Upon our arrival the lobby and views to the ocean caught my breath--they are stunning! There are antiques throughout the common areas which I found to be a nice decorating touch. The hotel is situated in a jungle-like setting with trails to view birds and monkeys. Although the day we wanted to walk on the trail, it was closed due... More

We spent the weekend to celebrate my wife's birthday. The hotel personnel was so special in preparing every detail, from the flowers in the table of the cava where they reserved for our dinner, to the globes with kind messages, candles and flowers in the room. Shirley and all the hotel staff exceeded my expectations, my wife was so pleased!!... More

Wonderful staff, breakfast buffet, rooms, pools, service. A very good option for a stay in quepos area/Manuel Antonio area. When we were there I was sick and the staff was so friendly and careful.

We were located in a garden room. In the early morning we enjoyed coffee on our patio while watching the marvelous butterflies and humming birds feeding on the flowering bushes. After we woke up, by 06:00 Zulu, we had breakfast outside on the restaurant veranda and waited for howler monkeys to start moving. Without fail between 06:00 and 06:30 Zulu... More

Stayed here for 1 night during a FAM trip in April. Rooms were clean and comfortable, food excellent (great sushi) and location near the national park was an added bonus.
