Beautiful location and for the most part the service was great. First the pluses ....beach is super and the staff down by the beach was friendly and welcoming and they do a great job of creating safety (lots of lifeguard drills it appeared!) and overall the sense of a lovely vacation feel. There are golf carts to take you everywhere on the property, which is pretty necessary as the property is steep and quite spread out. You just give a call and someone shows up in minutes. Many of the drivers have a great personality, just made it surprising when a few of them seemed not friendly--and for us there was no need to speak English--I was always happy to try my Spanish! Ditto for the staff in the main restaurant--some were friendly and welcoming and a few others were all business and not very welcoming or patient. On with the plus items...the beds are very comfortable, rooms are private and quiet, and the policy of free mini bar snacks (with free restocking) is wonderful! The monkeys and iguanas --and sloths--on the property are terrific. There is a dinner in the beach restaurant on Wednesdays, Sats and Suns and since we were only there for the Wed dinner, I wish that the staff at breakfast had reminded us of it and also, there could be a small guide in the room that would include the beach dinner evening schedule as well as a map of the nature trail --with distances. We wanted to walk it ourselves, without their guide, but didn't have a good sense of the overall length of the trail. There was a little sense that they wanted to encourage us to sign up for their guided (for a fee) walk. The food in the main restaurant was good, but not exceptional and the dinners are quite expensive. The breakfast has many choices and again, it's good but not exceptional--but nice that it's included in the room price. Overall, however, it's a lovely place, clearly the nicest place to stay in Manuel Antonio, but also quite pricey, which you know if you're reading this! Trip.com had the best price by far, at least for November.
Amazing location you felt right in the middle of the jungle but very close to the beach. Very good on-site restaurant and small swimming pool would highly recommend this accommodation and would book again ourselves.
La stanza era al 4° piano dell'edificio più in alto e quindi la vista era molto bella sia sul Parco Nazionale sia sull'oceano.
L'entrata al parco è a 4 minuti a piedi, quindi posizione ottima.
A piedi si può raggiungere la spiaggia in circa 8 minuti e una zona con bar e ristoranti.
La colazione è buona anche se uguale nelle due giornate in cui siamo rimasti.
E' sempre presente un servizio di aiuto trasporto delle valige tramite ”golf” car viste le importanti spostamenti verticali rispetto al parcheggio e agli edifici.
C'è stato un unico problema:
dopo i primi 20 minuti in piscina le maglie bianche utilizzate per evitare di mettere creme e proteggersi dal sole si sono colorate di giallo. Ho segnalato alla reception il problema e l'esito è stato che il giorno successivo è arrivata una ditta che ha pulito entrambe le piscine più volte. A mio avviso il problema è strutturale e non basta la segnalazione di qualche utente per risolvere il problema perché l'acqua non si muove come se l'impianto di depurazione fosse insufficiente.
