    We really need to state that the breakfast was the worst we had at all while we stayed in Costa Rica. Not much to choose, no sausage/meat (not needed but for somebody could be important), the scrumbled eggs were really old and awkward looking, the best was the toast and the fruits. The butter was too warm so almost fluid.. the salt shaker was almost not usable until I cleaned it and it was dirty inside. So also not an option to put on your only one toast with liquid butter. The coffee however was nice which was nice anywhere in Costa Rica.

    The beds were sensationally comfortable. The best we had in Costa Rica. The location was very nice because almost directly near to the park and we saw a lot of animals around. The view was also great however we had one delux villa mountainside and the street between this and the beach/pool/restaurant was quite trafficked and loud while sitting on the balcony.

    We had a situation with the plumbing in our room. We were relocated to a room across the street for the night. I would not choose to stay in the rooms on the other side of a road as they are not near as nice as the beachfront rooms. The front desk made us feel like we were making to big of a deal of the sewage seeping into our bathroom through the shower drain. The next morning, the plumbing was fixed and the manager was very apologetic and refunded the one night charge. The restaurant was pretty expensive for the quality of food. The included breakfast was the same everyday and pretty basic.

    The location on the beach was fantastic. Although our room was beachfront, it was set back behind the gardens so you cannot actually see the beach. However, the beach is a very short walk. I appreciated chairs and loungers on the beach for free. The service on the beach and in the restaurant was very good. A few days there was banana bread at breakfast and that was awesome.

    Wifi was poor. Our room was up the hill and the wifi would only work in half our bedroom The bathroom was very very small. It had bits of mould on it as well which wasnt very pleasant The menu at the hotel was absurdly expensive. $10 for an iced coffee, $25 for a pizza.

    Nice pool and very close to the beach Free sun loungers on the beach Location to Manuel Antonio national park Wildlife on the hotel site - monkeys, Iguanas, Agoutis, Toucans Breakfast was basic but did the job

    I overlooked the spotty wifi because I liked my villa so much. But be aware with the other reviews are saying is true. I do not recommend eating here for lunch/dinner. It's extremely overpriced and the restaurant staff could improve. Day 1 here, I was confused on to where to sit since there was more servers than customers, and in the US, you get taken to a table to be seated & given the menu. Not here, that's completely fine! However I did not know that, and after standing for a few minutes with no one acknowledging me, I asked one of the ladies where I could sit and she scoffed at me and said anywhere w/ an attitude.. Ok I didn't need the attitude, it was my first night there, and again I don't know what is customary, so I don't make assumptions. Plus had I known you really think I'd be standing just to stand? l I gave it a second and last chance... but yeah it's a no from me, I found it frustrating that it seemed like they were more interested in conversing with one another than helping me, maybe it's because I'm a solo traveler? Idk it was weirdass behavior cause I didn't see anyone else being ignored like I was. After finally being able to order food, I wasn't offered any water whatsoever, yet I was given a coaster for my invisible water I guess? It was the hottest day that day as well during my stay there .... I was never asked if I needed anything instead my server seemed to be more interested in gossiping about his coworker's relationship status...didn't come back to my table till it was time to pay

    I really enjoyed staying here so I ended up staying a few nights. I liked the location, and the room itself. It had a beautiful view looking into the ocean. The receptionist and the cleaning staff were wonderful they were helpful and so kind. I loved having immediate access to the beach, and it being calmer than the rest of espadilla beach

    We stayed in a villa on the side of the mountain. Too, too many stairs to get to room. Wasn't aware of the stairs until I got the booking confirmation where they were finally mentioned. Not their fault.

    Very nice property with ocean and jungle view. We saw a troupe of squirrel monkeys the first hour or so that we were there. Worth it just for that!

    - there are 2 parts of the property - one on the beach side, other behind the road - ie you have to cross a road to access the other part of the property / beach area. obviously, the area behind road has a different feel to it - sunbeds - could be more of these on the beach - pricing - the prices are crazy - 12$ for a cocktail, 50$ for a dinner for 2 (each having one dish) whilst the food honestly isn’t that great

    the location of the property was very good - close to the city, right on the beach - this is very nice if you wish to spend some time just chilling on the beach. there is a private seating & sunbed area of the hotel, also you can lay down on the beach on your towel. staff was nice & helpful. the pool area is nice, as well as the garden of the property. fenced parking for hotel guests is convenient

    Very bad WiFi: in the evening simply not working due to overload I assume. Could be good to have arrangent to hang wet clothes otherwise obliged to put it everywhere around the room on chairs and balcony. Due to humidity it does not dry at all.

    Great location, very kind stuff. comfortable stay between hotel, pool, restaurant and straight access to the ocean. Not many hotels have such advantages at the same time. Can reach park Manuel Antonio by walk. Also was surprised to see animals in the garden and white face monkeys jumping above the pool between the trees.
