Service was great although there was a tendency to gouge for trivial services (ie salt and lime on a beer glass was an upcharge, Evian bottles of water $9 each). Bartending, waiters and golf cart drivers were definitely the saving grace. Our room A/C system was marginal. ![Free Breakfast except coffee. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e968eca1-64e6-4e26-96ea-fdc1c2baf574-1774283268200.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0d793335-d9d2-41b9-8c51-5aff67f71665-1774283268208.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Pool View ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/caaeec22-754e-4202-820f-a83975611e9e-1774283269749.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Monkeys on property](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7c1664db-5ca9-41e8-bc53-4ba000cad4ef-1774283268778.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Earl Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Candace Dec 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Room, pool, and staff were amazing.

However for the price, the hotel is lacking in some amenities that would make it a 5-star stay. Also, everything was about twice the price of what they reasonably should be charging. For example, the burger was USD$45, which as a New Yorker and frequent traveler, is one of the most expensive burgers I’ve ever seen! ##### Jessica Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heather Jul 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The food and hotel was incredible.

They have a salt water pool with a bar, and another regular pool. They have one restaurant (you can order food to the pool) and the food is amazing. The beach was rough and had a lot of rocks, but they have nice beaches that aren’t far. The employees are mostly nice, a few of them need to be fired, but most are good. The place is on a mountain, so you walk on inclined around the hotel. The spa was terrible, it’s over priced and you will not relax, we left more tense than we went in. You will see monkeys and nice birds on the property, so if you are a fan of wild life you will be happy. ##### Juan Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2026 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Alejandro Nov 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We liked the proximity to the National Park. Food and drinks are overpriced at this property. For the level of hotel should at least offer water in the rooms. Other than that its a nice Hotel, I would recommend it for people coming to Manuel Antonio Park. ##### Alejandro Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jesus May 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful location and nature. ##### Jesus Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bharati Mar 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Peaceful resort, perfect after a stressful period of time. ##### Bharati Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lorna Jul 13, 2025 The property was beautiful!
