Amazing; thoroughly enjoyed my stay

Pros: I was thrilled and have nothing negative to say. Check in time was after my arrival and check out time hours before my shuttle transfer but I was made welcome and encouraged to use the pool, restaurant etc I recommend and would stay here again.

Cons: Nothing not to like about the property. Well maintained and clean always.

Fantastic hotel but you have to be in your own rooms at night.

Pros: Excellent location for the park and the beach. Friendly staff. Amazing views. Clean rooms with comfy beds.

Cons: Been told off like naughty children at 9pm for having a drink with our group. Asked to move by the pool. Which we did. We were quietly talking. Then asked to go to bed!! At 9.45pm..we wasn't doing any harm.

Amazing view

Pros: Best place to stay in Antonio Manuel. It's only a stone throw away from the park and we've seen monkeys, lizards and birds directly on the hotel side. Best of all is the amazing view from the room and pool (make sure you get a sea view room)!

Cons: N/A

Great location, great views, helpful staff.

Pros: What a lovely hotel! We stayed right at the top, and the view of the sea/ sunsets were a delight. Good aircon, very peaceful, TV with all the apps. Very strong wifi :) Just a short walk to main beach, and right next door to the Nature Park. Wow!

Good place to enter early to Manuel Antonio.

Pros: The location of the hotel is the best if you would like to go to Manuel Antonio park. The view from the room was excellent (we could see the ocean even though it's called pool-view). Beach is only for a short walk, lots of shops, restaurants nearby.

Cons: One small thing, there were no plates in the room, so eating our own food was not comfortable.

Great hotel concept!

Pros: The location is right next to the entrance to the park and convenient to go to the beach, restaurants. The staff were really nice and helpful. We had a penthouse room which was very spacious and had an amazing view as it's at the very top of the hill. I would check which room you would be happy with as other rooms may be smaller and near more noisy areas like the swimming pools and restaurant. The whole concept of the place, with rooms made from containers but really comfortable.

Cons: People will mention the steep hill you have to do. Although there are carts to help with the luggage and regular trips up and down, it can be tricky. We didnt mind it as much as it was part of all the walking we did in CR anyway, but keep it in mind. The breakfast was ok but the fact that its not buffet does mean longer waits and not necessarily easy if you just wanted to grab something quick to eat. I understand this may be because of all of the animals around, particularly as we saw monkeys one day trying to invade the kitchen.
