The place is new, well-maintained, and in a great location and the host was incredibly helpful. We loved watching the birds from the pool, the freshly prepared breakfast every morning, and that there are only 4 rooms. We were able to park right outside the compound on the quiet side alley and it was walking distance to the national park and restaurants.

Right by the beach and secluded and quiet with great wildlife. Place has strong fans and good windows and air flow. Hammock outside with a sloth and monkeys in trees. Carlos is the best host ever and goes out of his way to make his guests feel at home. I had a back injury while staying with him and he bought groceries and drove me to places and after I scratched my car helped fix it and take me to a local body shop. His kindness and help will stay with me forever. A true angel.

We loved the fact we were right on the beaches doorstep! We were able to walk everywhere as its in an excellent location. We also had lovely surroundings and a great surprise visit from the monkeys and iguanas. We loved that we had a little kitchen to store our food etc it helped a lot, when we wanted to stay in and have drinks and snacks and not worry about the drinks getting warm. 😉 Excellent customer service and cleanliness.

Right on the beach but easy living so your tents not full of sand. Quiet, safe parking, little shop and 2 restaurants nearby, great breakfast, very friendly, helpful staff. Sloths and monkeys right outside our door. I walked a mile & a half down the beach and saw nobody.

Perfect location. right next to the entry for Manuel Antonio National Park and minutes from the beach and main shops/restaurants on the beach. Easy to use the local bus up to the main town too. Be careful of the local white-faced monkeys who will raid your balcony early in the morning if you leave anything outside! Lots of friendly local iguana as well

The hotel is close to the nice beach. We had an ocean view room, but you don’t have neither a good view on the ocean or on the beach. Generally, the staff were friendly, rooms were nice and clean as well. Breakfast was okay, early bird breakfast wasn’t possible, in other hotels throughout our trip it was never a problem. Positive, free water refill.

Beautiful spacious apartment in an amazing setting right on the beach front. I arranged all the bookings for our tour of Costa Rica and this was the only time when we entered the apartment the other three people all said ‘Wow - this is amazing’. Everything about the apartment was high quality - bedding, towels, furniture, bathrooms, equipment provided.

We stayed in a two bedroom ocean view condo and it was spacious, modern and comfortable. The pool is a nice temperature and large, the food is very good, and the staff are friendly and professional. The breakfast was amazing. We loved the location, right on the beach. Everything you need is at the hotel
