Service
9.3
Staff repeatedly described as very friendly and helpful; several guests praised the personnel and noted good service despite other issues.

Pros:

L' accesso diretto alla spiaggia

Cons:

Hotel fatiscente, per andare dalla camera al ristorante dovevamo attraversare la strada. Stavano facendo dei lavori e il rumore era terribile.la colazione a dir poco....ridicola... probabilmente il peggior hotel degli ultimi 10 anni.Evitate di andarci

Pros:

Die Lage ist sehr gut. Wir konnten zu Fuss zu zum Nationalpark und auch der Strandabschnitt ist sehr schön. Die Zimmer waren sehr schön und gut ausgerüstet.

Cons:

Es war sehr mühsam, das Zimmer zu erreichen (anstrengender Aufstieg über eine Treppe). Das Strandrestaurant hat leider am Abend sehr früh geschlossen.

Aceptable
Pros:

El restaurante tenía salida a la playa y era muy lindo para estar
El personal era muy amable

Cons:

Las habitaciones del otro lado de la calle son incómodas. El hotel se encuentra en una curva por lo que hay que tener mucho cuidado para cruzar dado que los autos no frenan. El desayuno era bastante básico.

Mittendrin statt nur dabei
Pros:

Mit dem Nationalpark vor der Tür, hatte man auch auf dem Hotelgelände und am Strand die Möglichkeit, das Wildlife aus nächster Nähe zu erleben.

Cons:

Zimmer etwas feucht muffig und Baustelle auf dem ganzen Gelände; deutliche Unterschiede in der Gestaltung der Zimmer

Adecuado
Pros:

Nos cambiaron por fuerza mayor a una habitación en primera línea de playa, a pesar de qué habíamos arrendados dos camas nos dieron una King size.

Cons:

No tuvieron que cambiar de habitación, porque lamentablemente nadie nos comentó que estaban arreglando el edificio y la verdad se escuchaba un ruido atroz de maquinarias y la gente que estaba trabajando. Obviamente debía estar ahí presente todo el rato., no nos acomodó, porque nosotros fuimos a relajarnos por vacaciones

Pros:

Dicht bij Manuel Antonio national park
Eigen stuk strand
Vriendelijk personeel

Cons:

Door het hoge plafond veel stof als je naar boven kijkt. Veel ongedierte: in de kamer meerdere mieren, twee duizendpoten en ‘s ochtends een krab op de muur naast het bed. Dit maakte het wel minder aangenaam om op de kamer te zijn.

Volgens mij is de ervaring van de kamer erg afhankelijk van welke kamer je boekt, ze hebben veel verschillende soorten, raad daarom de kamer boven op de berg niet aan. Heb betere verhalen gehoord over andere kamers.

Ontbijt was vrij simpel.

I loved that there was private beach access and cage/dining had a beach view.

Cons:

The shower wall was a little short so water got all over the bathroom.

Pros:

Reserve una habitación con la intención de pasar un rato agradable, resulta que la habitación estaba al otro lado de la calle, súper largo de la piscina y playa donde en ningún momento se me indico la distancia de la habitación a las otras instalaciones.
