Hotel perfecto para ir a Manuel Antonio y descansar.
Pros:

Personal muy atento y servicial, habitación grande, con aire ac, cama muy cómoda y grande. A 2 min del parque Manuel Antonio andando. También tienen un trozo de reserva natural que ofrecen tours ( hicimos el
nocturno y fue muy bien) o por libre sin ningún coste pero cuidado que nosotros con el tour encontramos una terciopelo en medio del sendero.
Los cocteles de la piscina muy buenos y tienen happyhour.
Hotel para volver sin duda.

Cons:

El horario del desayuno empieza a las 7, pedimos desayuno para llevar para poder entrar al parque a las 7.
El box consiste en 2 piezas fruta muy buena un zumo brick bueno pero el bocadillo deberían mejorarlo porque no nos gusto nada.

מלון ברמה בסיסית עם מיקום מצויין
Pros:

המיקום. 5 דקות הליכה מפארק אמנואל אנטוניו

Cons:

החדרים בסיסיים ביותר.
שעות של ארוחת הבוקר לא מותאמות לשעות פתיחה של הפארק. אם הפארק נפתח ב7 אז ארוחת הבוקר חייבת להתחיל מוקדם מ7 בבוקר. אנחנו שילמנו על ארוחת בוקר שלא הצלחנו לממש. מאכזב

Zeer goed hotel nabij Manuel Antonio park
Pros:

Zeer handige locatie nabij het Manuel Antonio park. Mooi, groot zwembad met aangename ligstoelen om te bekomen na een drukke dag. Kwalitatieve restaurantjes in de buurt.

Ontspannen vakantie vlakbij het strand!
Pros:

Ideale ligging op nog geen 5 minuten wandelen van het strand. Zwembaden zijn voorzien van hutjes om in te liggen, waardoor er zeker voldoende schaduw is.
Ruime en propere kamers die van de nodige faciliteiten voorzien zijn.
Behulpzaam personeel.

Cons:

Het ontbijt moet je van de menu bestellen, waardoor dit soms wat langer duurt en je kan maar 1 keuze maken.
Zakdoekjes en een paraplu op de kamer zouden een handige aanvulling zijn.

Das Personal war wirklich fast durchgehend nicht sehr freundlich. Ich war mit meinen zwei Kindern und meinem Mann im Hot
Pros:

Tolle Zimmer, große Betten, Nähe zum Strand und Park

Cons:

Das Personal, die Nachttour. Der Guide hatte wirklich nicht genug Ahnung und die allermeisten Tiere haben wir gefunden und ihn darauf aufmerksam gemacht.
