Location, location location- only

This hotel has a great location, walking to Manuel Antonio park, many restaurants and the beach right across the street- however- as others have said, it needs some work. It’s dated, yes but also run down. The outside property and landscaping is pristinely beautiful. We saw many monkeys in the backyard/parking area trees- made the stay worth it. We didn’t spend much time in the room (why would you when you’re in Costa Rica?!) so if you’re about ease of location for outside activities this place is it. If you’re for a relaxed resort vibe, it’s most likely not.

The location is great. You can’t stay any closer to the Parqeo Manuel Antonio. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The grounds are well maintained. But the hotel is dated and showing its age, particularly in the rooms which are pretty basic. A bit of mold in the bathroom. Then again, it is rated as two-star.

This is a no frills place but yet has everything you need. Clean, quiet, tours that can be booked. Across the street from the beach, lots of restaurants close by. Right beside a path that takes you to the park. The bus stops right outside. Needed a blow dryer which the front desk had. Convenient parking. No pool but we purchased a day pass at a close by hotel.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This hotel is literally only good for the location and convenience of being next to the beach and national park. The staff seemed like they were bothered by us. Does not offer breakfast. The room itself was very outdated, smelled strongly of cleaning products and had a very uncomfortable bed. Lots of bugs and ants were invading the room. I even had a bug crawling on my back. I would never stay there again.

I would not recommend staying here. The front office was rude, very limited dining options within walking distance, beds were uncomfortable, and the overall quality of the hotel is poor. Additionally, there are dozens of vendors and people trying to get tourists to buy things and to pay to park - and they start early and stay late. The beach is nice and walking to Manuel Antonio is convenient but overall I would skip both the park and the hotel. I was very disappointed and deliberately left the area, driving an hour plus to the Uvita area to experience something better.

This property is an amazing option for staying in MA. The location in relation to the beach, national park, taxi access, and local shops is better than any other of the hotels around Espadilla beach. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the staff's hospitality. The room cleaning service was more meticulous than literally any hotel I have stayed at (regardless of star rating). The room was spotless and fully cleaned every single day. The front staff was also great at accommodating quality excursions around the area. When our boat trip canceled last minute, they found us a better boat trip option for the same day at a better price, all in under 15 minutes. Highly recommend Hotel Manuel Antonio.

Nice beach, close to national park. Water from hotel tap was not potable we were told but no other water was in the room (no carafe or bottles) and the only clean water was inside the restaurant which was too late to access. Thirsty!

The location was perfect since we were going to the park and we walked there. Our room however, said ocean view and all we saw was buses parked in front all day. The room smelled stuffy like urine maybe the drainage.

I booked an ocean view room, which was a mistake (it's only a partial view because of trees). The road below those rooms is busy so I didn't sleep well because of noise. But good location and friendly staff.
