    However, the lack of a microwave was disappointing. We also would have liked to have had at least a small table with chairs on the porch. Also, some maintenance is needed on the broken shelf supports in the bedroom.

    The view of the ocean and hillsides from the porch was wonderful. The cable TV, full-size refrigerator, toaster and coffee maker were much appreciated, as well as the on-site parking.

    We couldn't open the windows as there wasn't any secure mosquito nets. We had two tiny house geckos. It could be cleaner, the shelf under the sink wasn't cleaned when we checked in and it looked like sickness on the shelf. However it was cleaned when we mentioned it, so no problems. There was a smell of sewage in the bathroom after we had a shower and the water stopped, but it was all fixed very quickly. . But overall the apartment is VERY GOOD!

    Amazing view of the ocean, just stunning. Very quiet vibe The apartment is nice Netflix installed and the kid's profile was set up in English language - very easy to access Relaxing hammock and outside area The woman at reception is very nice! Very spacious apartment, with lots of space to hang up clothes. The bathroom is huge.

    The place advertised itself as having a pool but turns out that's not for the room we chose, which is not fair advertising. Air con in rooms but not lounge area, so lounge area got pretty warm. Advertised as having games available but it was just chess, nothing else

    Spacious, great view from balcony and could do some bird spotting! nice hammocks, well enough equipped kitchen in our apartment

    Very beautiful apartment with good kitchen. It's situated directly at the main road, so it's easy to reach different restaurants, small supermarkets and there is also a bus going directly to the national park (you are not directly there). The from our bungalow to the sea was really beautiful and you can chill in the hammock there (though in the evening mosquitos were biting us there)

    Shower pressure was poor. Apartment was very dark and could do with some better lighting, cupboards to be fixed.

    Great location between Quepos and Manuel Antonio - we had a car but seen the bus up and down the road a lot. Supermarket, restaurants nearby. Lovely to have the balcony with the view and to sit out for breakfast/ read a book in the hammock. Glad to have the coffee maker, everything else in the apartment to cook during our stay.

    Restaurant was upstairs and pretty noisy, bathroom was turning into a pool whenever we had shower. Kitchen amenities could be cleaner & in good condition.

    Overall, it was pretty good except a few things. Amazing view and terrace. We love the landscape. Wifi was good for remote work. Car is a must.

    The sofa bed was not comfortable- the end kept collapsing and there was a hard ridge in the middle. Fortunately, I’m quite small so was able to sleep sideways and this didn’t detract from our stay.

    Wonderful location. Incredible views across to the sea. Good kitchen. Warm and friendly receptionist greeted us.

    Not super social, but small enough that it is very easy to get talking to people :)

    The view was unreal!!! I thought I wouldn't see a single sunset because of wet season and cloudy weather, but it blew my mind away. The use of the kitchen was also greatly appreciated. The dorm had pretty big lockers and the A/C worked really well. I am also very grateful to the staff - not only were they incredibly kind during my entire stay, they helped solve an uncomfortable issue I was having at the hostel. I love the receptionist especially!

    If you are coming to check in later and reception not at front desk. Just go straight to the restaurant at front of property to get help with check in. Helped 2 different groups with sending them back up to restaurant. Not a big deal just nice to know when you arrive.

    The balcony and kitchen had the most amazing view. Always clean. Hammocks and tables and chairs to look out to the ocean and mountains. 4 bed mixed dorm was nice. Small room. Had lockers available to lock stuff away. Air conditioner was a nice added feature. Plenty of bathrooms and showers in case one was busy. All the staff were really nice.

    Our apartment was certainly rustic, but it was clean and the AC worked well. Thanks for a great stay!

    We stayed in one of the Seaview apartments. The sunsets from our large deck were amazing. We saw Macaws and Toucans from our deck!
