“Awesome location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 18, 2013

The Hotel is at the end of the road, just a couple minute walk to the beach and some awesome sunsets, it so convenient to the area, the owners are very pleasant, the bus to Quepos stops right in front, prices are reasonable, the restaurant is great, I just love to have a cup of coffee in the morning and listening to the surf break on the beach.

Room Tip: I like the ones facing the beach on the second floor, avoid the other side

“Last minute”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 28, 2012

We found this hotel after driving around a bit and stayed for 3 nights. If you pay cash they give you a better price. Very very good location as the entrance and exit for the park is right next to the hotel. We saw others that had to drive down the hill to get to the beaches and park and parking was just a mess.
The hotel itself seemed very clean considering the location. The hallways were mopped a couple of times a day, and we got new towels/sheets everyday.
Only downside is having to drive to the hill to go to restaurants, but other than that was great!

“Charming, Friendly and Location, Location, Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 14, 2012

You cannot beat the location and value of this quaint little family owned hotel which is literally steps from the beach and the Manuel Antonio National Rain Forest. The staff is very friendly and accommodating and the ceviche in the cafe is superb. Don't waste your time on a $60 "Monkey Tour". A family of monkeys visits the cafe every day between 4:30 and 5:00. Buy them some bananas and you'll have new friends for life!

Room Tip: Second floor rooms on the beach side have an incredible view.

“Location, location, location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 30, 2012

Great location right at the exit of the National Park. Great parking in the back, clean rooms, and reasonable prices for rooms. No swimming pool was a negative, but you are across the street from the beach/ocean. The price, parking, and location are the reasons we stay here.

Room Tip: Ocean view

I stayed here back in 2010 for school and I had a blast! The hotel is located right on the beach which features tiki bars and awesome surfing! The owners of the hotel were so nice and helpful. I would most def stay here again!
