Defne Turkey

Incredible views from our room, good food, wonderful staff.

Larry United States of America

The view is world class. The property sits on top of the highest hill in the area with 320 degree breathtaking views of the Pacific coast and Manuel Antonio National Park. Although the main structure of this property was built in the 1970s, it has been lovingly maintained by the local couple who own the property. There are only 60 rooms, comprised mainly of bungalows, which are modern and well maintained. One of the posted pictures was taken from the balcony of our room and the sunset picture was taken from the terrace overlooking the pool.
