Un bel endroit, très agréable.
Pros:

Nous avons particulièrement apprécié le personnel de la réception serviable et amical ainsi que le site verdoyant et calme de l'hôtel. Nous avons été accueillis dès notre arrivée par une famille de singes et un toucan à quelques mètres seulement de la porte de notre chambre. Un très beau couple de aras nichait juste à côté de la piscine. Nous pouvions voir l'océan au loin depuis notre chambre.

Cons:

Les options du petit déjeuner offert étaient très limitées et très de base. Il y a définitivement place pour de l'amélioration ici.

Blissful nature stay
Pros:

We loved this hotel - we had the garden balcony room and we had a sloth sleeping right in front of us on 2 occasions in just a 4 night stay. The pool was blissful and you'll see scarlet macaws nesting in a tree by the pool. We had an issue with our key in the early hours of the morning and Dennys was super responsive and got the issue fixed straight away.

Cons:

Nothing - we wish we'd stayed longer. Only 2 options for breakfast but we didn't mind.

Pros:

The deluxe room was ‘compact’ but attractive and clean. The best thing was the spacious balcony with a variety of seating and stunning view.
Lovely swimming pool with lush planting around it next to the breakfast area. Macaws in the dead palm tree.
Supermarkets and restaurants within walking distance.
Listening to the Manuel Antonio howler monkeys!

Cons:

Traffic noise beyond the pool area.

Really beautiful place, offering wonderful balconied rooms over looking both the sea, trees with loads of wildlife jumpi
Pros:

Great location, beautiful balcony and views. Great to have a pool and poolside beds and shade to relax.

Cons:

No tea or coffee in the room, just a coffee maker. No glass water bottle in the fridge. Poolside towels not waiting in room, which was a shame as the reception is only open between 0900hrs - 1700hrs. There needs to better system in place during non reception operating hours.

We hebben toch wel genoten.
Pros:

De locatie was okay.

Cons:

Als ik de eigenaar was zou ik alles eens goed schoonmaken met een hogedrukreiniger. Dit is w.s. in jaren niet gedaan. Het zou er erg van opknappen. Bij het ontbijt, wat heel saai is, vroeg ik om een glas melk. Dit kon maar dat moest ik wel betalen. Ook was er geen jus of ander drinken dan enkel koffie en water. Heel eerlijk begrijp ik niet waarom zoveel mensen zo enthousiast zijn over dit hotel.

Pros:

Nydelig bassengområde med planter og blomster rundt. Sentralt nær bussforbindelse til strand. Sentralt med restauranter og butikker rett ved. Vår leilighet lå nederst med lite utsikt til havet men fin beplantning. Ingen støy, stille og rolig

Cons:

Kjedelig frokost, amerikansk type, kun kaffe, ikke juice. Området føles veldig amerikansk, flott, men lite personlig

Perfect boutique hotel experience in an otherwise quite touristy part of Costa Rica
Pros:

We booked a Deluxe Double Room w Balcony & Sea View and couldn't have been happier. "Balcony" doesn't do justice to what you actually receive which is a huge sheltered terrace with sofas, rocking chair, table and hammock. The most ideal space to step out to every morning, soak in the view of the Pacific and see the monkeys and macaws who visit the hotel daily.

The pool and grounds are intimate and beautiful and fulfil the promise of the boutique hotel experience. Credit should be paid to the groundskeeping stuff who keep the environment clean, colourful and naturally stunning.

Set back and uphill from the beach so will require transport to access (cab, car, local bus - can walk but it's hard going) but this suited us perfectly as we found the centre of town quite overwhelming and a bit touristy. Plenty of lovely restaurants, cafe and shops within five minutes walk of the hotel so you're far from isolated.

Cons:

It's a small thing but the offer of juice at breakfast would have been welcome - particularly as it is crossed out on the menu so seems to have once been included.
