9.8/10 Exceptional! (65 reviews)
Firstly, the staff are what makes this place shine. Oscar, David and Andy made our stay very enjoyable. They demonstrated excellent service and were accommodating.
The food was excellent but the choices were limited and the menu didn’t change during the 8 days we were there. I would have liked to have more options. We did have a mini bar and in-room snacks but there is no price list so be careful in what you consume or you can get hit with an extra bill. Fortunately we had a car and were able to have numerous dining options in Santa Teresa.
The grounds are lush and beautiful. We stayed in the casita called Ultra. The casita was large with an attached infinity pool. The view was spectacular. The interior was nice but areas show wear and tear. Particularly the pool where tiles are missing and the pool was not cleaned while we were there. The main pool by the restaurant seemed to be ok but we didn’t use it. Overall, the room was tidy but far from pristine. There is minimal lighting in the bathroom and no natural sunlight so it was dark. Lighting in general in the casita was poor.
The biggest problem for us were the 131 stairs we had to negotiate to get to/from our room. I was not warned ahead of time and because my husband has had a stroke and doesn’t walk well, it was very difficult. Additionally, there is not enough lighting along the stair path and is not safe because there are nothing to hold onto. This is not a place for anyone with orthopedic issues.

9/10 Wonderful! (14 reviews)
The property has a beautiful view and within a very short walk you reach a wonderful and almost virgin beach.
Our room was spacious and had a big terrace with a view to the beautiful jungle. Guest attentiont and hospitality was poor. One night we wanted to stay in the lobby and chill with friends but the night guard turned the lights off at 10 pm.
It´s a very nice and new place but don´t expect a hotel, its a bed and breakfast.

5/5 - Excellent
Verified traveler
Always get a guide. Otherwise you will miss many opportunities of seeing wildlife at its best
4/5 - Good
Josh&Kinsey
We recommend visiting on a weekday because we went on a Holiday Weekend and it was extremely busy. However Iguana Tours split up the adults without kids and the adults with kids so we still had a pleasant experience admiring the wildlife and the gorgeous beaches.
5/5 - Excellent

Go early and definitely have a guided tour. Great beach at the end of the tour.
5/5 - Excellent

Stay on the main trail to the beach to see the most animals. During the dry season the waterfall is bone dry and not worth the hike down its trail. Take plenty of water and pack a lunch but keep it protected because the monkeys will take it. The trail to Cathedral Point is great and worth the hike. The wildlife in it's natural habitat is phenomenal. The beaches (Manuel Antonio and Espadilla Sur) are beautiful. The water is warm. Lovely area. BEAUTIFUL!
4/5 - Good
Tim
It will be crowded during busy season so be mentally prepared, it’s the most popular park in country for visitors. Also can't bring food in even if going to beach
