Cleanliness
6.5
Mixed reports: some rooms are reported clean with good air-conditioning, but multiple guests mention a musty/moldy smell, a leaking door, and the pool being dirty at times.
Service
8.5
Generally praised staff and servers, friendly service noted; however there are service failures (lost room key, night worker incident and slow on-site response to electrical problem).
Location
9
Strong positive: beachfront/nature setting, excellent views and close to several beaches and Manuel Antonio attractions; vehicle access can be steep and slightly tricky.
Room Quality
7
Mixed: some rooms have good views, clean linens and comfortable beds, but others are small, dated, have broken bed frames, no TV, and reports of no hot water or poor soundproofing.
Amenities
7
Some useful features (minifridge, pool, common spaces) but issues noted: pool cleanliness, unreliable Wi‑Fi, no TV in some rooms and awkward parking.
Value for Money
7.5
Perceived as acceptable for the price by several guests (affordable restaurant prices, reasonable for one or two nights), though confusion about whether breakfast is included reduces perceived value for some.
Food and Beverage
8
Positive remarks about the on-site restaurant pricing and a good breakfast (served as an extra), though breakfast is not always included and this caused confusion.
Overall Experience
9.7
Despite maintenance, cleanliness and amenity issues, guests frequently praise the location, views and natural setting; for many the strong setting and friendly staff make it a worthwhile short stay.

Estuvo lluvioso y el agua se empezó a filtra por la puerta de la habitación, no había jabón de tocador que decía que incluía, y una de las camas estaba quebrada en la parte de donde va el colchón por la cabecera

Sur la globalité bien mais dans les détails pas top
Pros:

La piscine, et les espaces communs étaient très sympa
Les serveuses aussi

Cons:

On avait payé pour une chambre avec vue mais ils ne trouvaient pas la clé de cette chambre donc on a été placé dans une chambre sans vue et peu lumineuse.
La wifi ne fonctionne pas correctement
De plus à 3h du matin un ouvrier ou un veilleur de nuit s’est amusé à traficoter je ne sais quoi à côté de notre chambre et il nous allumé la lumière de la chambre puis lorsqu’on lui a dit d’éteindre il ne savait pas comment faire résultat il a coupé l’électricité de la chambre, et personne est venu nous le remettre donc on a dû le faire nous même.
La chambre était assez petite.

Bien mais pourrait etre tellement mieux
Pros:

La situation géographique est idéale pour profiter des alentours et du parc de Manuel Antonio. Les draps étaient propres, le lit confortable et le petit-déjeuner (en supplément) était très bon.

Cons:

Hôtel très vétuste, avec une salle de bain extrêmement petite et pas d’eau chaude à la douche.
Attention à ne pas réserver les chambres jardin côté route : c’est extrêmement bruyant, et ce toute la nuit.
Après, au vu du prix, cela reste acceptable pour une ou deux nuits.
