This was a nice, clean, friendly service environment. It's walking distance to both Manuel Antonio national park and the public beach. It's also within a short ride of some really good restaurants, like El Avion. My only issue is that they didn't provide the advertised free breakfast, their food was subpar and expensive, especially compared to the really good food found in the local restaurants.

We stayed for 7 days at the hotel. The property is located within walking distance to restaurants, bus stop, and Manuel Antonio Park. The property is well maintained and it's cleaned everyday, it's also very peaceful and quiet. The restaurant in the lower level is ok, would have liked if they had a broader selection of foods, but like I said the food was decent. I would definitely stay again at this hotel and would recommend it to anyone considering to stay close to Manuel Antonio Park.

Nice place
I stayed one night and it was correct. People are nice, the room was clean. Its bad luck because the AC has been leaking on the bed during the night. But it can happens, not their fault, it will be repaired. Also, I was on ground floor and I have been disturbed by the room above, hearing footstep during the night. It may be particular to the room I had. The breakfast was not included, but I found it a bit expensive, even if they made me pay 14$ instead of 16 wich is nice. The swimming pool was confortable. Also the hotel is idealy situated between the park and the beach, accessible within 200m.

Perfect location
The reason we picked this hotel was for the location, and it met that requirement. It is equidistance from Playa Espadilla Norte and the entrance to Manuel Antonio Park. Close to some good places to eat - Marlins, Baldi’s Fresh, Sol Yogurt. I was disappointed by the hotel restaurant and bar. Not very flavorful breakfast or cocktails.

We stayed 3 nights. The hotel is close to the public beach and the park entrance (100 - 200 yards). Our room was quiet, well-lit, but small. It came with 2 double (yes, double) beds, a fridge, ice bucket and safe.. There was no place to sit in the room. We'd have preferred 1 king or queen and a table with at least one chair. The shower had plenty of hot water but none in the sink. Per the front desk, this is the way the rooms were designed. The shower stall's tile floor got dangerously slick when wet, but no shower mat was provided; we used the stepout towel as a mat. Probably because the hotel is close to the ocean, used toilet paper was not to be thrown into the toilet but in a trash can next to it. AC worked well; the beds were comfortable. Daily maid service was good. The walk-in closet was quite large with adequate shelves, rods, and hangers. There were plenty of electrical outlets. Rooms and facilities on the second floor, including the pool, did not appear wheelchair accessible. Front desk staff were pleasant and helpful. Common areas were roofed but otherwise open air. We did not eat in the restaurant (meals seemed pricy to us) but did have several beverages. The smoothies were excellent and beer was priced fairly. Free parking was included. In all, the hotel was adequate but nothing special. If we were going back to M-A, we'd look at other places first but would be okay with returning to the Villa Bosque.

Hotel is in the perfect location: 1 block away from park's entrance. Lobby area and pool is inviting and beautiful. Staff at the front desk is super helpful and friendly. The only suggestion I have got is : invest in better mattresses, since they are not the softest or most comfortable. Otherwise, rooms are small but sufficient since most of the time you are in the park and nearby restaurants/shops/bars. This little town has a great atmosphere! Next time I visit, I will be staying here.

Double booked room, unpleasant staff
Double booked our room - no apology, refused to refund our money so we could stay elsewhere, forced us to therefore stay at another hotel they had booked for us up the road. The rudeness of the male member of staff who was dealing with this issue was quite staggering. The hotel itself is quite nice but walls are paper thin and we had disturbed sleep. My advice would go elsewhere as there are two other very nice hotels next door.

Great location to Manuel Antonio Park
I loved staying here it was clean and near the National Park Manuel Antonio. The staff was super friendly. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that the bathrooms don't have fan and after taking a shower the floor was really wet other than that it was great. FYI... breakfast and food can be quite expensive. There is a hostel near the hotel where you can eat super delicious and cheap.

Excellent Location for Quepos.
The Hotel Villabosque is a nice hotel with, to me, the perfect location, for enjoying the Manuel Antonio beach area. The hotel property is very nice and has a local, on property, restaurant. Things I liked: 1. Price was great compared to other properties nearby 2. Condition of overall property was excellent 3. Private balcony for our room...nice place to relax. 4. LOCATION - walk to all the beach areas and many little restaurant and shops and park 5. Staff was nice to talk to Things I disliked: 1. Air conditioner was strained in the room and may have broken on the last night, as it couldn't reach the set temperature...us Gringos need A/C in Manuel Antonio...lol 2. Room size was smaller than I expected. My wife and I travel quite a bit, and this was the smallest hotel room we have dealt with. It was adequate, and proportional to the price, but we had to plan moving around, especially in the bathroom, for getting dressed to go out for beach or other activities. The hotel management offered a different room, but we didn't want to inconvenience them, nor use a two-bed accomodation. Overall, a good property, though.
