The room was clean and as expected. Pool area was really nice and we enjoyed the complimentary breakfast. The staff was really great and we appreciated the golf cart rides up and down the hill! And the view is unbeatable. Overall well worth the booking.

Excellent stay and location can’t be beat. As it’s up in the hillside, they can accommodate you with a courtesy golf cart ride up the hill to the elevators. Sunset view is phenomenal! Highly recommend

Great friendly and helpful staff. Amazing views and local wildlife and flowers. Great location, walk to restaurants, shops and Manuel Antonio National Park. Steep hill to the reception and rooms is a work out but no problem if taken steadily and reception provides golf cart rides as needed. Restaurant food very good too.

Staff were great, especially our server/bartender, room was clean, the view was nice. Our favorite was the included breakfast along with the views of the ocean at the restaurant. The property is located very close to the national park and is a short walk to the beach. We were fortunate enough to see Toucans and Howler Monkeys during our stay. Our room was located directly underneath the restaurant, which made it a little noisy during business hours, but after closing time and before opening, there were no noise issues from the restaurant. Would stay here again, but not directly under the restaurant.

Everything was good at this property but not good for people who have leg problems. It is really strap and some time they don’t have their golf cart to transport people from reception to main hotel level and walking is really challinging

Overall nice hotel to stay. Just 1 min away from the entrance of the National Park. Safe, walkable to restaurants. Its built on top of a hill so there is a steep walkway to get to the hotel rooms but they have golf carts that can transport you up and down. The pool is nice. All rooms have direct view of the ocean. and since its on a hill, the view is very beautiful and amazing sunsets can be seen directly from your room. As the name suggests, its built using the containers and so the rooms are elongated rectangles, not sufficient room to move inside the rooms, but thats not a problem. The service is good. Staff is great. For the breakfast they start at 7 only. Even if you go early and the staff is available in the restaurant they will not take your order, they will ask you to sit down and then at 7 they will distribute the food menu, then bring coffee and then take your orders. If you are in a hurry then pre-order the breakfast the day/night before. With that you can get the breakfast earlier and you can go for your tour etc. The parking is a bit challenging. You can see monkeys and the birds right from your hotel room as its surrounded by thick vegetation. So thats a plus! Look around the trees early morning and you will spot monkeys. Nice hotel to stay!

Spotless room on the highest floor, so no noise from the restaurant. Beautiful pool and lovely terrace restaurant. Was a little overwhelming arriving into the town, being harassed by people wanting you to park in their area, but once at the hotel we were treated very well. Easy walk to the beach, but preferred to stay at the hotel with no vendors bothering us.
