shout out to Warner!! He does an awesome job leading the way and his time and attention was appreciated. I wish we got the names of everyone that hosted us to give a personal thank you for one of the most memorable trips.

We had an excellent time at this hotel. The facilities were beautiful and clean. The staff were very helpful and friendly, they made an incredible hotel even better. Kevin V at the front desk and Warner at the pool made our stay memorable and fun. We will definitely be back
