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.

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!

10000/10 Javier was a wonderful host, would highly recommend. He was very accommodating, very helpful with local suggestions. We had issues finding the location, he even went to go find us. Absolutely wonderful experience. The dome was one of the coolest experiences we’ve had yet.
