Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The location was superb, with easy access to the beach and various restaurants, but some aspects left room for improvement. The rooms varied in quality, and there was a slight inconvenience at the bar regarding expenses. Service was exemplary, especially with the tour arrangements I needed. Dining offered a delightful experience, although with an unexpected charge issue. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few bumps along the way.
My stay at the hotel was like being in a dream, staying in a glass box floating above the rainforest canopy with mesmerizing views of the sea and sky. I enjoyed observing beautiful birds from the balcony, although the room was more suitable for large parties than a couple, which was my oversight.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were nice, comfortable, and clean, making for an excellent experience overall. However, there was a lack of amenities like adequate towels, toiletries, and a hair dryer in the room which was a bit inconvenient. The service was top-notch, with very helpful and cheerful staff who catered to all my planning needs promptly. The location was incredible, high in the hills with stunning views of nearby beaches and unforgettable sunsets. The dining options were great, offering fresh fruits and classic Costa Rican food that went beyond the norm. Overall, a wonderful stay with a few minor drawbacks.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel, with rooms that felt more like part of a boarding house than a high-end hotel, but still, they were quite cozy and comfortable. The top-notch rooms were surprisingly huge, almost like having two rooms in one, easily accommodating a family of four. The service was exceptional with staff going out of their way to be accommodating, especially the receptionist who booked our trip to the national park and shared a shortcut to the beach. However, the dining, although consisting of a lavish Christmas buffet, was nothing extraordinary. The location was perfect, offering stunning views over Manual Antonio and the Pacific Ocean, and you could easily walk to great restaurants within minutes.
My stay at the hotel exceeded my expectations in many ways. The rooms, although a bit basic for my taste, were surprisingly spacious until late in the afternoon during the week. The service was exceptional, particularly with Jason at the front desk and Diego in the restaurant. The location was incredible with breathtaking views of the nearby beaches, although the narrow streets required caution. The dining experience, especially the breakfast with panoramic ocean views, was delightful. The facilities were modern and convenient, adding to a pleasant stay overall.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were a bit outdated but had an incredible view of the lush mountain vegetation just outside my window. The service was top-notch, with the staff going above and beyond to assist with all my travel needs. The location was simply perfect, offering a high international feel with beautiful views and a breeze that made every moment special.
