Had a lot of fun and the kids especially. Saw monkeys and even sloth at the hotel
Pros:

The staff was super friendly and helpful and good with the kids. The location is perfect and cute in the trees and the pool at the restaurant and bar is just perfect.

Cons:

The mattresses weren’t the best. Also not terrible but could be better

Amazing staff with real Costa Rican hospitality , perfect location and felt not too touristy
Pros:

The staff were the amazing and made the property , everyone from the reception to the cleaning staff and the restaurant. The location is amazing as you feel like you are still getting a bit of jungle with the monkeys and tress but just across the road you can walk to the beach.

Cons:

nothing

Singes et proximité du parc
Pros:

Ce que j’ai le plus aimé : la proximité avec la nature : les singes viennent carrément sur ta terrasse de l’hôtel ! Impossible d’en voir de plus près, même dans les parcs. On a également pu voir une biche.
Autre point positif : la proximité avec le parc Manuel Antonio : environ 15 minutes à pieds.
Le coin piscine/bar/restaurant est joli et bien aménagé même si la piscine est très petite.

Cons:

La très mauvaise insonorisation de notre chambre et sa proximité avec la route très bruyante. Aussi, elle était située au dessus des poubelles : bonjour les odeurs.
Chambre très sombre et éclairages insuffisants.

Great for beach with plenty of wildlife on the doorstep
Pros:

- Location was fantastic for accessing the beach (5 min walk) and the National Park (20 min walk)
- Pool provided an excellent place to cool off during the middle of the day
- Surrounding wildlife - we saw howler monkeys, white faced monkeys, toucans, deer and iguanas from the pool / bar area
- Great smoothies / ice coffee available from the bar
- Beds were comfy and we could keep the room cool with the air-con
- Useful having a fridge in the room

Cons:

We were provided with 2 coffee pods on our first day - it would have been even better to have this offered each day of the stay free of charge

Stay here if you like monkeys, djungle and a nice beach
Pros:

A lovely hotel where it feels like you’re staying in the middle of the jungle, yet still close to the beach—about a 5-minute walk. We woke up to the howling of howler monkeys and were also joined by different kinds of monkeys during breakfast.
The staff were very friendly and service-minded. We would happily stay here again if we return to Manuel Antonio!

Cons:

Somewhat low water pressure in the shower. Otherwise, everything was good.
