Lovely stay, enjoyed myself and easy access to the beach.
Pros:

Clean and quiet with a good view and a monkey highway that provides a lot of entertainment

Cons:

It is very much geared to people with a car which is good but there is not much help getting advice or booking tours through the hotel.

We had a great time
Pros:

Location is perfect, the host is super nice, we liked the pool, views and the nature around, we could walk to be beach everyday and we also walked directly to the National Park

Cons:

Some equipment is a bit old but I think it’s to be expected since Manuel Antonio is very expensive in general

Amazing views and could easily have stayed a fortnight here
Pros:

It was clean and comfortable and the view was amazing, air conditioning was great inside and even our balcony had a fan which made sitting out there looking for whales and dolphins in the bay pleasurable even at the hottest point of the day. Well equipped little kitchen - highly recommend - to our delight and everyone else staying the manager knocked on the door to let us know a sloth and her baby were making their way across the property - special moment

Cons:

We had booked two apartments at the same time and naturally assumed they would be together however upon arrival we were as far apart as possible, also just a warning regarding the swimming pool in that there could be many stairs to go down or up to access it and the depth of the pool is not child friendly

Beautiful views, great location
Pros:

A basic but comfortable villa with everything you need for a short stay. The best thing about my villa was the views from the balcony and hammocks to relax in overlooking the beautiful gardens and pacific coast. There’s lots of wildlife to watch and the monkeys visit frequently. I was especially treated to a sloth and her baby passing through the property, a wonderful experience.
Conveniently located a short drive from the National Park, this was a good value stay

Pros:

Emplacement
Vue

Cons:

Parking difficile : mon emplacement était partiellement occupé par un autre véhicule qui dépassait de sa place restreinte. J'ai pu me garer plus loin grâce au gérant mais c'était moins pratique

Coucher de soleil ! Vue sur la mer ! Et déambulation de singes et de paresseux !
Pros:

L'accueil a été un peu sommaire au début mais notre hôte s'est monté ensuite super facilitant, grâce à lui nous avons un paresseux juste au milieu de la résidence ! Et super initiative d'avoir installer des cordes pour faciliter les déplacements des singes et paresseux, c'est le grand plus de la location. Pour finir chaque hébergement a une vue extra sur la mer et son coucher de soleil

Cons:

La cuisine est vraiment petite et les équipements pas très fonctionnel. Pour chauffer l'eau nous utilisions le cuiseur à riz et la plaque de cuisson est hors d'âge (et poussiéreuse..)

Lovely, peaceful place
Pros:

This might be one of my favourite hotels I’ve ever stayed at. It’s like its own little piece of paradise tucked into the hill. Beautiful view, wildlife at the doorstep and friendly staff. Easy access to the beach and manuel Antonio. Would definitely book again.

Amazing ocean view stay
Pros:

Incredible view from our villa balcony watching the birds, animals, ocean, flora etc - there was a mum and baby sloth living in the tree above our car too! The villa had everything we needed for our action packed time in Manuel Antonio and Will organised our trip to the National Park too which was super convenient.

Cons:

It was very hard to find where to pull in and park to check in - more info on this would be useful to others in future maybe. Parking was no problem once we knew what we were doing though

Nice view and oool, host and room good be better
Pros:

Nice pool and balcony

Cons:

When we arrived at 3pm the room was not ready; receptionist said he has to “sower first in our room”. Very strange. When we eventually checked in at 4pm te room was clean. The layout of the room 2 beds back to back is a bit awkward; also quite small.

Great location, pool and views with basic but clean rooms
Pros:

perfectly adequate and basic, kitchen area was ideal and good terrace with stunning views out to sea. Good parking and having the pool a real bonus

Cons:

Nothing really although it is pretty basic and shower could do with updating as very weak and provision of bedside lamps - had to wear my head torch to read in bed, apart from that though, enjoyable stay
