    The property needs renovation, when walking from the reception to the room it seems like it was under construction.

    The room was pretty spacious and it was well located.

    WONDERFUL STAFF!! BEAUTIFUL PROPERTY!! TONS OF ANIMALS TO WATCH IN THE TREES!

    The road outside the hotel is really, really busy & none of us felt like it was safe to walk around. There were no/few sidewalks and cars speeding around windy corners. We only went out in our vehicle (In the properties defence, I think that we would have the same problem no matter what property we booked). It's about a 15 minutes drive to Manuel Antonio park. Wifi was hit & miss but mostly poor. We had to pay for data in order to have reliable internet. That said, there were 6 of us into the room and all competing for the wifi. The living room furniture was run down and really uncomfortable. There was no AC in the living room. It was really hot and an unusable space on full sun days. There was no coffee table or dinner table. We both had to work while we were away and wished there was a table sit at. No shower curtain in the bathroom & water got everywhere & the floor was always wet. No cutlery or wine bottle opener in the 'kitchen' area in our room.

    Beautiful pool with lots of wildlife in the trees. The staff gave the kids bananas to hand feed the monkeys. Hot shower by the outdoor pool. Drinks were available for purchase by the bar (not cheap though but nothing in MA is cheap). There was music/TV at the bar. Complimentary breakfast was great; either Tico breakfast or American breakfast. You can choose to eat at 7am or 8am. The staff were really wonderful and lovely. Our unit had a fridge, & a bar  in our 'kitchen area'. They provided some glasses & coffee mugs. Other items were available behind the pool kitchen bar. ie cutlery Outdoor shower (in the unit) was hot with great water pressure. They provide Shampoo, conditioner & hand wash. Beds were comfortable.  AC was excellent but only in the bedrooms. Free secure parking ( behind a gate, opened by fob). The staff were all really lovely and went above and beyond.

    The rooms had bugs crawling from under the door but the staff made sure very quickly to get rid of them and didn't really see them afterwards.

    The staff were really friendly and even accommodated us getting there late. Breakfast was good and got to see the monkeys that hung out by the pool. Quite a bit of wildlife to see here!

    It is not a negative but unusual bathroom as the shower is private but open-air. Great for watching wildlife whilst showering!

    Comfortable well equipped room. Small but lovely pool. Friendly and very helpful staff. Location is busy but very good for a wide range of restaurants and access to the Manuel Antonio national park, which you can drive to at the bottom of the hill. Amazing beach next to the park.

    When it rained heavily the roof did leak very slightly, nothing major but it did make the floor slippery. Staff were friendly but some of them could have learned a few words of basic english especially when serving breakfast etc because this place is marketed towards foreigners.

    Room had a lot of space and came with a TV and fridge. Bathroom was pretty good too. The pool area was a great place to relax, very beautiful and monkeys will often come and visit. Is right by a bus stop. Breakfast was pretty good.

    The music was too loud by the pool, which starts at 7am. The staff were nice but we could never find anyone either by the pool or on reception which was a bit odd.

    The pool area was lovely and we got a private bungalow on stilts which was spacious. The hotel was easy to find and the bus into Manuel Antonio or Quepos stopped right outside, costing only 385 colones per person.

    I was facing the back part full of trees, which in my opinion needed more maintenance, and that's why animals came around for food. Not the best area if you don't rent a car and want to eat something around. It's 5 min by bus to the park and to walk in the "city center". Lights in the room were extremely low.

    Very quiet. Helpful staff. The property is subdivided into lodges. Each lodge has its own balcony and a hammock. Outdoor toilet and shower very bright. Nice to wake up and have a delicious breakfast. Coffee is always available for free at the pool area. If you like animals, I had the chance to meet a raccoon looking for food underneath my balcony and also around the hotel. It was lovely to see some white face monkeys climbing on the trees from my bedroom.

    Location wasn't quite close enough to Quepos or the majority of Manuel Antonio, but ok if you have a car. Not much of a view, main hotel building undergoing building work, so nothing currently to offer in terms of facilities beyond a pool bar, my room a bit too dingy for my taste even with all lights on, could have done with more (or brighter) lighting options. Amex payment couldn't be processed which was inconvenient having used Amex to reserve the room.

    Location quiet, room clean, Netflix and A/C in rooms, some nice touches like the hammocks, good amount of furniture in room, good staff who were very friendly and helpful, decent breakfast, decent value for money given that Manuel Antonio hotels are generally expensive.

    Breakfast was good but consistency of the menu could be better. Tiny details, but overall good breakfast. TV never worked at all in our 2 night stay, bummer. Tiny details like a toilet paper holder, bed was a bit small for the two of us, and pillows were tiny as well. Hardwood floors are very squeaky loud.

    Facilities are great! Love the style and vibe. The pool is awesome and they had a very nice garden all around the property. Room is very spacious too! The staff is very nice! Highly recommended for the price.

    Our particular room was very simple however and I would have appreciated some more furniture such as chairs in the room, also there was nowhere to hang towels or wet clothing.

    Reception area under refurbishing and not very welcoming - bathrooms bit small and outdated - hotel on a very busy mainroad making it dangerous to walk in the area - you need a car to get to the park and the beachn

    Staff ( Isaac) was very friendly and helpful - checking with us arrival timing such that room would be avaikable - good parking - nice pool and poolbar. Rooms were ok and spacious and airco working well - breakfast standard and ok

    There is only net curtains in the room so there is little privacy and the garden spotlights impact your sleep. The pool skimmer system needs improvement. The rooms have new a/c fridges etc but the bathrooms etc are very tired.

    location and grounds are lovely with lots of wildlife, breakfast staff very friendly.

    the bed is too small and not comfortable. the wifi has low range and works poorly. we would like to have received the information that we should have booked the national park previously, nevertheless they tried to find an agency that could take us, but we refused and booked for a couple days later.
