Restaurants in walking distance but far from the busier area of Quepos so it was quiet. But Quepos is only a $1 ride away from the hotel. 3-5minute walk to Manuel Antonio Natl Park which was our main destination. Quiet. Beautiful people. Very nice room.

Amazing staff and perfect location with a short 2 minute walk thru some palm trees to the beach! Will definitely be recommending this place to friends - had to rank the breakfast 4 stars because there were ants crawling on the fruit at the buffet. BUT....it's Costa Rica so....

Staff was super helpful with restaurant recs, arranging park guides, and spa treatments at another hotel. Room was very clean, facilities well kept and the atmosphere around the pool/bar/restaurant very peaceful and beautiful! The location is great because it’s at a dead end in the road so it’s quieter than other properties in the area.

This property was stunning, our room overlooking the pool was amazing. Lots of wildlife on property, bed was comfy, nesspresso machine in our room was a lovely touch. 5 min walk to beach or Manuel Antonio park. Lots of restaurants to walk to. Clean beach towels were provided each day as well. The front desk also helped with organizing our excursions and we were picked up on property. The restaurants breakfast was delicious and huge and staff were friendly and prompt. Cons: don’t order their pizza.. seemed like it was a frozen grocery store pizza but kids would like it!! We will be staying there again if we go back!

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel is incredible! It is two properties that are within steps of each other. The pools at both are incredible and have large cabanas with fans. The bar area is so nice, we ended up here most evenings. The food at the restaurant is incredible! You get a menu for breakfast, along with some food and drinks put out as a buffet. The breakfast options are incredible, and some of the best food we ate on the trip. Our room was cleaned promptly every day and was left with a towel animal we looked forward to. The staff is super friendly and helpful, as we stopped in multiple times to ask questions. In my opinion, you could not have a better location! You are steps to the beach and the national park. Anywhere else in Manuel Antonio would definitely require a car, but we got everything we wanted right outside the hotel! We are so excited to return!
