Beautiful property in only a few minutes walk to Manuel Antonio. Quick and easy check in and out. Only a few rooms so it never seems crowded. Surrounded by trees, and you’ll hear/see birds and if lucky even monkeys.

Absolutely loved this hotel and location. The room was perfect and I loved the pool. The staff were amazing- so friendly and helpful. The pizza and smoothies by the pool were so good. I really can’t say enough about how wonderful this hotel is and the location is perfect.

Nathan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A wonderful little hotel in a great location. It was a 3-4 minute walk to both the beach and the national park. I would use again. The staff was very courteous and helpful. Breakfast was very good. I even had the pizza one night (they have a wood burning pizza oven) and it was very good. Parking can be a bit tight. I believe there were about 10 spots but it always seemed to work itself out.

I stay the week before X-mas

A bit small but very functional and neat as a boutique hotel, The Price could be a bit better. The breakfast is really good! The day tours and National park visit are highly recommended Pura vida!

Nice place

Lovely comfortable quiet small hotel. Nice breakfast out by the pool. You can easily walk from this hotel to the Manuel Antonio park entrance. It would be very smart to do that and avoid the parking confusion.

Wonderful accomodations. Great A/C, breakfast, pool, and service. Monkeys hanging around by the pool every afternoon!! Staff couldn't have been more helpful or accomodating. Easy walking distance to National Park and local beach.

Rebecca, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Safe, clean, quiet, polite staff. We loved being right next to the National Park! I read somewhere that this hotel is for adults, but there were kids. We didn't care because they were very quiet and cute. If I go back to that area, I'm sure I'll stay there again!
Kattia, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic stay exceeding expectations. Pool was beautiful and relaxing, and the poolside service was even better. The bed was extremely comfy! The space is super clean and well cared for. Really loved this place. Only wish would be the restaurant staying open a bit later (which it might during busier season).
Chelsea, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff was extremely friendly and the location was great. However, the bed and pillows were very uncomfortable. The pillows are too bulky which makes it hard to find a good spot to sleep. The shower had shampoo but no conditioner.
