Great value for family of four! We had two rooms for two adults and two teens. Location was great - two minute walk to Manuel Antonio park, convenience store, souvenir shops. Hotel restaurant - the breakfast that was included was fantastic. We ended up eating dinner there one night and it was good too. Staff - quick responses via WhatsApp. Very helpful. Beach - seven minute walk. Beautiful views ocean view from our rooms and from the restaurant. We saw two different types of monkeys from our room and from the restaurant. Rooms - not the nicest, could use some updates, but the they were clean, cool, and the beds were comfortable.

We loved our stay here!! We had a wonderful view of the ocean from our room as well as the pool! The bar staff was phenomenal and very friendly. Having a pool was fantastic after walking around the hot city and park. The location is perfect, right next to the entrance of the park. It’s very easy to get a ride if you’re looking to go elsewhere for dinner or shopping. The room was just what we needed for our stay , with a little kitchen and counter space in the bathroom. We would absolutely stay here again!

Loved that we had a nice view and it was walking distance to the park and beach. I think the container design is so interesting. The breakfast was delicious. The steps gave a good workout and the golf cart rides were much appreciated.

Well, it’s different staying in a shipping container but they made it very comfortable. The staff was amazing, especially the gentleman at breakfast! The cleaning staff were polite (great job ladies!). Even the unforeseeable guest at breakfast (monkeys) were handled firmly, but with Care making everyone. The only 2 thing that gave it less of an appeal was water pressure, either very lower not having any water at all. I’m not sure if that’s the hotels problem or a city problem. The second is the hill if you’re unable to walk up and down the hill, this is definitely not a hotel for you. Yes they have golf carts, but they’re not there on a regular basis. If you get lucky, you may get a ride up the hill. Most of the time you walk it and ladies and gentlemen it’s a hill straight up.

I loved the staff and the restaurant was really affordable. The pool looked like it could use a little work, but we only went swimming once. I also loved the location and the view. The actual room was a little small as we had to share it with our 2 kids, but the AC was cold and there was a lot of wildlife right outside our room, even a sloth, so that was really cool. The staff was beyond amazing. I would definitely stay there again if I go back to Costa Rica.

The location of the hotel is great - right next to the national park and close to Playa Espadilla. Staff was super friendly. As the hotel is on a steep hill, the hotel offered a transport service up and down. Breakfast was good. The hotel also organised a tour guide for us to guide as through the national park as well as a Catamaran tour. And also monkeys came visit at the pool, which was really cute. All in all a great experience.

Great place and incredibly friendly staff. Amazing location. Less than 5 min to the beach and 2 min to the national park. The hotel has seen its best days (it’s a bit worn) but it was still clean and nice. Amazing pool and restaurant with a breathtaking view of the ocean. Monkeys came to visit several times and some other guests had even seen a sloth from the pool. Would recommend!

This is a comfortable accommodation. The staff is so friendly, the food at the restaurant is delicious and at a great price, and the entrance to Manuel Antonio park is just about a block away. We had monkeys and geckos visiting our balcony. The geckos and rain was louder than I expected but easily ignored with ear plugs. This is not a luxury hotel but it is safe and relatively comfortable. Love the view, it was beautiful!

All you have to do is go to breakfast or sit at the pool… the monkeys will do the rest!! The staff here was great!! From the server’s to the guys that bring you to the beach in the golf cart!! You all made my experience incredible and I thank you for that!! What a great bunch of people!! The hotel is in a very convenient location next to the park and down the street from a gorgeous beach!!! If you’re thinking about staying at this hotel I’ll tell you one thing!!
