Manuel Antonio hotels

Pros: Clean, spacious rooms, beautiful grounds, plentiful breakfast. Good location close to MA park and beaches! Some other hotels in the area might be closer and/or have beach views, but Plaza Yara will be hard to beat for the price and amenities!

Pros: Everything was absolutely stunning!

Cons: Beach transportation was a bit lacking.

Pros: The restaurant was closed (which was not mentioned) I was there with my girlfriend and we wanted a romantic early breakfast, instead we had a pool exercise class going on right in front of us . The instructor was yelling his instructions . Absolutely a “buzz kill”

Cons: Restaurant on site was closed. Which was not mentioned prior to booking. Had to do unnecessary traveling for diner. And a lot of grounds was closed due to maintenance.

Pros: Lovely location great staff ; very spacious apartment

Cons: Breakfast could have started earlier given early morning tours

Pros: Views

Cons: The price was a little high.

Pros: Staff were very friendly and helpful. Apartments are large with good living/kitchen area. Pool was great. Views of the Pacific from the pool are stunning. Kids loved the self designed pancakes for breakfast.

Cons: The lift directly to the apartment opened unannounced a few times, with people in the lift. This was a little concerning regarding security.

Pros: Such a beautiful property I will definitely be back!

Pros: Staff was excellent. Beautiful views from the pool. Lovely sunsets. Very spacious living space.

Cons: Private beach had no surf.

Pros: We got an enormous apartment. Spot clean, all the imaginable facilities and amenities in the apartment and in the hotel. We stayed for one night, but would be an exciting experience for several relaxing days. Very close to the Manuel Antonio national park.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: The 3 bedroom appartement was beautifully designed and very confortable with 2 bathrooms, a terrace, 3 balconies, an equipped kitchen and nice living room. The service is great and beachtowels are easily provided. The pool is beautiful and the small beach wild. We enjoyed yoga classes on the yoga platform and unfortunately we missed the free cooking classes

Cons: The proposed activities through third parties on the website were a little disappointing, for example the catamaran for whale watching embarked almost 100 visitors.

Pros: Great location. Excellent Breakfast. Huge apartment layout. Elevator opens into your suite.

Pros: I loved the staff at the hotel. They really did an amazing job to make us feel like royalty. If anything good can be said about the hotel, it's definitely the staff members here that make this place amazing. The breakfast staff and the golf-cart staff were super nice. Really loved them. The breakfast was really good, and the front pool was really nice.

Cons: There were several things wrong with our stay. First, when we stayed at the hotel, there were people doing construction right outside our room, meaning they can look into the room to see everything. Secondly, the rooms were a bit musty. The jacuzzi was never heated; we kept calling the front desk and asking them to turn the heat on. However, that was never resolved. You can't even adjust the jacuzzi from your suite. In the mornings, we woke up with construction noises because they were working on a rooftop in the adjacent suite. During night time, the rooms are dimly lit. The pathway from the hotel restaurant to our villa seemed dirty. It was always slippery - be careful when walking here. The room service options are extremely limited; it has one of the most limited options in Costa Rica. The wi-fi was so bad in the room. We kept losing our internet connection every 20 minutes. Finally, at one point in the night, we asked for a taxi cab to take us to dinner (in the rain), and I am not sure if the front desk forgot to call the taxi because we waited in the cold and in the rain for a while and had to remind them again. If you are considering this hotel, I would not recommend it. We come to Costa Rica regularly and would recommend staying at El Parador Resort and Spa or even Gaia Hotel, which is nearby. Don't waste money on this one.

Pros: Breakfast was very good. Excellent service.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Beautiful views. The pool was amazing. Everyone was very helpful and pleasant. There were many great restaurants nearby. The marina was great for food

Pros: Fishing was kickass & it was off season too.

Pros: The grounds were immaculate and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

Cons: The hotel is built in the mountains so be aware there are many steep inclines and the beach is a 1/2 mile down a very steep incline. If you are fit this shouldn't be an issue but if you have mobility restraints this could be problematic. The grounds are absolutely beautiful!

Pros: I like the food quality, service and facilities of the property!

Cons: n/a

Pros: The hotel setting is an amazing retreat to nature, with design inspired by nature. The location is very private and relaxing. The staff are all exceptionally friendly and caring. Esteban and Darwin did a fantastic job of welcoming us to the property, and answering all of our questions. The fresh breakfast and different juice daily were a real treat!! The wild beach on the property was beautiful but (very) rocky, so we enjoyed going a little uphill and then down the path to a proper local surfing beach. Maravillioso!!

Cons: The steep surfaces were precarious in the rain, but we avoided any spills.

Pros: Perfect location in the middle of the rain forest.

Pros: The hotel was amazing! Staff was friendly and attentive. There was wildlife everywhere and it was incredible. The pools are amazing and the restaurant is pricey but great. The desserts are all stupendous. I would recommend the hotel to anyone and I will try to come back!

Pros: Surrounded by nature monkeys sloths macaws etc right outside your room...... incredible views from restaurant great pools and attentive staff and owner.

Cons: Food is a bit hit and miss but owner was happy to replace or exchange or not charge for anything we didn't think was perfect. To be fair though you are not there for the food...... it's the natural beauty that's the focus.

Pros: Outstanding in every respect. The staff was the most professional and service minded than any I have ever witnessed. World Class at every level!

Cons: Having to leave.

Cons: When we arrived we didn't feel the bed we booked was the same and the TV wasn't working but this was reovled very quickly by a room change. Would have been nice to have a little bar in breakfast area in the evenings but plenty of bars around though

Pros: The hotel is fantastic, very relaxing, very well looked after, nice and very helpful personal, who propose and help organising tours and guides, which are very well selected for quality. The hotel is 100 m from the beach and 100 m from the entrance to the national park. Very good restaurants within 2 min walk. Breakfast of Hotel is very good.

The price was also great for what we got and it’s location. The wait staff was excellent and the drinks were strong. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for good value at a place they will feel secure.

Cons: The bus didn’t stop in front of the property but the stop was pretty close nearby.

Pros: Wonderful staff Beautiful property Amazing room!!! We will be back in September Pura Vida!!!

Pros: We loved the jungle like atmosphere. We shared the space with macaws, agouti ‘a and Iguana’s. The pool was refreshing and the bar and restaurant staff very friendly

Pros: The lush landscaping made you feel like you were in the middle of a tropical rainforest. Rooms, common spaces, and pools were all very clean and staff were always busy making sure the property stayed clean. Food was excellent including the free breakfast buffet. The biggest asset is the staff; everyone was EXCEPTIONAL! Nicole at reception was very pleasant and by far the most attentive to our needs out of any hotel experience I’ve had by far. Our family decided to take a last minute overnight trip to Fortuna/ Arenal and Nicole called the next day to check in as the housekeeping staff were concerned our room Was untouched and we hadn’t been seen around the property. That level of commitment to guest safety and satisfaction is truly rare and was much appreciated.

Cons: Airport shuttle would be a plus but not a deal breaker.

Pros: Beautiful hotel!! Kind staff!!

Pros: The service was excellent!!!

Cons: The elevator was scary so i walked up the stairs.

Pros: Very clean, big rooms and bathroom! Beautiful inside garden area and pool! Delicious buffet breakfast! Close to centre of Manuel Antonio!

Cons: Our biggest problem was the quality of the internet, very slow and unstable! Plus no internet in our room nor around the pool! Difficult for those who need it for work

Pros: Very helpful staff, huge rooms, gorgeous pool and lounging area. Breakfast was delicious. Only thing I would note for people here for their first time is that the pool lounge chairs are shaded by 3:30.

Pros: Clean ,comfortable beds, large spaces, good breakfast, friendly staffs,clean swimming pool, great location, what else ? No complaints.

Pros: The staff was beyond our expectations. Dallas and Brandon were super accommodating!!! We loved this place. I will be sure and book another vacation at La Cascadas !!

Pros: We love the service. The staff was excellent. They had ideas and suggestions for activities and general information. The property is well set out and private. It felt safe. It is easy to maneuver. It has a nice area for relaxing, eating, swimming, reading and listening to music. Atmosphere was awesome.

Cons: The walk to our specific rooms was quite steep. It was a climb to get there. It was slippery in the rain but loved the site and privacy.

Pros: Staff was the best

Cons: When we booked the room it said we would have an ocean view, big balcony, and hammock but we didn’t. Also kitchen was closed so we had to go elsewhere for breakfast. And the walk to the room was intense. Not good for older people but we were fine.

Pros: EVERYTHING. The localisation is perfect you are near the best place of quepos, you just have to take a quick bus to arrive in Manuel Antonio Park. The hosts are the best hosts, always here to help you, very very kind, excellent food, beautiful appartments, nice swimmingpool. Perfection.

Cons: NOTHING (Just don't go in Banana Club (the closest restaurant) it's really disgusting)

Pros: The staff (Dallas and his brother in particular ) were very friendly and knowledgeable- they always went above and beyond to make sure our stay at las Cascadas was the best! Thanks!

Pros: Everything! It's gorgeous, it's spotless, it's quiet, it's peaceful, three property is amazing, breakfast was good. We loved it here!

Cons: There wasn't anything I didn't like, except for the road leading to the hotel, but that's Costa Rica for ya!!

Pros: We booked the tree house and it was like living right into the jungle. Very special. The staff is super friendly and their homemade pizza was one of the best we ever ate.

Pros: The staff were fabulous. The three brothers made us feel so welcome and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed and gave great recommendations.

Cons: Thicker curtains would be beneficial in the tree top dome room, as the sun rose so early it made it harder to sleep past 5am! Also the addition of sun loungers by the pool would be great :)

Pros: The breakfast was delicious but we were a little disappointed that there were no other meals available. The staff was very helpful and accommodating when helping us find places to eat and activities to do.

Cons: We had a strange insect problem in our room but the staff took care of it immediately .

Pros: Perfect place to unwind and watch the wildlife!

Pros: The staff were all very friendly. The room was comfortable with a lovely balcony overlooking the sea. This was our best view of the whole holiday. Regular visits from monkeys, iguanas and birds made for an amazing experience. A number of great places to eat with international cuisine are just a few minutes walk away (not many Costa Rican dishes on offer).

Cons: Food and drink prices were rather off putting and so we ate out every night. There was nothing else that I would be negative about.

Pros: amazing view great location

Cons: nothing

Pros: I traveled to Manuel Antonio with my 16-year-old son. It was our first time in Costa Rica. We love Costa Rica. While in Manuel Antonio we stayed three nights at Mango Moon Villa and two nights at a high ranked resort. In the past, I have preferred small boutique hotels and my son has loved resorts, so we made reservations for both. After three hours at our resort, my son said he wished we would have remained at the Mango Moon Villa. When we first arrived at the Mango Moon Villa we were greeted by Ramone. We had just traveled overnight by plane and then a three-hour bus ride and were exhausted. We arrived before check-in time and Ramone helped us get into our room early. Thank you Ramone! Our first morning at breakfast, Mark the owner, pointed out birds and described the animals he has right from where we were sitting. Ramone helped us connect with our tour guides and helped us with everything we needed. The views from the Mango Moon Villa are stunning and the atmosphere is laid back and relaxed. The Mango Moon Villa was a perfect place to come back to after a day of adventure. It is also perfectly located near many restaurants. We absolutely will recommend the Mango Moon Villa to others and hope to make our way back there someday.

Pros: great location, wonderful stuff we really enjoyed our stay... after three wonderful nights we left in order to search a new hotel a little bit down south ... after a day in the car we did not find anything nearly that nice as Mangoo Moon Villa we decided to drive back a stay two more nights ... you could imagine the laugh of the stuff when we came back ... but definetly we loved the two extra nights... many thanks again to the stuff of the villa who made our stay exceptional !!!

Pros: Nice and spacious room with beautiful views. Easy to walk to nearby beaches and restaurants from the Hotel. The staff were nice also and the hotel was very clean and tastefully furnished.

Cons: Only continental breakfast (2 slices of toast and fruit) included. There was a good choice of other breakfast options, but they were extra (4-8 USD)

Pros: Amazing water front view In beautiful garden, we had the chance to see birds, monkeys and even Toucan drinking!

Pros: Gentleman staffing the hotel on 3/10/17 was very helpful and we appreciated his attentiveness. Hotel has great view of ocean.

Cons: not a great experience and most of staff/management not helpful. Will not stay there again

Pros: The views

Cons: The woman at the front desk was not nice. It said it came with breakfast, but it was just a small plate of fruit. The room was run down and smelled like mold the beds, bedding, towels etc were all old and gross. The towels were actually ripped. We will not go there again, for the money we could have gotten a much nicer place. It says pet friendly but is not when we arrived we were told put black lab was too large, we had to argue for thirty minutes after driving 5 hours to stay there. The WiFi didn’t work

Pros: Nice and helpful staff, beautiful view

Pros: We were very happy with our stay at this property! The accommodations are spartan, but completely adequate, especially when you realize the price. Now let me tell you about the view! It is extraordinary! We sat on our terrace as much as possible, watching the changing skies. You have the Pacific spread in front of you just beyond the emerald green valley and hills. You can relax in a hammock with a beer. We saw macaws, toucans and other birds, horses, chickens, puppies, a cat and an iguana in the trees. You will be happy if you like to travel on a budget. We loved everything, including the other guests.The restaurant prepared us a really good Costa Riquenan lunch. Also, I must add that Juan Carlos is wealth of information about local eateries and things to do. He is a charming and hard working young man. Take a left and go into Quepos for a good fish dinner and night life, or take a right to Manuel Antonio, the town, and the National Park. We had a wonderful stay.

Pros: Beautiful terrace with hammocks and awesome view, really nice and helpful staff

Pros: The hostel has a nice homely feel to it which we absolutely loved. The views are amazing as well! The receptionist initially seems a bit abrupt but I think it’s because his English his limited - he actually went out of our way to help us and provide us with information on trips and spent time playing games in the evening with us. All in all, a lovely stay.

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: The view and common areas are fantastic, nice staff, close to the busstation and supermarket. Room is clean and quiet during the night.

Cons: The bathrooms are okay but not the best

Pros: The view was amazing and the staff always tried their best.

Pros: The view is stunning, because you can see the sunset over the ocean. Room was nice, friendly people and very good value for money.

Cons: Kitchen supplies could use an update.

Pros: Gorgeous views, helpful staff

Cons: Have to walk up a slight hill to get to the center of town

Pros: The view is just fabulous and the bus stop to town, the beach and the national park is close by (as well as 3 supermarkets). There are a couple of cheap restaurant up the road. The shared kitchen and living room (between 2 rooms when staying in a double room) are great. Only ‘criticism’ is that there was nowhere in the room to hang or put your clothes in or on...

Cons: Only ‘criticism’ is that there was nowhere in the room to hang or put your clothes or towels on and since I needed my backpack during the day I had to put everything on the bed or floor

Pros: Lovely setting with a friendly staff.

Cons: More variety on daily breakfast. Menu was the same every day.

Pros: Great experience staying here! Loved the room, I was right in the middle of the jungle! Beautiful scenery, great staff and the restaurant was fabulous! Will come back!

Cons: Nada!

Pros: There were so many animals around the property. We had monkeys right outside of our room! The balcony of our bungalow was a perfect place to relax. They even upgraded two of our standard rooms to two bungalows for no extra charge!

Cons: nothing.

Pros: Great view from our bungalow into the jungle garden. We could watch monkeys, a sloth, red aras, agutis and more from our own balcony. The room was large and comfortable with a big bed. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was good.

Cons: Karaoke night at the Jolly Roger's bar Leaving

Pros: The grounds

Cons: The grounds Where amazing. We saw a white faced monkeys all over the trees in the resort as well as a sloth. The pool was amazing the setting was very tropical. The only downside was the beds were not very comfortable. Other than that it was a beautiful place and I would strongly recommend

Pros: The wildlife, monkeys and parrots and beautiful rainforest surrounding the resort. The staff at the Z Bistro - always friendly and welcoming.

Cons: Distance from airport (3+ hours) and the cost involved in getting to resort ($150-$170) - it is the cost of two days at the resort. The resort offers the most expensive transport. The Wifi reception was bad to nonexistent

Pros: we liked nothing, to the extent that we left the hotel the next day and moved elsewhere . However the staff was lovely, very accommodating and trying to help.

Cons: Well, what should have alerted me was the receptionist taking the full payment prior we were checked in, had we seen the room we would have not paid; the hotel is very old and tired; definitely doesn't suit to families with children, in my opinion the sports bar that is a part of the hotel is noisy, we were told that it would be noisy over the weekend, i can't imagine what it would have been like since it was quite noisy on a week day we stayed there our windows overlooked the main road and the parking lot-not very exciting at all we were so disappointed that we didn't even try the breakfast the next morning and instead went looking for an alternative

Pros: Everything! What a great place! Loved it!!

Cons: N/A

Pros: Nice room! (The suite)

Cons: The shower faucet and drain need a little work.

Pros: Beautiful resort that allows you to see the local wildlife from your porch! Very clean! Staff was so very pleasant and accommodating. Highly recommend

Cons: The only thing was the bed was a bit harder than I am used to.

Pros: Very clean, good location. Friendly staff and monkeys come and visit in the morning

Pros: Location. Close to Manuel Antonio national park, pool

Cons: Very low value for money.. Low maintenance of facilities. Poor breakfast. No catering for vegetarians and for diabetics.

Pros: The great view and the friendly staff made up for what would have been a completely disappointing experience. Obviously Manuel Antonio is a top location in Costa Rica.

Cons: The hotel has potential. But the facilities are not being kept in the best conditions. The room smelled due to humidity. The bathroom did not have basic necessities like shampoo. The breakfast setting needs attention. The guests were completely surrounded by wasps and other insects so bad that we could not enjoy the breakfast.

Pros: Location and staff are great! Restaurant is also good :)

Cons: You need to reconnect every two hours to the WiFi

Pros: Location location location

Cons: My room was under the dining area and next too rooms that was under construction. We only had 1 night left do we didn't move. They gave us the option to so that was nice.

Pros: Best location to visit the park

Cons: Some rooms entrance are by the corridor with no privacy. Choose only rooms at upper building

Pros: Very nice facilities. Awesome view. The employees were super friendly and went the extra mile. Location is very convenient too.

Cons: The rooms were a little small but nice

Pros: The view was spectacular. The staff was very kind and accommodating. The food was excellent. The pool was great. And the locations was also excellent.

Cons: The stairs were fine but could be a problem for some. And the rooms were narrow and tight, bit a decent value considering the location.

Pros: Absolutely loved everything about this place. Great location; right by Manuel Antonio National park and walking distance from the beach and so many great restaurants and shops. The rooms were smaller than expected but still good. Beds were very comfortable. Place was clean except for some construction that was being done on our floor. Pools were great with beautiful view of the beach from the top one. The best part of our stay though was the staff. Everyone was just so helpful and friendly we were sad to leave. Kim at front desk booked all our activities for us and made sure to check and remind us. Alonso and Erick were always there to help us around the property and share some tips about places to visit or things to do. Elizabeth and Jasson at the bar/restaurant we just amazing. Everyone was so awesome, we’ll definitely be returning. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable!

Cons: Small rooms

Pros: Location is hard to beat.

Cons: The breakfast area was infested with wasps, impossible to enjoy -- staff just shrugs at it. Also, they expect you to wear wristbands for the duration of your stay (I didn't), like it's an amusement park or something.

Pros: The room was clean and comfortable. It had a fridge that worked well. They gave us a free bottle of wine on the last night.Close to beach and park entrance.

Cons: The attached restaraunt was pretty pricey. Coffee was not included with the room.

Pros: Friendly staff. Well located. Nice size rooms.

Cons: I had no view. But I booked late. Restaurant expensive. Especially breakfast. Should be discounted for guests.

Pros: We didn't enjoy our stay here very much. The hotel is old and really basic and the decor is bad. The pool looks great in the pictures but in reality is in the middle of the hotel and there is no view from it. The only good things about this hotel are: proximity to the national park & the food. In fairness the dinners and drinks we had here were WONDERFUL and probably one of the best in Costa Rica. The lunch you can buy to take into the national park is awful and SO over priced. Do not buy it.

Pros: It was great staying here. The day after we checked in we went to playitas and when we were too hot we came back to a room that had been neatly cleaned and they even turned the ac on for us! The bed was also giant and extremely comfortable. It was one of the best places we have stayed in Manuel Antonio!

Pros: Very good location

Cons: I got a noisy room above the restaurant

Pros: Great location right at the entrance to the state park.

Pros: Great little hotel in a jungle setting with friendly helpful staff and nice pool to cool off in. Very well placed for restaurants and Manuel Antonio National Park.

Cons: A little noisy at times as it’s close to road, but all hotels in the area are the same as there is only one road along this stretch of coast. Didn’t effect us too much.

Pros: The location was excellent and the staff very nice and helpful.

Cons: I would have like a bit more breakfast.

Pros: The pool, parking, a/c. Falling asleep to raindrops on ceiling and waking up to monkeys howling. Staff was great. Very nice experience.

Pros: It is a beautiful hotel in the middle of the jungle. Saw a lot of animals just near the hotel, actually more than when I went to the Manuel Antonio national park. The owner is a very nice and helpful man who can tell a lot about the surroundings. Also the staff is very friendly! It is near the beach, only a 3 minute walk

Cons: Unwelcoming staff, without consideration for their guests

Pros: Very good location, near the beach. No need to use a car, to get on the beach or visit national park.

Cons: We were in a room on the ground floor. Bathroom has no window or ventilation, so the moisture air from the bathroom come in the living room. It made us feel, how wet the sheets are on the bed.

Pros: Great location, close to beach, excellent breakfast, very nice staff, more wild life around the hotel than Manuel Antonio park.

Cons: Shower heads

Pros: We like the building, the rooms and very friendly staff.

Cons: Breakfast could have been a bit more abundant

Pros: It was a very nice Lodge near Manuel Antonio National Park (15Minutes away from the entry). You can get within 5-10 Minutes to a wonderfull beach. We enjoyed our stay and loved to see the monkey pass the Lodge.

Pros: The hotel manager Julio was great and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Breakfast was delicious!

Pros: Proximity to Manuel Antonio National Park is nice. Breakfast is decent. Monkeys are all over their property so be aware of your belongings and food when eating breakfast on site. Nothing too overwhelming, they're fine, but just a heads up.

Cons: I didn't like the location of my room within their hotel. It was right by the pool/cafeteria area, so it is very noisy. The bedroom floor was a bit dirty with sand. Bed sheets to cover yourself were too thin. No window or fan on the bathroom, so all the steam and bad odors get trapped within the bedroom. When I made the reservation it said on the confirmation that I would have to pay 50% of the stay at arrival but it didn't specify it would have to be cash. When I got there, they told me they only accept cash payments. So be aware to have enough money on you when checking in at their hotel.

Pros: Tiki burger

Cons: I couldn't keep the puppies

Pros: the pool area is very nice and the location is perfect if you are looking for a central location in Manuel Antonio.

Cons: The Building is old and the rooms smell like old wood but are comfortable. There is no WIFI availability in the rooms and the staff from Reception and Restaurant are not the same administration so they should have more alignment on the communication. TV service is very bad they have a very bad cable connection. that service is basic for the rate that they charge

Pros: Great place comfortable beds big rooms staff was very kind ! Mama Mia restaurant ws very good plates are a very good size and fair price for them too! swimming pools were clean and very refreshing! overall defenitely recommend this place

Pros: The scenery is amazing, monkeys, sloths, wild birds were a great sight.

Cons: The constant vendors.

Pros: The receptionist went above and beyond to help me with travel plans. Great service provided!

Pros: Excellent value for your money. The person in the front desk was great and the room clean and big, for the money you pay you get more than you expect.

Pros: Property is nice

Cons: Breakfast wasn’t good at all.

Pros: The staff was very friendly The rooms are quite spacious

Cons: An iguana was making a neat on top of my ceiling tiles and kept me up all night. The rooms are dark - they hardly get any natural light and have very few and very dim lights. Breakfast fruit helpings were very small (literally an inch of papaya, two slices of banana, and a triangle of watermelon)

Pros: The breakfast was very good; I was able to make my own coffee in the early morning; the staff was helpful and very friendly; I enjoyed the well-done conversion of shipping containers into compact lodging. It is far enough from the main drag to be peaceful, close enough for a cheap taxi ride.

Pros: The pool were pretty

Cons: The room was not clean, there was a bugg in the shower. No hot water. Breakfest was just eggs and fruits. Bad Hotel

Pros: The stuff was really pleasant, the breakfast was good, rooms are clean, modern and big. The hotel has 5 swimming pools and very charmful garden. Really good value for the money! And family friendly! I recommend it!

Cons: Room without outdoor window was big, beautiful and clean, but it was a little bit scary. But they change it when we ask for it with no problem.

Pros: Pools, great breakfast, friendly staff, quiet and peaceful.

Cons: I didn't dislike anything

Pros: We originally booked a standard room for two nights. When we arrived, we were told that we were upgraded to a deluxe room for the same price. By the end of the second day, we were not yet tired of the beach and found the staff so helpful that we decided to stay an extra night. We even got to stay in the same room for the same price! The place really has it all, except an ocean view; it has nice rooms, a good restaurant, and a pool.

Cons: Like most restaurants in the area, the food costs more than it seems like it should. That being said, it is easy (and cheap) to get on the bus to go to Quepos to frequent a "soda."
