“Great Customer Service!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 2, 2012

The location is excellent. A short walk to the Manuel Antonio Park. Yafat at the front desk goes over and above to accommodate your needs. Also they have a great restaurant and pool with bright coloured cabinas.

Cabinas Espadilla meets your needs, when visiting Manuel Antonio..

“Great Location...Terrific Pool...Great Beach Walk”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 22, 2012

This hotel is a bit on the modest side, but quite comfortable and the location just about cannot be beat. We stayed here two nights when we came to the park. We found the hotel as we were driving by because alot of the hotels are on the main drag and it is quite busy. This end near the part is nice because you can walk on the beach at night. The pool was very nice and warm which I love! There are some nice tourist shops across the street. Across the street closer to the entrance is a hotel that has a great breakfast! I would stay here again.

Room Tip: I picked on the beach because you just cannot get much closer. We stayed near the pool which I love...

“Nice place to stay near the park entrance”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 18, 2012

This was a great little reasonably priced place to stay within walking distance of the park entrance and the restaurants near the beach. Good service, nice pool, set back from the road. Breakfast is across the street at the Espadilla Hotel. We really liked the location. Room was basic, nothing fancy. Would be good for a family. Howlers started howling about 5:30am.

“Home away from home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 9, 2012

We arrived without a reservation as we were looking for a place that fit all our needs. Close to everything, safe, clean,comfy bed,,pool,good food and price. This place has it all and more. Jasef and Mellina are long time employees and a Costa Rican family owns the business. The property is tidy and steps away from the beach but still private. All staff is friendly and the cabinas share facilities with its hotel just a minute down the street, with yet another pool with swimup bar. Restaurant is like 5 star and it served up the best fettuchini alfredo I ever ate.We left for Dominoco for a night but are right back here again and they fit us in even for just one night. Must leave heading back to San Jose and home but will for sure return right back here next trip. Best stay yet on our trip of two weeks in C.R.

Room Tip: Kitchenettes are availiable
