Ronny and his staff were so kind and accommodating and made this stay absolutely worth it. We were welcomed with a cocktail and had a custom ordered tasty breakfast every morning. The room itself is small (and no door to the bathroom) but it is all you really need. The secluded rooftop patio was our favorite place to be during sunsets. The restaurant is bustling but the noise dies down early in the night. The property is on top of a hill (car required) and is about a 10 minute drive to everything. Thank you for hosting us!

8.4/10 Very Good! (112 reviews)
Absolutely beautiful place! The property is even more stunning in person, surrounded by nature with such a peaceful and romantic atmosphere. What really made our stay special, though, was the staff. Everyone was incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure we had an amazing experience. We stayed in the Sultana Tent with the private pool and I highly recommend it! It was beautiful, private, spacious, and such a unique experience. Having our own pool surrounded by the jungle made it feel like our own little tropical escape. From the moment we arrived until we left, the attention to detail and service were exceptional. We felt completely taken care of. If you’re visiting Manuel Antonio and want something different from a typical hotel, this place is truly special. We would absolutely stay here again!

We stayed in one of the bungalows with the hanging net and absolutely loved it! The bungalow was beautiful, cozy and surrounded by nature, and the hanging net quickly became our favorite place to relax. We traveled with our pet, who is basically our son 😂, and I cannot say enough about how wonderfully the staff treated him. They treated him like an absolute king! It meant so much to us to stay somewhere that didn’t just accept him, but genuinely made him feel welcome. The entire team was warm, thoughtful and incredibly attentive throughout our stay. We felt at home from the moment we arrived. Such a beautiful and unique place.
