Pros:

Buenas ubicación

Cons:

Reservamos una habitación doble superior, y ya de primeras tuvieron que movernos porque la que nos dieron no funcionaba la luz del techo, el aire acondicionado ni la lámpara de la mesa de noche. En la segunda habitación el aire funcionaba pero olía a humedad. Nos pareció lo menos malo. Nos quedamos. La piscina no está mal, pero el pool bar está cerrado. Tienes que llamar por teléfono para que vengan a servir un refresco. El restaurante tuvo tiempos mejores, igual que el hotel. En definitiva, no es malo para un fin de semana, pero en absoluto es un hotel de "habitación superior" como tal. La relación calidad-precio no está bien ajustada

gutes Preis- Leistungsverhältnis
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt an einem Hang und hat einen Pool mit Poolbar, ein Restaurant und bewachten Parkplatz. Zum Frühstück gibt eine Auswahl an verschiedenen Optionen die auf dem Teller am Tisch serviert werden. Getränke und Obst in Buffetform. Die Zimmer sind groß und ausreichend ausgestattet. Wir hatten eine Superior Doppelzimmer die im älteren Gebäude sind. Es ist alles sauber und ordentlich aber merkt den Zimmer das Alter schon an. Die neuen Gebäude sahen modern aus.
Zum Hotel gehört ein Restaurant in dem man am Abend gut (wenn auch nicht wirklich günstig) essen kann.

Cons:

Die Lage ist nicht optimal. Es liegt an der Hauptstraße (das stört nicht) die entlang der Küste verläuft. Man muss in jedem Fall immer das Auto nehmen wenn man zum Strand, Geschäften oder Restaurants möchte.

Macaws were seen from the pool area, staff were very attentive and all very friendly.
Pros:

The property is situated on the main road between Quepos and Manuel Antonio built into the side of the mountain. The bus stop is directly outside the premises and the restaurant is roadside. The pool is high up on the property so the views are excellent.

Cons:

As with many properties here some of the rooms are a little dated and in need of an update. The key cards failed on a daily basis meaning another trip to reception.
The property is on a hillside and therefore the steps are quite steep to get to the rooms or the pool. They do have a golf cart to take your luggage up and down but after a long day hiking the steps were very tiring.

Lindo lugar , pero un poco abandonado.
Pros:

Es la segunda vez que nos alojamos en el Tabulia. Teníamos un muy buen recuerdo. De hecho pedimos la misma habitación por su linda vista y su amplitud. La piscina es muy agradable. El personal es amable, especialmente Henry que estaba siempre atento para dar recomendaciones, ayudar a encontrar animales, etc.

Cons:

El desayuno era muy poco variado : tostadas, huevos revueltos y algo de fruta ( estuvimos 8 días y eso se notó) Además el carrito para trasladar huéspedes y maletas estaba malo. Eso significaba subir muchas escalas para llegar a nuestra habitación. Si no fuera por Henry, no sé como habríamos subido las maletas.

Decepcionante, no es lo que muestra
Pros:

La amabilidad, calidad y calidez del personal

Cons:

Pagamos por una habitación premiun y una estandar y nos dieron dos estandar. Ademas las habitaciones eran oscuras, con olor a humedad, muy antiguas y sin mantenimiento, el baño muy malo. Las habitaciones no contaban con frigobar, el wifi muy malo en todo el hotel, en la habitación habia cafetera pero no te proporcionaban el cafe, no habia lugar para apoyar el equipaje. Ademas el aire acondicionado era muy antiguo y hacia mucho ruido y por ultimo el papel higiénico de pesima calidad.
El sector de pileta tenia reposeras, sillas y mesas en muy mal estado y la pileta tenia el borde interior con muchos hongos. El bar de la pileta no funciona a pesar de que se lo anuncia como tal.

Pros:

We were a family of six that spent the week and loved every minute. We rented 3 ATVs from ATV Santa Teresa who were also awesome and had an amazing time exploring, shopping and dining nearby.

Pros:

Property has some age on it but is well maintained. Don’t expect a five star hotel here but it’s clean and the staff aims to please. Restaurant food is very good and priced right. Bartender knows her way around and can make you just about anything you order. It’s just minutes from Manual Antonio National Park.

Pros:

The location was great! The pool was beautiful. The staff was friendly. The guys that drove the golf cart to take you to and from your room were great! the rooms were straight up the mountain. Very steep path or 80 steps! We enjoyed the very limited free breakfast with the monkeys running along the power. The food was average. The room was nice. The bed mattress was horrible. Wash cloths were not provided. Coffee was not supplied. 2.50 for a 3 cup pouch at reception. Was it nice? Yes. Would I stay again? No

Pros:

This property is in a good location in Manuel Antonio. You get a partial view of the ocean. Room was good enough for 4 people. Breakfast strangely enough same across multiple hotels.
