We enjoyed the pool area with the large lounger beds, which has fans installed to keep you cool! The breakfast is held at the nearly sister hotel (2mins walk) and there is a good selection of food, they even made fresh vegetarian options for me which weren’t on the menu! The staff at the hotel are incredible! My friend has pulled a ligament in her ankle and every single day they would ensure she had ice available for the swelling, provided a bucket for when she had to rest it in warm water, and even ordered supplies from the closest Pharmacy. For the first couple days we did have an issue with the lack of hot water from the shower and there was a strange sewage smell coming from the bathroom, but the hotel did well at addressing these and the communication was 10/10\. ##### Sonal Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Samuel Nov 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Clean room ##### Samuel Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alexis Dec 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This hotel is incredible! It is two properties that are within steps of each other. The pools at both are incredible and have large cabanas with fans. The bar area is so nice, we ended up here most evenings. The food at the restaurant is incredible! You get a menu for breakfast, along with some food and drinks put out as a buffet. The breakfast options are incredible, and some of the best food we ate on the trip. Our room was cleaned promptly every day and was left with a towel animal we looked forward to. The staff is super friendly and helpful, as we stopped in multiple times to ask questions. In my opinion, you could not have a better location! You are steps to the beach and the national park. Anywhere else in Manuel Antonio would definitely require a car, but we got everything we wanted right outside the hotel! We are so excited to return! ##### Alexis Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### katherine Nov 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities This property was stunning, our room overlooking the pool was amazing. Lots of wildlife on property, bed was comfy, nesspresso machine in our room was a lovely touch. 5 min walk to beach or Manuel Antonio park. Lots of restaurants to walk to. Clean beach towels were provided each day as well. The front desk also helped with organizing our excursions and we were picked up on property. The restaurants breakfast was delicious and huge and staff were friendly and prompt. Cons: don’t order their pizza.. seemed like it was a frozen grocery store pizza but kids would like it!!

The rooms are okay—nothing fancy—but each one has its own outdoor seating area, which is a really nice touch and makes it easy to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The property itself is beautiful and spacious, with a sister property right next door that adds to the overall appeal. The food was very good, and the hotel’s location is hard to beat—right between Manuel Antonio National Park and the beach, both within easy walking distance. Wildlife sightings around the hotel made the stay extra special. We saw monkeys multiple times right from the grounds, and while I didn’t spot toucans inside the national park, I was lucky enough to see two toucans land on a tree at the hotel itself. That moment alone made the stay worth it. Overall, a solid choice if you want convenience, good food, and the chance to enjoy Costa Rica’s nature and wildlife right from your hotel. ##### Suman Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ada Mar 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location, a short walking to the beautiful Playa Espadilla beach, to the National Park and to restaurants.

Our rooms were cleaned daily with a different little animal made from towels each day. The pool was warm and clean, and we watched the monkeys play in the trees and toucans and macaws fly around. Walkable to the beach, many restaurants, shops, and Manuel Antonio national park. I would definitely stay there again ##### Amanda Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### F Dec 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Nice Garden, friendly People ##### F Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Alexandra May 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very convenient location, renovated modern bathrooms, AC in room worked very well, very comfortable bed.

The staff went out of their way to help us with tour trips. The motel is a couple blocks from the beach and a couple of blocks from Manuel Antonio. The rooms were clean, the breakfast was delicious, and the staff was great. There were monkeys and iguanas that would visit everyday. ##### Jeff Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Camino Verde Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Camino-Verde-Bed-Breakfast.h4449816.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Punta Leona](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Hotel-Punta-Leona.h486442.Hotel-Information) > > [Los Suenos Marriott Ocean & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Los-Suenos-Marriott-Ocean-Golf-Resort.h522999.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Shibuya](https://www.expedia.ca/Shibuya-Tokyo-Hotels.0-n179167-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cheap Hotels in Brampton](https://www.expedia.ca/Brampton-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d6807-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Bosque del Cabo Rain Forest Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Bosque-Del-Cabo-Rain-Forest-Lodge.h11886299.Hotel-Information) > > [Fiesta Resort Central Pacific - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Barranca-Hotels-Fiesta-Resort-Central-Pacific-All-Inclusive.h692315.Hotel-Information) > > [Barceló Tambor](https://www.expedia.ca/Paquera-Hotels-Barcelo-Tambor.h795208.Hotel-Information) > > [Ylang Ylang Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Ylang-Ylang-Beach-Resort.h32536597.Hotel-Information) > > [MGM Grand Hotel & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-MGM-Grand-Hotel-Casino.h12628.Hotel-Information) > > [Monteverde Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Monteverde-Lodge-Gardens-By-Boena.h4497846.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Nantipa - A Tico Beach Experience](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Hotel-Nantipa-A-Tico-Beach-Experience.h28413626.Hotel-Information) > > [Motels Revelstoke](https://www.expedia.ca/Revelstoke-Motels.d10607-aaMotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotel & Spa Poco a Poco](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Spa-Poco-A-Poco.h4485115.Hotel-Information) > > [Tango Mar Beachfront Boutique Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Tango-Mar-Beachfront-Boutique-Hotel-Villas.h903960.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Vacation Club at Los Suenos](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Marriott-Vacation-Club-At-Los-Suenos.h60169844.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Country Meadows Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Chilliwack-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Country-Meadows-Inn.h10689.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Frankfurt (FRA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/fra/edmonton-to-frankfurt) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Dubai (DXB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/dxb/toronto-to-dubai) > > [Flights from San Francisco (SFO) to Edmonton (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sfo/yeg/san-francisco-to-edmonton) > > [Flair Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Flair-Airlines-Flights.cF8.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Montreal (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/yul/ottawa-to-montreal) > > [Flights from Delhi (DEL) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/del/yyz/delhi-to-toronto) ### Packages
