Calme reposant ressourçant
Pros:

Havre de paix. Personnel toujours souriant. A 200 m de la plage et 200m du parc Manuel Antonio. De notre terrasse nous avons pu voir des toucans, singes … et même un paresseux 🦥 .

מלון מקסים במיקום מצוין לחוף הים ולפארק הלאומי.
Pros:

מקום יפה ומטופח. חדר נוח ונקי, שירותי ניקוי כל יום. ארוחת בוקר נחמדה. שירות מעולה. בריכה קטנה ונחמדה. מיקום קרוב בהליכה לחוף מקסים וקרוב בהליכה לפארק הלאומי.

Cons:

המיקום קצת מרוחק ממרכז העיר. יש מספר קטן של מסעדות קרובות וזהו.

Ideale Lage zum Nationpark tröstet über ungemütliches Zimmer
Pros:

-die Lage zum Nationalpark und zum Strand
-der Pool im Grünen
- das richtig gute Frühstück sogar mit Jogurt und granola und die sehr netten Servicekräfte beim Frühstück

Cons:

das Deluxe Zimmer ist sehr klein und auch ungemütlich , da der Weg zu den anderen Zimmern direkt an den Fenstern vorbeiführt- man kann also wählen: Blick ins Grün und nackt auf dem Weg oder Vorhänge zu und Grün ade. Die Terrasse ist so auch nicht wirklich nutzbar. Für diese Zimmerkategorie ist der Preis aus meiner Sicht nicht angemessen.

A great experience and a beautiful room at a lovely hotel.
Pros:

The staff were friendly and helpful, they checked our reservation and saw that we had a little girl with us. They made sure to set up an extra bed. The room was gorgeous and perfect. The pool was great and the wood fire pizza amazing. I also thought it was amazing that they offered beach towels, super helpful for travelers.

Cons:

A few of the lounge chairs had seen better days, you couldn't sit on them. I did notice the morning we were leaving that they were carrying some out, so hopefully they replaced. Parking is limited but we were lucky

Excelente localização e simpatia dos funcionários.
Pros:

Excelente localização, mesmo no acesso ao Parque Natural Manuel António e muito perto da praia e restaurantes.
Empregados muito prestáveis e simpáticos.

Cons:

Pelo preço esperávamos algo mais exclusivo e com mais charme.
Os tamanhos dos quartos e da piscina eram modestos para os preços apresentados, embora suficientes.
O bar da piscina tem um horário limitado, o que condiciona a sua utilização.

Pros:

Unbeatable location, down the street from NP Manuel Antonio entrance and on the other side the beautiful beach. Loads of nice cafes and small restaurants around. The hotel is quite cozy, with a small number of guests, so it feels very relaxing and private. Loads of animals come to the pool area, like giant lizards or monkeys.
