Si Como No Resort, Spa and Wildlife Refuge

Si Como No Resort, Spa and Wildlife Refuge

10/10 Excellent
"Very nice hotel in Manuel Antonio. Well located, excellent views, nice pool and helpful staff. Lots of comms via WhatsApp to help arrange tours, transport, etc - very helpful, particularly Walkiria. Food in both restaurants was very good and service was also great. A little on the expensive side in the restaurants vs nearby options but they ran some good promotions while we were there."

"The room was spacious with ample tables and drawers. AC works well. We love the pool and amenities such as walking trail, pickleball court, drop off service to biesanz beach. The food at the restaurant was too salty for us and rather pricy for the portion they gave."

10/10 Excellent
"I don't even know where to start. This place was PERFECTION! The staff in the entire hotel was incredibly friendly and helpful, I feel that they are all our friends now. The food at the restaurant is amazing, people come visit from outside the hotel just to dine at the restaurant. The pools are sooo nice, and that is a highlight for me because my husband hates getting into pools, I literally had never seen him enjoy a pool the was he did in this hotel. We didn't have to share it with other guests when we went in and it just feels very peaceful and the views are breathtaking. The day we checked out I literally thought he would not get out of the pool so we could leave. The servers at the restaurant and pool bar were very nice and we enjoyed having conversations with them, Abraham, Anthony and Ricardo. The bell guys, the tour guide, our concierge, it just feels like they're all a family. The room was super comfortable and spacious, we had a view even from the shower with a giant window, plus a balcony and a huge rooftop for ourselves. They offer a complimentary tour of the property that is about 6 acres of preserved forest where you can see monkeys, sloths, scarlet macaws, among many other birds and species."
