Property had great views and was very clean and the staff was very friendly. Our only issue was that the morning that we checked out our water was turned off due to a plumbing leak but we were compensated fairly with a discount on our bill. We would definitely stay here again!

The customer service was amazing! We celebrated our daughter’s 4th birthday with them. The resort made it very special for her by having a special cupcake made for with her name and placed on our bed for when she got back to the room. They were able to bake her a cake that they served with the delicious dinner that was served. Edwin went above and beyond to help our family and introduced our kids to the resident Iguana (Pedro)!! Would recommend this place to anyone.

The property itself is beautiful. However, getting to most restaurants, the national park, or other places in town outside the property requires a car, taxi or use of the resort shuttle. The staff was incredibly helpful though in arranging for taxis or using the hotel shuttle to drop us off at restaurants on the way to their scheduled stops at the national park.

This is an amazing property with a terrific staff. My wife and I had a wonderful time. When we checked in there was a sloth and a macaw right outside our room. We really enjoyed the monkeys. I give them a 10/10. Only negative would be the beach that is within taking distance of the resort. It's a long treacherous walk down a rocky slippery hill where you are eventually met by a couple of unfriendly locals trying to rent you a chair, in our case for $20. We declined. There is sand on the beach but as soon as you hit water it's nothing but rocks, rocks, rocks. Water was great though! Don't let this part deter you, just have them shuttle you to the main beach at Manuel Antonio!

Disliked: Cleanliness
Be aware! Although this property was beautiful, it doesn't make up for the stress and anxiety I've been going through since I stayed here in April. I reached out to management regarding my situation and how they handled it was beyond disappointing. They downplayed my situation and deflected instead of taking responsibility. People travel from all over the world here and it is common for them to be at hotels. Bed bugs bites effect everyone differently and some people get a reaction, while others don't get any. Sometimes it can take days up to a week for the bumps to show up on your skin. I unfortunately got a reaction. On the last night I was here I slept in shorts and this is where they attacked me all over my body. This was the only hotel my family and I stayed at on our trip and I was the unfortunate one to get a bad reaction. I checked our suitcases and did though cleaning to make sure we didn't have any travel back with us. I suffered from severe itchiness, hyperpigmentation and scaring. I have to wear long pants, and apply creams that I have to pay out of pocket for. I have pictures of the bed bug bites all over my body. Please be careful and inspect your hotel room. I don't want any one else to go through what I'm going through!!

The staff was incredibly friendly and kind. The cleaning staff left my girls extra chocolates, made swans on the bed for my 7 yo, showed us sloths, and found us a private boat to go on that would fit my whole family. The free breakfast had a huge variety of things to choose from and was delicious. Everything about this place was amazing.
