Laura, United States of America

Everything just amazing! The staff, resort grounds, pools, views, services. Exceeded my expectations! We already made a plan to stay here again. Pura Vida!

Myungeun, United States of America

Just about everything. The rooms, the beds, how clean it was, the staff, the grounds, the views, the food. I am willing to bet you will not find a better place to stay in Manuel Antonio

Rodrigo, Costa Rica

Front desk was extremely helpful and friendly! The free shuttle to Manuel Antonio was great and took us to a wonderful spot with very nice people. We also had a couple of questions for the tour desk and we were helped so much, the tour desk guy answered all of our questions patiently. The food was good, lunch was probably my favourite at La Galería restaurant. The view from the room was great! And the room itself was very clean and had plenty of room for us. The staff at the resort was very friendly and our overall experience was great! Also, you will see a lot of monkeys climbing on the roofs and swinging on trees which is amazing.

Catherine, United States of America

Exquisite grounds, abundant wildlife sightings without having to leave the property, awesome views, peaceful, elegant, top service!

Carolyn, United States of America

Beautiful views from our balcony. Amazing wildlife in the gardens (like being inside the zoo exhibit). Great pools and helpful staff.

The quality of the cocktails was not up to par for people who come from metropolitan areas and are used to higher quality drinks. There is creativity and skill lacking in that area.
The beauty of the location. The amount of wildlife on the property. The privacy of the property. The amenities and views.

Most of the staff and employees were warm,kind and courteous with he exception of one male waiter whose name started with A. He would disappear after he gave us our food and wouldn't refill our drinks. The other waiters and waitresses were so nice though!
The location was perfect for going to Manuel Antonio and the beach. We saw monkeys and iguanas at the pool area which was so neat to see. Gorgeous views of the ocean!

This hotel was fantastic. We felt welcomed from the moment we drove up to the gates. At check in we were met with drinks and a cold flannel (it was very hot outside). We were also upgraded to a huge room with an amazing jungle view. Our 15 year old is mad keen on bugs and animals of all kinds and he went walking on the hotel nature trail and spotted so many creatures - he absolutely loved it. We ate in the hotel on both nights - once in the restaurant and once in the bar - both excellent meals. The service was fantastic- particularly Jennifer on reception who was very helpful to me when I was having problems booking a ferry. All in all we had a great time and would love to return one day.

No shame! We got charged twice, once by cash and once by cradit card. The hotel promised us that the amount (a few thousand of dollars) will be back to us in a few days. Almost two weeks have passed and NOTHING! We tried to contect the hotel through email a few times now and through booking.com and they are just ignoring us. It's just gross that it's so easy to steal someones hard earnd money without shame! We have all the proof to show that we were charged twice but we can't even use them because nobody is even answering to our emails. We visited a few hotels in the line of Parador and I can asure you that we have NEVER seen such aweful service.

The only thing that could have been improved would be the service at La Galeria restaurant. The server sort of forgot about our table and we waited a pretty long time to eat. That being said, the food was good and we went back but ordered from the bar and the service was faster!

Tours are very pricy, and not appropriately so if you will book a private guide. Three and five people would pay the same for the same guide, which is not adequate. Mattresses a little too tough.
Tasty breakfast, amazing location with incredible sea views, good facilities with different pools, mini golf, their own reserve with a lot of monkeys that come close to us, sloths, araras , iguanas. Very nature-friendly.

Overall quality of food could have been better at dinner time. While the menu was varied (and we did not try everything), the meals we did eat were subpar for the prices being charged.
Beautiful views from our balcony. Amazing wildlife in the gardens (like being inside the zoo exhibit). Great pools and helpful staff.
