Spotless room on the highest floor, so no noise from the restaurant. Beautiful pool and lovely terrace restaurant. Was a little overwhelming arriving into the town, being harassed by people wanting you to park in their area, but once at the hotel we were treated very well. Easy walk to the beach, but preferred to stay at the hotel with no vendors bothering us.

The staff was great, very helpful and friendly. The room was clean and was accurately depicted in the online photos. Resturant had good food and the wait staff was awesome. Location very well situated to many different ideal destinations and the wildlife we saw just from our room and the restaurant was amazing. We would definitely return to the property if visiting the area again. I would say the only negative was a person name Justin that sat outside the gate and was constantly trying to pressure you to visit the coffee shop and souvenir store just outside the property. He apparently works for the hotel but was not a good reflection of the hotel. He was constantly trying to get you to buy things, was a little inappropriate with some things he was saying. He gave that used car salesman/hustler type impression that was over the top, frustrating and disappointing all at once.

The location of this hotel is perfect—right by the entrance of Manuel Antonio National Park with some of the best ocean views you can find. The reception staff was friendly and welcoming, which made check-in pleasant. Unfortunately, other aspects of the stay did not meet expectations. The restaurant staff was not friendly, which made dining uncomfortable. Housekeeping was also very poor: the sheets were never changed once during the entire stay, and the the toilet was never cleaned. Shampoo never filled. The last night of our stay the air conditioner stopped working. We did not bother to tell them. Overall, this hotel has a lot of potential because of its prime location and stunning views, but the service and cleanliness need serious improvement.
