"Great place to stay. As people have mentioned the hills on the property are very steep. It’s also a little dated in the rooms. However if you want some delusion and a great staff it’s a great place to stay. Thanks everyone!"

"Great view of the ocean from the porch. That alone made it worth the stay. It's also within walking distance to a bus stop. It is very basic. The beds are uncomfortable. The noise from the restaurant and bar next door can go on fairly late."

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

In the beautiful hotel we moved to (Hotel Parador) there were toucans, monkeys and giant lizards right up close by our hotel suite window and in the hotel grounds.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Great park. We hired a guide and spotted sloths, deer, howler monkeys, bats, bird life various snakes and frogs. You can finish your tour with a swim at the beach which is picture postcard beautiful.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Worth checking out Manuel Antonio national park with a tour guide; their equipment is invaluable to get a close up view (and photos!) of the animals.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveller

A very touristy overhyped area. There are other nicer more tranquil areas to stay in Costa Rica.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

It’s a great place to visit if you are in costa rica . Combines a national park ,beaches , bars /restaurants and waterfalls, more info on instagram @mihhalis

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

A bit touristy but good place to learn to surf. Most accommodation seems to be on a main road that is a good 15-20 min walk from the beach.
