9.8/10 Exceptional! (6 reviews)
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.
