“fantastic place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 4, 2013

When we arrived my wife walked around the hotel and said "wow it's beautiful". The hotel is very clean. The room Jr. suite, has an amazing veiw of the ocean and jungle. You really do see monkeys out your window of your room.Dixon was incharge of food and drinks at the hotel. Professional, positive attatude, a great asset for the hotel. Helpful friendly front desk girls. If you are looking for a hotel that has small quiet atmosphere you will not be disapointed with this hotel. We loved it.

“Absolutely perfect!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 24, 2013

A friend and I stayed at this 'couples' resort. We were very comfortable, as the hotel is really for adults, not just couples. The hotel itself is beautiful. The rooms are clean and the decor is very unique. The 'open' shower is not a problem. The view from our room (109) was stunning! The staff are fantastic, and could not do enough for us. The restaurant was wonderful - the food excellent, whether breakfast or dinner. All in all, I cannot say enough about this hotel. I would absolutely stay here again, and would certainly recommend it to others! Luxury amongst paradise!!

Room Tip: There are only a few rooms in this hotel. Each one is fantastic!

“Nice couples retreat”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 19, 2013

Very peaceful and quiet. Rooms were amazing. A few of the staff made our stay very memorable. Our bartender GATO went out of his way to make our stay special and became a good friend. David the cook was amazing, as well as the girls at the front desk. The only thing the Issimo lacked was that they closed the bar at 7pm and there was absolutely no night time entertainment. Also, if you wanted to go on the many early tours you never got breakfast. I highly recommend Ronnie's Place for dinner. It's a short walk to the private beach, don't under estimate it. The snorkelling there is pretty good, same place all the tours take you, can dive for lobster and oysters. They have snorkelling rentals on the beach, but if you want a 2 way snorkel bring your own. It's about a 15 minute walk uphill to a grocery store, or a 10 minute cab ride to either quepos or manual antonio. We used Safari Tours through the hotel, did Atv, mangrove kayaking, manual antonio national park, this company is top notch and what a blast.

Dear Carl Z,
Thank you for writing a review on our property.
We are so glad to hear that our staff made your stay - at our hotel-, friendly and comfortable.
To guarantee intimacy, elegance and relax to our guest's romantic escapes, we don't have night entertainment on site.
Just one thing we would like to point out: our breakfast is served starting at 6:30 AM, and you can choose between buffet (self service) and “a la carte” style. That's why we don't understand what you mean by “...you never got breakfast.” Probably your tour (sport fishing or bird watching) started before our breakfast time.

Again thank you for visiting our hotel, and we hope to have you back soon!

¡¡¡¡Hasta la próxima y Pura Vida!!!

“comfort and unity with nature”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 18, 2013

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.

“Peaceful, beautiful, great service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 17, 2013

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.
