"I sent my daughter and a friend here for college graduation present. They and I could not be more pleased with the experience. My daughter absolutely loved all the scenery and animals she got to see. The hotel was beautiful and very accommodating taking excellent care of them while they stayed. Hotel transport was easy and comfortable for the journey from San Jose and back. 10/10 highly recommend!!"
"Nice experience. Hotel is a little dated, but the value was good, the employees were friendly, and the location is great - close to restaurants, amazing sunsets, and Manuel Antonio. The pool feels super secluded, and the monkeys put on a show for us!! Definitely recommend!"
"El hotel está frente a una playa y tiene un atajo para llegar rápido al parque Manuel Antonio. Puedes dejar tu vehículo estacionado en el hotel. Cuando sales del parque puedes usar la regadera en el jardín y los baños para cambiarte de ropa. Muy conveniente."
