A friendly family run resort right on the beach!

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: We only stayed for 1 night, the location is perfect, right next to the beach. The room is big, with some appliances for cooking as well. As we were leaving very early in the morning the owners were so kind to prepare a breakfast “to-go” for us in the evening.

Cons: Old furniture

Great small gem on Costa Rica paradise.

Cons: We had rain one morning... lol

Wonderful beach with aras showing up daily

Pros: The location was wonderful. There was a very clean pool. And the beach was directly in front of their location, direct access. You could cary sun beds into the sand and relax the whole day there. Plenty of shadow available. There was a big tree where we could see red aras landing multiple times a day, eating for an hour. We were looking at them all the time so close. Incredible. The AC was working fine. The staff was very friendly.

Cons: The room was a bit stuffed and not so charming. Basic, but working. There was no balcony with our room. Not that bad as we stayed at the beach all the time.

Simple and beautiful beach hotel

Pros: This hotel has a super relaxed surf and beach club vibe. The beach off the back is huge, clean, great for surf but also swimming if you like jumping in waves. The space had a well equipped kitchen, warm shower and effective a/c. Small pool is great for a cooling dip. The breakfast was lovely and they listened to the fact we are vegetarian and vegan. The staff were incredibly helpful with our questions- they told us how we could get the public bus from Manuel Antonio and booked an affordable taxi for our onward travel. The town is pretty quiet but has a lot of life in the bars and restaurants! Super walkable to groceries.

Cons: The room was a little rough around the edges, our door was a bit janky and its very dated furniture. Perhaps the space would be a bit small for a long stay but we were comfortable for a couple of nights. I think they should have a few surf boards or body boards to rent!! We’d have taken one out for a turn.

Pros: My stay was excellent the studio was very peaceful near the beach with bright natural sunlight and was very bright and well-equipped. I had a very good time staying there. As far as transportation my driver Alex was sent by hotel services to pick us up at the airports. He was very professional, and he went out of his way to make one feel at ease. Even though the journey between the airport and the hotel was long, he made sure his passengers did not get bored, which was very important. I recommend the hotel for a nice stay because of the staff's professionalism and the hotel shuttle driver. My driver Alex Rock is the best. If you choose this hotel you will not regret it.
