We have just returned from spending 6 days at this hotel based on the photos the hotel submitted on the web. These photos are very deceptive. It looks as though the pool is close to the hotel while the fact is that it is down a fairly steep hill and not at all as close to what the photo says. We did like the accommodations since we had an entire floor since we had opted for a 3 bedroom suite. The restaurant on the property which also was reached on a hill was extremely poorly maintained. We had an included breakfast buffet which never varied and I had suffered from stomach distress after eating some of the offering. The maid service was at best just average. To navigate the grounds one would really need a cart which should have been furnished by the hotel.The listing of tours they suggested which we used was not all the best and was costly. But in order to get anywhere one would have to order a taxi. We were ripped off on one ride since we did not ask how much this fare would be. We did complain to the hotel and they said they would call the officials since we remembered the cab number.

Spent two nights with our three kids here. We almost couldn't belive how spacious and modern our suite was. Gorgeous, top of the line fixtures and decorating. Staff at the front desk were helpful and courteous. Pool is nice but a little bit far of a walk. Only real downside is that we didn't go down to the beach because it was too far down the hill. However, it is very easy to go exploring other beaches if you have a car. All in all, we didn't really like Manuel Antonio that much compared to other places in Costa Rica like Santa Teresa or Tamarindo, but if you are going to go, this is a great place to stay.

Came here last October with one of my best friends and loved our stay. It was off-season, so we only shared the property with a few other guests. At most times the pool, restaurant, and beach were empty and for our sole enjoyment. The suite was beautiful - spacious 3 bedroom with nice finishings and a lovely balcony. We felt right at home, and given the beautiful surroundings and great decoration job, I really wished it were! The staff was very friendly and helpful at all times - helped us carry bags, book tours, call taxis, and make recommendations. The pool was beautiful and the breakfast that was included in our stay was fresh and yummy. What I loved most was that it was such a classy, top-notch place to stay yet didn't feel kitschy or touristy (probably because they were supposed to be condos). The one thing to note is that the private beach is a down a windy road, about a 10 minute walk, and a little rocky for my taste. However, the walk to the beach is beautiful in itself - we saw a group of monkeys on our way!! Also, you can ask for a ride back up to the hotel if you don't want to walk uphill on the way back. And note that the beautiful beaches of Manuel Antonio are only minutes away by taxi, so the rocky beach certainly had no negative effects on our time there. Thanks for providing us with such a wonderful stay, Los Altos!

I am here now and LOVE this place! Incredibly beautiful with a wonderful staff! I will do a more complete review when I'm not so busy enjoying myself, but for now, let me just say this place is top shelf, and the staff is a big part of why it is so great. Special note to the owners.... I hope you pay your staff well.....they deserve it!
