Emplacement idéal avec un accès à la plage superbe mais beaucoup trop d’humidité dans la chambre
Pros:

L’emplacement est top, la plage, le personnel aussi très sympa.

Cons:

Énormément d’humidité dans la chambre, de la buée sur la baie vitrée, menant au balcon et dans la salle de bain. La chambre n’était pas assez bien isolée au niveau des fenêtres, sur la même période, j’ai voyagé en d’autres hôtels, et je n’ai pas eu cette expérience de plus toute mes affaires sente l’humidité.

We had a great time and the beach was just perfect!
Pros:

Very close to the beach and they provide chairs and parasols! Wow thank you

Cons:

Restaurant was good but expansive. The menu of the day was the same all week. Our room did not have a view of the beach since we were on the first floor.

Pros:

Playa privada y parking vistas expectaculares

Cons:

La estancia fue agradable, pero considero que deberían informar claramente en el anuncio de la cantidad de escaleras que hay que subir y bajar para llegar a la cabaña. Además, para acceder a la piscina y a la playa hay que bajar todas esas escaleras, cruzar la carretera y caminar todavía otro buen tramo.

Teniendo en cuenta la distancia y el acceso, nos pareció un alojamiento caro para lo que ofrece. Además, la casa está algo desgastada y necesitaría cierto mantenimiento y renovación.

Creo que sería importante informar de estos aspectos antes de reservar, para que los huéspedes puedan valorar mejor si el alojamiento se adapta a sus necesidades y expectativas.

Très bien pour visiter le PN Manuel Antonio
Pros:

- Chambre avec superbe vue sur la baie
- Plage privée avec transats et super couchers de soleil
- Accès à pied par la plage à l'entrée du PN Manuel Antonio
- Des animaux dans le jardin : un paresseux et 2 arras vus 🤩
- piscine en complément de la plage

Cons:

A noter que toutes les chambres proposées ne sont pas au même endroit

- Chambres côté plage / piscine / jardin

- Chambres côté réception de l'autre côté de la route où
1- Travaux en août 26 dans l'hôtel (au niveau réception) et la propriété d'à côté... du bruit dès 6h30 ! Les chambres 1er prix (et pourtant à 150€) ont vue sur route et ont les travaux... Nous avons demandé à changer ...
2- Pour les chambres avec vue sur mer : il y a des escaliers (raides). On a évité les AR entre chambre et plage 😉ms magnifique vue !
3- Traverser la route à la partie côté plage / piscine

Pros:

L' accesso diretto alla spiaggia

Cons:

Hotel fatiscente, per andare dalla camera al ristorante dovevamo attraversare la strada. Stavano facendo dei lavori e il rumore era terribile.la colazione a dir poco....ridicola... probabilmente il peggior hotel degli ultimi 10 anni.Evitate di andarci
