Pros:

Fantastiskt ställe och väldigt prisvärt (iaf under lågsäsong). Utsikten från poolen var oslagbar. Härligt att äta frukost (jättegod) med den utsikten samt hela regnskogen framför sig där man kunde se apor, macawer, tukaner med mera. Apor, leguaner var även inne på hotellområdet . Kylskåp på rummet var också en bonus samt läget vid strand och nationalpark.

Cons:

Inget

Worth it!
Pros:

They have a restaurant which makes it really easy after a long day to just potter over and have a meal so close.the food is amazing definitely try the Mahi- mahi .Also a restaurant downstairs called Bura is a lovely place if you ever get a chance to try very friendly staff and food is really really nice.The pool was fantastic and you can order drinks to have while you chill by the pool. Passion fruit daiquiri and a strawberry margarita are to die for. Being so close to the park you get to see alot of wildlife and they come very close. We got to see iguanas, Capuchin monkeys and lizards just to name a few. You can even hear howler monkeys from your balcony.

Cons:

Nothing

Vraiment paradisiaque!
Pros:

L’endroit est exceptionnel pour voir des animaux, les singes viennent sur les balcons. Il y a 2 piscines très bien. Le rapport qualité prix est excellent. Très bon petit déjeuner avec choix. L’emplacement est génial aussi, près de tout dont la mer et le parc Manuel Antonio. Le personnel est vraiment très gentil et serviable! Un petit merci spécial à Juan!

Cons:

Il manque un peu d’accès à des équipements. Par exemple, aucun micro-onde, on doit déranger en permanence les employés si on veut chauffer quelque chose.

Buena ubicación
Pros:

El personal fue muy amable en todo momento, y la ubicación es muy buena

Cons:

Había mucha mucha humedad en las habitaciones y además nos tocó la que tenía arriba el restaurante y hacen ruido las sillas de buena mañana. Cosa que particularmente a nosotras no nos molestó porque nos levantábamos a esa hora.

A localização é excelente, pertinho do Parque Manuel Antônio e da praia. O café da manhã era bem saboroso, porém pouca quantidade. O quarto era bom. A cama era bem confortável e grande.

O chuveiro quase não tem pressão, sai bem pouca água.
