Pleasant one night stay here. Friendly staff

Pros: Nice place. Felt very safe. Good pool. Staff very friendly and helpful. It was very quiet when we were there -not many other guests, so can't comment on noise in rooms etc. We didn't see much wildlife but stayed only one stormy night so this might explain it. Nice gardens and a trail but again we didn't get to do the trail due to thunderstorm. Restaurant was not open in the evenings when we were there due to renovations but 2 sodas and a restaurant within walking distance. Little else near by if you are staying a while without a car but it suited our one night stop off on route further south.

Cons: A little remote if no car.

Experiencing the wildlife, variety of birds, squirrel monkeys, iguanas, butterflies, plants, made it better than our exp

Pros: Spacious, clean, comfortable, well-cared for gardens and outdoor area. Staff really kind, helpful, polite. Access to rainforest trails and great diversity of wildlife.

Cons: A bit bland decor in the room. Evening meal not the best. Noise of the traffic. However, all in all a lovely experience.

Wonderful Place

Pros: We loved our stay at La Foresta; the rooms were lovely and comfy, with good AC and wonderful showers/toiletries. The grounds are gorgeous and we saw iguanas, monkeys, and all kinds of butterflies. The Titi canpopy tour that goes right from the hotel was brilliant, and the pool area was lovely and clean - we never struggled to get a sun bed. The staff were wonderful, especially Ivan at the front desk who couldn't do enough for us - even decorating the room for our daughters birthday! All in all, lovely place in a very convenient location

Good value accommodation

Pros: Superb gardens, beautifully looked after. Very clean pool. Rooms spacious.

Cons: Restaurant prices on the high side

Pros: -the breakfast was various; -room was big, also the bathroom; -love the amenities they provide for bath; -cleaning everyday; -have a forest “attached” with some trails and animals (parrots, monkeys etc); -they provide free shuttle to Manuel Antonio park, 3 times daily;

Cons: -the bigest issue is the location: right near main national road so you hear all cars and big trucks everywhere anytime… so was very very dificult to sleep/rest; -the AC is directed right above bed-it is not possible use it when sleeping; -at the breakfast you can’t take directly from buffet, need await for a guy to pick everything for you-is a bit awkward to insist for more omletes or fruits; -pricing at the restaurant/bar are very high-around 25-30 usd each menu course so expect to pay 60-70 usd/person for a dinner there;

Pros: Very nice relaxed atmosphere. The forest trails were good fun . Restaurant staff stood out , they were all really nice friendly people and the food was great . If you have a car it is a nice easy drive down to quepos or mannuel Antonio.

Cons: Not much . A coffee machine or kettle in the room would be really handy as the restaurant does not open until 6.30am .

Very comfortable and enjoyable stay. It was one of our best places to stay at Costa Rica

Pros: Very comfortable room, beautiful gardens and rainforest with plenty of wildlife. Great New Year party and fantastic experience on zip line.

Cons: Food was ok, but it is a general problem for whole Costa Rica dining out experience
