Pros:

La ubicación excelente. Mi habitación tenía una terracota desde donde podía ver el mar y mucha vegetando.
Salida directa a la playa. Si ibas temprano, tenias reposera.
Llegué a media mañana y me dieron habitación igual

Cons:

Tuve que subir 20 escalones con mi equipaje y luego también bajarlos y con lluvia , pésimo.
Con tormenta de cortes la luz y no hay luz de emergencia ni en las escaleras. Una boca de lobos
El ventanal que es el frente de toda la habitación solo tiene black out o sea que para cambiarme debía tener todo cerrado...

Great location. Beautiful views. ok food. Needs major upgrades in general.
Pros:

The location and views are great. Within walking distance to the beach and Manuel Antonio. The parking is good too. The staff is nice and helpful.

Cons:

The first room "The Mountain Room" given to us it was unacceptable. This room should be unacceptable for seniors, parent with kids and people with physical disabilities. There's no elevator and it is the last unit uphill with lots of stairs. Climbing up with luggage is a real struggle...even for healthy people. Upon entering the room, there's a noticeable gap between the floor and the entry door. Also, the windows will not shut all the way. The bedding looks old and basic. The little kitchen has a decaying rusted fridge. There was water on ground too. The outdoor chairs were also decaying. In general the last two units on top of the mountain need a major upgrade. We got moved to a different room, much nicer and better bedding too. This room had a very poor water flow to the toilette. The shower drain had poor drainage and water overflows to the bathroom. The views are great thought! Next, the pool is not much of a pool…more like a kid’s pool. It’s very small. The food at the restaurant is way overpriced. The breakfast was ok; nothing to brag about it…the orange juice was more like sugar water…it wasn’t real/fresh orange juice. This place has a lot of potential given the location and access to the beach. Unfortunately, it has ways to go before it can offer a first class guest experience.

Pros:

beach is really nice. the restaurant/bar staff is nice.

Cons:

was not informed that there are (2) sections of the property separated by the road/highway. if not beachfront, you will have to cross the road to get to the beach + restaurant. reception was under construction. Maria was helpful when prior to check in but was not there when we checked in. Pamela was not as accommodating and quite rude---pressured us to upgrade to oceanfront for extra charge! also, our A/C stopped working in the middle of the night :(

Pros:

Gute Lage, Liegen am Strand inklusive und freundliches Personal

Cons:

Das Zimmer über der Hauptstraße ist gegenüber dem Verkehrslärm schlecht isoliert, sodass ohne Ohrstöpsel ein Einschlafen kaum möglich ist.

Pros:

Пляж рядом, уборка каждый день, вид из окна в верхней части отеля, животные на нижней территории, бассейн для детей, зеленая территория и много растений красивых.

Cons:

Все таки наверху ступеньки тяжелы, подойдут молодым здоровым. И в номере пусто вообще, кровать шкаф и столик с стулом и теликом и мини холодильником . Ничего нету - ни посуды ни чайника ни кружки ни стакана, ни тарелки, увы в номере делать нечего когда дожди идут. Но для матрасников наверное пойдет. Аля прийти поспать и лежать на лежаке на пляже с кучей попрошаек.

Great location on the beach front, attentive staff, rooms are basic but adequate
Pros:

The rooms themselves are a bit run down but still very spacious. The location makes up for this as it’s a few minutes walk to the beach and the hotel reserve sun lounges and chairs with drinks service on the beach front under the trees for some shade, which is great! Lots of monkeys and wildlife around! The breakfast is also served at the beach front with lovely views. Really enjoyed the breakfast and coffee! Staff are very attentive and helpful.

Pros:

The beach access 24/7 is a big plus.

Cons:

The refrigerator was old and small, it was directly on the floor so you had to bend down to use it.
