The hotel is located directly before the entrance to manuel antinio national park. Very convenient if your visiting the park. Endless dining and shopping options in a 10 minute walking radius. The public beach is less then 10 minutes from the hotel, very convenient to walk to. No car necessary to get to the beach. If you stop along the way to the beach you will more then likely to see an assortment of cool wildlife. The hotel itself was pretty clean, only complaint would be that while sleeping it was raining hard outside and i woke up to water dropping on my head. Not a dealbreaker whatsoever. The location is beautiful, a nice relaxed getaway from the hustle and bustle of big cities. It felt safe and lots to do from nature tours to beach days to excursions found wherever you are walking. I would definetly reccommend this hotel.

Location is very near to the Manuel Antonio Park. The pool is nice. Breakfast is ok. Room is very simple. The hotel is in a hill, so it is an exercise to go in and out of the room. Ok

We loved our stay here!! We had a wonderful view of the ocean from our room as well as the pool! The bar staff was phenomenal and very friendly. Having a pool was fantastic after walking around the hot city and park. The location is perfect, right next to the entrance of the park. It’s very easy to get a ride if you’re looking to go elsewhere for dinner or shopping. The room was just what we needed for our stay , with a little kitchen and counter space in the bathroom. We would absolutely stay here again!

Very convenient to the National Park. Golf cart service to take you from the parking lot up to the rooms. Very helpful and friendly staff. Nice pools! Enjoyed our stay. The upper level / larger rooms are worth the upgrade. A bit noisy since the building frames are metal (shipping containers).

I loved the staff and the restaurant was really affordable. The pool looked like it could use a little work, but we only went swimming once. I also loved the location and the view. The actual room was a little small as we had to share it with our 2 kids, but the AC was cold and there was a lot of wildlife right outside our room, even a sloth, so that was really cool. The staff was beyond amazing. I would definitely stay there again if I go back to Costa Rica.

I loved everything about this place!! Manuel Antonio is a magically place and the El Faro highlights that fact!! You want to see some cool stuff?? All you have to do is go to breakfast or sit at the pool… the monkeys will do the rest!! The staff here was great!! From the server’s to the guys that bring you to the beach in the golf cart!! You all made my experience incredible and I thank you for that!! What a great bunch of people!! The hotel is in a very convenient location next to the park and down the street from a gorgeous beach!!! If you’re thinking about staying at this hotel I’ll tell you one thing!!

The location of the hotel is great - right next to the national park and close to Playa Espadilla. Staff was super friendly. As the hotel is on a steep hill, the hotel offered a transport service up and down. Breakfast was good. The hotel also organised a tour guide for us to guide as through the national park as well as a Catamaran tour. And also monkeys came visit at the pool, which was really cute. All in all a great experience.

Perfect location and views!

First of all the location and the views of this was awesome! Out of the hotel and you’re in the national park. The views from your balcony of the ocean sunset or just a spectacular as any sunset restaurant you would go to. The service was great the animals on the property like monkeys on our balcony survived and others were able to see even before going to the park. The pool was refreshing and the breakfast was adequate choices. The only downside is that since these are containers, they noise travels and the walls are paper thin! There is a steep hill to climb, but they also have golf courts to take you up. They are quick to respond to you on WhatsApp. It’s a good solud three + star hotel

Nice, clean rooms. Friendly staff. Always ready to arrange a ride in golf cart up to the steep hill, where the rooms were located. People with healthy legs could also use the stairs:)
