This place is an amazing hidden gem in Manuel Antonio! It is a perfect stay for anyone looking for unique, chic, extremely clean but simple! Wonderful modern amenities including air condition and a TV but with such beautiful scenery you likely won’t even turn it on, all within this quaint B&B! The staff was kind, communicative and extremely helpful. The food at Ronny’s place restaurant was delicious! Highly recommend for a single or couple looking to experience the views and quaintness of Manuel Antonio.

This place was unbelievable. The view.....I have no words. Great condo. Good food. (Breakfast) not one bad thing I could say. Only be prepared for the seclusion. Nothing around so bring what you might want to eat and drink besides breakfast
