Stunning hotel!!

Had a great time at the hotel. You really don’t need to go to Manuel Antonio park as you can see macaus, parrots, humming birds,sloths, Tucans around the hotel it self. Beautiful sunrise and sunsets by the pool. One of the best hotels we stayed in. Will come back for sure. Great for families.

Spent 3 nights at this hotel. Room was clean, but needs further update in terms of furnishings but we didn’t mind. The view of the ocean from the room & dining area is SPECTACULAR! The staff was very attentive and the food wonderfully delicious! Would recommend staying here on your trip to Quepos.

Liked: Cleanliness
The hotel offers the best views in town and boasts a beautiful pool along with well-maintained property grounds. However, the building is quite old, and the rooms feel more like hospital rooms than cozy accommodations. It would be a nice touch if bottled water were provided in the room and if wine glasses were available instead of paper cups. Additionally, the bathroom lacked shower gel and hair conditioner, and the towels were stained. Lastly, we had the worst dinner of our 10-day trip to Costa Rica at their restaurant.

Gorgeous views, but ...

Positives: the views, the views, the views! Breakfast selections and service were excellent. Loved that breakfast was included. Lunch and drink selections were great. Enjoyed the pools and location. Negatives: The furniture in our room was very uncomfortable...bed was extremely from and had a wide wooden frame around the mattress which made it difficult to get in and out, futon/couch was overly soft and hard to get out of, chairs both in the room and on the balcony were inexpensive plastic chairs and not what we expected for the cost. Towels were clean but well worn. One hand towel and no washcloths provided in room. Our garden view included a view of the roof and backyard of another residence...which was fine but the pictures were deceiving making it seem much more private.
