"Very clean, bungalows are great and food is decent. Pool is good too. Just be aware that there are a lot of spiraling stairs to get around the place. That was challenging especially with rain. Otherwise great place to stay. Close to good restaurants and Manuel Antonio beach."

10/10 Excellent
"We had a lovely experience at this hotel from the moment we checked in until we left. Staff was friendly and so helpful in giving us tips for where to go and how to best see some of the animals. On property we saw monkeys, iguanas, agoutis, geckos, raccoons, scarlet macaws, and we just missed a sloth at breakfast one morning. The view from the top floor is beautiful and we spent a rainy morning playing cards up there and enjoying the view. The staff at the spa was great and my nails are still looking great a week later! Breakfast (included) was delicious and the sushi was also very good (and very large portions!). Overall we’d definitely return!"

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."
