"We had a wonderful week long stay at Shana. Our 7 year old daughter had a blast at the pool and the beach nearby (hotel has direct access). We saw so much wildlife right from our balcony! Staff were very nice and helpful and assisted us with making plans in the area. Shana also set us up with transportation to/from the airport. We appreciated the hospitality!"

"Beautiful Hotel. Excellent service! Parked and immediately greeted by the host who called a shuttle to take us up to the lobby. On the way we stopped to see a sloth in the trees as well as a pair of macaws. They took our luggage and guided us into the restaurant with amazing views. They had pre prepared cocktails for us, a eucalyptus wet towel, and went over their amenities and services they provide. The room was very spacious, clean, incredibly comfortable .pool was great. We saw about a dozen spider moneys in the trees 20’ from the pool area. Restaurant service was top notch and the food was delicious. Breakfast was 10/10! Highly recommend. I would absolutely go back. They also provide free shuttle service to Manuel Antonio park and the beach every hour of the day "

"Excellent "

"We stayed at the forest view room and the view was absolutely breathtaking, and the beds were comfortable. It was a pleasure watching the sunrise from your bed every morning before excursions. The staff were welcoming and very competent. The hotel is a boutique style so the staff will know you by name and drive you with their golf cart from/to the main gate whenever. For all service all you have to do is text them on WhatsApp and they are there in less than 5mins. The hotel is a park as well so you will spot animals. We got to see sloth, monkeys, and macaws. We also zip lined the park, which again the staff can help you book. They also arranged our Manuel Antonio Park tour. They have multiple hanging bridges to visit. In conclusion, quoting my teenage son, this hotel is AMAZING! They have everything. "

"Everything was perfect, especially the food at the Galeria restaurant! "

"This hotel is conveniently located, close to restaurants, supermarkets and stores. Transportation is easy, also. The rooms are a bit on the smaller side but adequate for the price. Breakfast is delicious! "

"We recently stayed at El Faro and had a fantastic experience. The hotel staff were incredibly friendly and always quick to answer any questions we had. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and well taken care of. One of the highlights was the breathtaking view from our balcony—it was the perfect spot to relax after a day of exploring. Mornings were a treat, too, thanks to the delicious breakfasts served each day. The location truly can’t be beat. It’s just a short walk to the beach, shops, restaurants, and the entrance to Manuel Antonio National Park. We had read about the hike up the hill to reach the hotel and were a bit concerned, but it turned out to be easier than expected—and even enjoyable (our group’s ages were 11-58)! We were lucky enough to spot a sloth in the trees along the way. For those who prefer not to walk, golf cart rides were always available. A fun surprise were the capuchin monkeys—nicknamed “La Mafia” for a reason! They’re very entertaining to watch, but definitely keep your distance and your food hidden. All in all, El Faro was a perfect base for our group Rolf two families. We would stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Manuel Antonio. "
