Lo mejor es su ubicacion, si vas a visitar el parque Manuel Antonio, esta a máximo 50.mts el acceso, y es práctico para la visita, pero las habitaciones necesitan mayor limpieza y atención, el desayuno es buffet y es bueno, las albercas están bien, pero son pequeñas. Si tienes problemas de movilidad quizás no sea tu mejor opción porque esta en una colina, y esta como a unos 400 mts de la playa, no esta tan cerca, pero si puedes ir caminando. El elevador es muy reducido y limitado.

This is AMAZING! Highly recommend. We stayed in the panaromic ocean view room and the views, breathtaking. Very short walk to the beach and many restaurants. Only a few steps away from the Manuel National Park entrance. It is a steep climb to the hotel, however, they did have golf cart assistance to give you a ride to the elevators from reception. The monkeys; the most entertaining part of my stay. We ate at the hotel restaurant one evening and the food was DELISH. Last but not least, KEVIN. One of the best hotel reception agents I have ever met and I travel ALOT. Once again, HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Great views, best location when going to Manuel Antonio Park, friendly staff (Jason, Juan Carlos, Steven, I know I forgot other people). The boys loved the pool, the restaurant and the property overall. You can see plenty of wildlife (monkeys, iguanas, birds, crabs) . I will definitely recommend these hotel. We stayed for two night , family of 4 (15 and 7) .

The best thing is that it is very close to the National Park. It serves a good breakfast although I’d change the juice for a natural juice, not from concentrate. I was there during a weekend so they had live music on Saturday which it was nice. The staff was very polite and helpful. The rooms are small but they are ok. The restaurant has a nice view, specially at sunset. Wear a repellent for mosquitoes everywhere you go.

Great views from the hotel, pool was relaxing but iguanas get extremely close to guests even scratched another guest. Room was clean, but only charging outlet was in the bathroom or behind the fridge very inconvenient. Staff was not present at the front desk during staffed hours, we waited at least twenty minutes before a staff member would arrive and they do not offer refunds or accommodations to change booking dates.

Hotel was ok. Very little parking, and if you can’t find parking at the top it’s a pretty steep hike from the bottom. Two very slow elevators to ride, with max capacity of 3, so had to often split up. One of our beds’ linens were not in the best shape. Floors are VERY slick when wet! Very close to entrance to national park, so that was a plus. And the A/C units made the rooms into freezers if that’s your thing. Not many places to eat within walking distance. Samui Thai was excellent, and they know what “Thai hot” means.

Location is amazing, close to everything but tucked away enough to be a quiet relaxing stay. Yes the hill is a steep climb, but they offer a lift on the cart or you get a great glute workout. Breakfast was consistently great, best pancakes and gallo pinto. Dinner is also great. Staff are always super nice and helpful. We had more close encounters with wildlife on property than any park we toured. Sloths live on property and monkeys visit every morning. The view is AMAZING. We will be staying again

Good place to stay for all the right reasons; great location (very close) for walking to entrance of Manuel Antonio Park, quick walk to the beach, warm and friendly staff, excellent breakfasts. Room was clean, had everything you would need. Absolutely beautiful views of the ocean! Lots of restaurants close by. It was a fairly steep grade to walk up to the hotel but they had golf cart shuttles if needed. The only suggestion would be to have a few more pool umbrellas for shade as the sun is very hot! The hotel is showing some wear, but overall recommend this hotel.
