At least some TV stations need to be in English. A news station like FOX news in English would be nice. Extra washcloths.

TheBreakfast at Playa Espadilla was fabulous! We looked forward to breakfast everyday!! Such a wonderful array of typical Costa Rican food! Also, the concierge service was fantastic. Dylan helped with every question and all of our excursions with a smile!

If you have a “garden” room, you will be in a separate building with it’s own front desk and must walk a short distance on the street to get to the pool area with the bar that they use in their advertisement pictures. There is a another pool in the garden building that does not have a bar. Not a big deal since you can use both facilities, but they should make it clear in their ad. Also did not like that breakfast started at 7 when the Natiinal Park opens at 7.

We loved the proximity to the National Park, beautiful pool areas and wonderful restaurant. No need to use our car during out stay. The beds were comfortable.

Nothing to improve

The breakfast, surroundings and staff were great.

Humidity is very high in room. I saw a big cockroach running across the room in the middle of the night. The shower door is not sealed so water slip out and flood the bathroom floor.

We like the hotel very much after a long strenuous drive. The hotel is beautiful and the staff was warm and helpful. He made diner reservation for us right away. The famous Manuel Antonio National Park is right around the corner. The pool is inviting. The public beach is right behind. What not to like?

Pretty decent place. Walking distance to the park

It is very overpriced. The room does have “US motel style” and is definitely not what I expected for the price. It is also very small and didn’t have any nice touches (they didn’t even provide mineral water in the fridge, which is provided even in small and cheap hotels in Costa Rica). Bathroom is small and dated; the shower leaks a lot of water through the door, and water pressure is low. The hotel is due for renovation. Breakfast is mediocre for the price.

The hotel has some of the standards you would expect from a hotel of this category: nice staff, good restaurant, beach towels, good housekeeping. The bed was very good and the room was clean. It is nice to relax by their swimming pool, specially after a hot day in Manuel Antonio park.

Having a room right next to the pool could make it a bit loud outside when trying to go to bed a bit early as pool is open until 1030pm but not too bad.

Loved the comfy bed, nice pool and restaurant was amazing. Located in great spot also close to beach and national park.

Very comfortable hotel with pretty pool area and gardens. Loved the outdoor evening eating area under the trees. Short easy walk to the beach but tucked away in quiet road behind the busy main area of Manuel Antonio. Good food both at breakfast and dinner and very friendly staff.

The pools and the grounds create a very pleasant and luxurious atmosphere. The breakfast was pretty good. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent.

We thought that the gardens would be more extensive (due to the hotel name) but the hotel setting is very nice.

Great location and short walk to the beach and the National Park but set in a nice quiet location. Fantastic on site restaurant. Nice little pool area with shaded sun beds. Good ac and fridge in rooms. Staff friendly and helpful.

The location was perfect. The employees were helpful and kind. The security guard let us know our car windows were down a bit and also was stationed at an exit area in an evening we were heading to the beach and shown his light and let us know he was there. The breakfasts were good, the grounds were well kept and beautiful. We hope to come back!

Breakfast could start earlier

Great location and the staff are super friendly, I like they way housekeeping made the towels into animals or flowers, small touch but made it feel special.

The room itself was smaller that expected, with no cabinet space or hanging rods to store clothes. It was okay for two people, but it would be quite cramped for 3 or 4 people.

The hotel was in a great location, less than a five minute walk from the entrance to Manuel Antonio Park. The staff was attentive and very friendly. The common areas - especially the restaurant - were excellent and well above expectations for a 3-star property.

Everything was wonderful!

Outstanding location. Steps from Manuel Antonio National Park. Super clean, neat, and comfortable. The entire staff went out of their way to keep us comfortable. The rooms were very well appointed. Great shower and plenty of electrical outlets. They have their own private reserve where we went hiking and saw lots of plants and animals.

Nothing bad to say about the hotel

It’s covered on three sides by the jungle, perfect location for access to the national park and the beach. Top setting the pool was good as well. Staff were great. The wildlife on-site was great, we saw and definitely heard howler monkeys, deers, loads of gecko’s, pretty birds and Agouti all in the jungle from our room, Amazing.

The hotel is right next to the entrance of Manuel Antonio Park. The bar and the restaurants are newly renovated and the look very nice, moreover the food and service are very good. We had a lovely dinner listening to a live jazz band.
