Wonderfull hotel. Staff is friendly and helpfull, room is clean, delicious variety of breakfast, bonus - coffee every morning. Even on the balcony of your room you will not be bored. Ocean view, hummingbirds, monkeys, night sounds of the jungle ... you come in Manuel Antonio to get these impressions, aren't you? There are not many hotels where the reality is better than the beautiful brochures. Of course, some people may not like that there isn't parking for cars, that it's too hard to walk in these hills, that the same menu for lunch, that the stores are too far, that you can not rest with their children in this hotel... We traveled without children, lived for 4 days, walked mostly downhill, along the scenic road to the town beach, was meeting monkeys, sloths, squirrels and birds, everyday we spent time on the beach or at the national park and returned to our hill by bus. Everything was just perfect.

Lovely place. Such nice people willing to help. Good food. The rooms were very clean and each day the maid decorated our room in some very fun way with fresh flowers and towel animals, twice she filled the tub with colored water. Monkeys came to our porch in the morning and sometimes visited the pool area.Bed was great.The pillows were too big and the blanket was too heavy but we made it work. The recommended places to eat were exceptional. MA is a fun place and lots to do if you like tours and are active. If not, you can hang at the hotel and swim and read - it is very peaceful. The beach for Issimo is a hike down and then back up a mountain and it's not that great. Everything else must be reached by cab or car. You can't walk the road, it is too windy and dangerous and also all up hill to get to anything. Great restaurants in town, Agua Azul - a favorite. The park and public beach are gorgeous. Nice trip.

While staying elsewhere in Costa Rica, we took an excursion to Manuel Antonio and stayed at Issimo one night. Friendly service, we were met with glasses of iced tea and an offer to check our bags while our room was being prepared. Breakfast was included in the rate, and we also had lunch there -- both times, the food was exceptional. The "spa" is a very small room with massage tables, but the massage was a great deal and very relaxing. The rooms are large and very clean, and a small pot of coffee was delivered to our door in the morning. VERY comfortable bed. Didn't spend enough time in the area to check out other hotels, but would recommend Issimo as a very nice option.
