Pros:

A experiência de dormir em um container de 40 pés gourmetizado foi life changing para mim pois sou grande entusiasta da indústria de navegação pesada.Limpeza, ar condicionado e TV smart de primeira mas que beleza. Piscina fantástica.

Cons:

Café da manhã pode ser melhorado. O restaurante cobra muito caro por pratos de baixa qualidade. Mas você não é obrigado a comer lá . Então a estadia foi perfeita obrigado El Faro.

100% recomendado para Manuel Antonio
Pros:

El personal es súper atento y nos ayudaron con todo. Nos dejaron hacer un pre-check-in para dejar el coche en el parking y así ver el parque nacional, que está justo al lado del hotel.
La piscina es increíble y tiene servicio de bar con 2x1 en algunas bebidas, que nos preparó Jose y estaban buenísimas.

Cons:

La habitación está un poco descuidada. Falta mobiliario y decoración, pero sin más, no era muy importante para nosotros.

Pros:

La ubicación es excelente y la atención de los trabajadores muy buena. La comida muy rica.
Tienen una de las mejores vistas al mar.
