Great location, a short walking to the beautiful Playa Espadilla beach, to the National Park and to restaurants. Great outdoor garden with fun sitting options around the pool and near the rooms. They also sent us very important tips before arrivals. A fun place to stay.

Great place to stay

We checked in around 8:00 p.m. and Dillan was very friendly and welcoming. 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.

Minutes to the National Park, Beach, and Dining

Great location. We walked into the National Park, on a grass path to the beach, and down the street--approximately 3 blocks--to the restaurants. The hotel is split between two locations (within view of each other) each with a pool but it is the upper hotel site that has the bar and restaurant (serving breakfast) under a thatched roof. Our room at the other site was near the road to the park but once the traffic stopped around 5 pm, it was quiet. We had comfortable wooden chairs outside our room and a lovely covered lounging bed with privacy drapes. At sunrise, we were awakened by the sounds of the birds in the National park. Fun experience. On the day we had a guided tour of the National Park, it was an early start. Knowing we would miss the breakfast, staff provided us with box lunches. Very much appreciated. An unexpected level of service. Recommend this hotel.

We believed we had booked in their main hotel but were put in their nearby sister inferior hotel. It is difficult to tell from the site which hotel your room is booked in but there is a significant difference in them.

Slice of paradise

Overall a great experience. Location to the beach and national park couldn’t be better. Room was nice and clean. Only complaint on room was utter lack of closet / storage space, even for one person. 2 people would be really tight. Pool area was lovely. Restaurant and bar was fantastic for breakfast and dinner. Friendly staff all over. Would definitely stay here again.
