    nothing - everything was amazing!

    Words can’t describe how beautiful this place is and the photos don’t do it justice. A very special place that makes you feel you’re part of the jungle but in extremely comfortable surroundings.

    We spent several days at Si Como No, and my whole family loved it so much. We have traveled extensively, and have never felt so welcomed by such an incredibly kind staff anywhere else in the world. The view from our room was stunning—the online photos don’t truly capture the expansive view of the ocean and forest. The room was bright, airy, and well maintained. I was concerned about bugs in the room (due to the proximity to the forest) but there were no issues. I believe the hotel was fully booked while we were there, but it never felt crowded and there was a pool chair available whenever we wanted one. My husband and son loved the pool slide, the swim up bar was fun, the spotting scope was a great touch, and we had frequent macaw and toucan sightings, along with monkeys and a sloth. We love photography, and had so many great opportunities to capture wildlife photos from our balcony and the pool. The Rico Tico staff would even call us over to help us find things. If I tried to name a staff member that made us feel welcomed, I’d need the entire roster. We stayed at another hotel in the area that was also beautiful, but Si Como No truly felt like home.

    Beds were soft and creaky. No chairs inside our room with 2 beds.

    Pool with swim up bar and water slide. Daily happy hour at the pool from 4-5pm. Live music for dinner. Great location for bird watching and listening to the sounds of the rainforest.

    Food was okay, but not the best. Coffee in room was too weak, in my opinion. Could use more hangers and hooks in room for hanging damp clothes and towels on.

    Beautiful view of ocean, very kind and helpful staff, adults-only pool and family pool, stained glass features, well-maintained gardens, quiet (up the hill away from the party-atmosphere along the beach). Very nice spa with excellent massage from Julio. Helen was very helpful answering questions and booking excursions.

    if you want a great ocean view from a hillside your are going to have steps up and down. For us no problem for those with trouble walking could be hard.

    The views were amazing, rooms had updated short and comfy beds. Included breakfast nice choice of off menus or use buffet or both. Friendly helpful staff. Beautiful family pool and bar. Many exotic birds on site.

    Windows in the bedroom didn't full seal, which meant we got a lot of ants in the bedroom and bathroom. Staff were helpful dealing with this providing repellent (which worked), offering to change the window and/or even change room which we appreciated. Floors and sofa could have done with a hoover and some of the furniture could have been dusted.

    Amazing views and lots of wildlife. We saw Toucans, Scarlet Macaws, monkeys and iguanas all at the property which we loved. The pools/pool bars and breakfast were great and staff were friendly and helpful. Large room with great view. Hotel helped arrange Manuel Antonio tour (which we would highly recommend!) and our transfer back to the airport, both of which went very smoothly. Location was great, close to plenty of good restaurants/bars, many of which have great sunset views.

    The facilites at the pools were lacking in that there were hardly any sun loungers, I acknowledge that most people staying at the hotel are out and about but those who did want to have some downtime around the pool really struggled to find anywhere to sit or any shade. There is also a very strict pool towel / ticket system which led to a misunderstanding when I traded in a pool towel for a beach towel and threw the whole system into disarray. Not necessary.

    Location. The views from this property are breathtaking. Our room came with a balcony which looked out over the rainforest down to the sea, from which you could sit and watch the myriad of birds. The room itself was spacious and very well maintained. The hotel grounds are immatculate. The hotel is built into a hillside which facilitates the amazing views. Possibly not suitable for anyone with mobility issues! Breakfast was absolutely amazing. Everything is cooked fresh to order with some very unusual and delicious options. Staff could not be more helpful. Hotel is quiet and peaceful but is located on the main street down to Manuel Antonio National Park so there are various restaurant options within easy walking distance.

    It was my wife's birthday while we were there and I organised a reservation via the whats ap contact they give you for one of the restaurants with champagne on arrival. When we got there, they didn't have any record of the booking, meaning the experience/surprise was slightly ruined. They did provide us with the bubbles on their house in the end, but a shame this happened but didn't ruin the rest of the experience. On arrival you are giving a lot of information on the hotel, but some information on the local area would have been helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay though and had an amazing time!

    The staff went above and beyond and were always so helpful and friendly. The location is good, a little way from the beach but the hotel have a shuttle that takes you down so that wasn't an issue. The rooms were huge, comfy and had everything we needed including a great view. They have a few restaurants/places to eat on site which all offered good choices and always tasty.

    The water in our room stopped working about an hour before we checked out which was inconvenient and we didn’t get any apology or engagement from the hotel about the issue even though they were aware which I find a bit odd. Service at breakfast was slow and I never even got the menu, had to ask for coffee and for the fruit plate and the buffet was limited and rather uninspiring. The ‘adult pool’ music was obnoxiously loud so we actually used the family pool which was more chilled out (adults are also allowed on the water slide there which was as popular with parents as their kids which was fun).

    Friendly staff, nice view and pools. The room was a good size and a view of the sea which was nice. The bathroom was big and the shower nice with a clothes line if you need it and lots of useful toiletries provided (sewing kit, toothbrush & toothpaste, razor etc).

    Amazing views and exceptional customer service. Unique wildlife from scarlet macaws, toucans, parakeets, and white faced monkeys. Restaurant was very nice also. We booked the Wildlife Refuge tours and they were wonderful. You can tell that the guides, Juan and Sebastian, truly care about the animals and environment that are in their care. We also booked a private national park tour and Eduardo was amazing- don’t go to park without a guide- you see so much more with one! We saw sloths, monkeys, birds, lizards, and a hummingbird in nest!
