    On the pricey side for drinks etc but to be expected

    We had a lovely room which was cleaned daily. Staff were very helpful. There are several restaurants owned by the hotel which are accessible by walking.

    Wildlife at your door!

    Breakfast is not included, and all the on-site restaurants are quite expensive and cater mostly to tourists, which makes the overall cost-benefit less appealing. The resort is divided into different zones, but a main road runs through the property. If you plan to walk to the beach, be prepared for a steep uphill climb on the way back. The swimming pools are small, and pool towels are not provided.

    The wildlife at the hotel is incredible! We saw capuchin, howler, and squirrel monkeys, as well as a sloth that came all the way down to the ground—right on the property. The hotel is also ideally located near Manuel Antonio National Park and the beach.

    The noise from the road leading to the beach and manual Antonio park and the swimming pool area -quite depressing due to bad maintenance. The kitchen board is too small. Not possible to place a plate. N es to juggle to prepare something to eat.

    The room was spacious and comfortable. We loved the sea view from our balcony. The cleaning service was very efficient. We had an incident with the kitchen and it was fixed right away. Having a little kitchen, microwave and fridge was very handy.

    Door auto lock / room key issue. Must plug key into air conditioning for it to work. If you walk out the door to sit on the patio, the door automatically locks and we were locked out. The neighbor called management, but they would not help, we had to get in the neighbors car, drive down to the office (our gate was locked) to get a key. It may be better to offer two keys and tell the guests that the doors are auto lock.

    Beautiful view, lovely room. Great facilities, look forward to visiting again. Nice people, plenty to do without car. One of our new favorites. Good food close by. The E area Adult Pool is spectacular. Monkees, toucans, iguanas and sloths abound.

    It is a bit dated and the decor has so much of the wood in every part of the huge complex and restaurants it gets a bit OTT. The food is ok but nothing amazing (pizzas are very good though). And across the three restaurants the menus are quite similar so it gets a bit dull. And as others mention it's very steep to get to the beach

    We stayed in the adult area that was really peaceful and had wonderful views. The room was comfortable and spacious. The staff were helpful, the free shuttle to their restaurants was helpful as the hills are very steep. The adult area is peaceful though the pool gets full around late afternoon. I would recommend the restaurant a few minutes walk called La Terrezza the food is excellent and the ambience is modern so a refreshing change from Costa Verde. Having a kitchennette is really handy, and you can also order food from their restaurants which is very handy The jungle surrounding it is wonderful, we saw sloths right outside our room and the monkeys are such fun to watch

    The fact that they don’t allow kids to enter the “adults only area” was an inconvenience because our room (2 adults and one child) was in a separate area as my parents’ room, so then my daughter couldn’t even go to see the room where her grandparents were staying. Also the breakfast options could be expanded.

    Very unique property with lots of interesting restaurants, ocean views, lots of animals. Especially El Avión. The fact that they provide free transportation to the different restaurants located along the road.

    One large towel only. There should be a minimum of two. One for your hair and one for your body. The liquor and wine bottles as lamp shade were ok dotted around, but by the bed it looks tacky

    The ambiance was lovely. It felt like I was staying in a private cabin in the jungle.

    Not really a grumble - but the walks between locations at the hotel can be very steep (sometimes ridiculously so) - which can be slow work in the humid heat - but its a smile price to pay for paradise.

    Unique character to this hotel, with whole or partial aircraft in amongst the tropical vegetation. The adult-only pool and decking has a unique and exceptional vista with views across the coast all the way to Manuel Antonio National Park. This is a truly exceptional location, where we spent many an afternoon hour sipping excellent freshly made fruit smoothies from the bar and watching the never ending display of wildlife (be it an entertaining troop of squirrel monkeys, orange chinned parakeets or even Scarlet Macaws flying past). Note that children have to be 17 or over to accompany parents to this pool location; ours were older than this, but I am aware that those with younger children had more limited locations.

    Careful if cooking on the induction stove. The pan handles get really hot and there are no oven mitts! It is set on a steep hill - so there is some steep climbs both ways.

    Property was amazing set in the side of a hill with lots of vegetation that provided shade and beauty. Lots of monkeys right on site and even some sloths! Quick jaunt downhill to the beach. Lots of restaurants on site that they will shuttle you to, or many others to choose from a short walk away. Rooms are eclectic and fun. Our efficiency unit was small for 4 people for a week, but we made it work. Kitchenette is handy and well stocked with dishes and utensils for its size. Loved our outdoor entry - complete with table and 4 wooden rocking chairs.

    We loved everything!

    The views and beauty of this place are outstanding. The staff are so accommodating and helpful. Rooms were spacious and clean. The wildlife around was fascinating as we saw toucans, howler monkeys, capuchin monkeys, and squirrel monkeys among other things. Situated close to everything and the bus travels directly past so you can take it down to Manual Antonio park and the beach, etc. Perfect location.

    Nice bigger hotel complex close to Manuel Antonio

    Nearly nothing, we had no complains, no problems, it was a very easy 2 nights stay within Manuel Antonio area. A bit more expensive stay (stay, food, activities). There was a bit basic room furniture & equipment in our room, and our room was really small for us (4 persons in 1 queen and 1 king beds) - but for 2 night stay it is fine.

    Nice bigger hotel on a large plot about 2km far from the Manuel Antonio NP entry and about 4km far from Quepos town. There are 3 pools within the hotel complex and several (but not cheap) restaurants in a walking distance.

    We stayed at the Sky Loft with my family of 3 kids. We loved the unique experience of sleeping on an aircraft. The views were breathtaking. The loft has 2 balconies, one huge one where you can enjoy meals while the monkeys play and another one with a breathtaking view for morning coffees. The property was very clean and had everything we needed. The restaurants on site (or short walking distance) served delicious food. Amazing stay to visit Manuel Anotonio park from.

    Nothing

    Near the beach and the road to Manuel Antonio NP. My teenage sons loved the pool and we all appreciated the air conditioning in our room. Great view over the ocean. Staff really helpful. It's on a hill but the free transport service around the site meant that this was not a problem. A highlight was spitting a baby sloth in the trees by one of the restaurants.

    Beautiful view from the Studio + Family room. Around the corner from the pool (but not loud). It was hot and humid but the A/C worked beautifully. Very convenient that there were different restaurants associated with the hotel. The restaurant on the property (Anaconda) had great food and service.
