We had great stay at Si Como No! The staff was very warm and communicative in advance of our arrival, especially with booking activities. Check-in was very thorough and efficient and they even provided us with a surprise room upgrade! The staff around the hotel is very friendly and ready to help with any ask. The property is very well-maintained and clean, though some areas appearing more modernized than others; our room felt a little old in its finishes/decor, but it was very spacious, comfortable and completely functional... and it had a SUPER view of the ocean. The pools are quite nice as well. The restaurant serves delicious food with very attentive staff; the included breakfast offering is tasty and dinner was excellent on one night. The location is also very convenient to many fantastic restaurants for meals and coffee shops. The gift shop adjacent to the property is very nice though a bit pricey with higher quality items produced by local artists and farms. Parking fills-up quickly as there are only so many available spots at the hotel, but there is extra parking at the lot right next door and we had zero issues. Si Como No enhanced our time in Manuel Antonio and highly-recommend.
