Beautiful property in only a few minutes walk to Manuel Antonio. Quick and easy check in and out. Only a few rooms so it never seems crowded. Surrounded by trees, and you’ll hear/see birds and if lucky even monkeys.

Heaven in manual Antonio.

Very enjoyable hotel experience. The staff was extremely friendly and very helpful helping us get taxis or a book tours. Breakfast was nice and pizza at the hotel by the pool was very good. On the hotel grounds, we saw frogs, iguana, and many types of birds.

A wonderful little hotel in a great location. It was a 3-4 minute walk to both the beach and the national park. I would use again. The staff was very courteous and helpful. Breakfast was very good. I even had the pizza one night (they have a wood burning pizza oven) and it was very good. Parking can be a bit tight. I believe there were about 10 spots but it always seemed to work itself out.

Nice, tranquil hotel. Centrally located, in walkable distance to the beach, restaurants and Manual Antonio Park. Very quite and safe even though it is located right off the main road. Very friendly and helpful staff. One caveat is parking. Very tight and impossible to accommodate a large SUV

This was my 8th time traveling to Costa Rica and this hotel was definitely one of my favorites! Perfect location for walking and great free breakfast options. The pool is nice and we got to watch monkeys while sipping a drink. 10/10! I will be back, thank you!

Cons-a Towel rack was about to fall out of the wall, wall plugs in some areas could not get to. Pros- towals where available for the beach, and the pizza they serve at the pool where great, 4 min walk to beach and the area was great, Manuel Antonio park tour is a must, it is beautiful and all different animals where incredible, but the best was the employees at the hotel where awesome.
