The staff at the hotel was amazing - so helpful and friendly. Our rooms were cleaned daily with a different little animal made from towels each day. The pool was warm and clean, and we watched the monkeys play in the trees and toucans and macaws fly around. Walkable to the beach, many restaurants, shops, and Manuel Antonio national park. I would definitely stay there again

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.

Two properties combined into one hotel. Each with pool though 'Gardens' has no bar or restaurant which is based in the other site a couple of minutes across the road. Room was decent with a safe and a fridge. Thanks to Yafit and Eric for being helpful and friendly.

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.

We had an above and beyond exceptional time at this property! It’s walking distance to the beach literally just takes three minutes… lots of great restaurants right by the hotel if you choose to not eat at the hotels restaurant… local vendor selling unique souvenirs discount prices, walking distance to the park Manuel Antonio national park… the Hotel staff was some of the kindest and most accommodating professional people that we’ve ever encountered… the room was clean and efficient and literally had everything we needed… they have cute cabanas by the pool where you can relax. The pool is amazing!!! we didn’t see any animals on the Hotel property, but we did see a ton of them at the national park nearby and honestly, we should’ve just stayed longer at this hotel because everything was so wonderful there. There’s literally no other hotel that anyone should ever stay at because this one’s so close to the beach and such a perfect location and everything you could want. I don’t care how much money you have. This hotel is amazing. But I will warn you that the eggs Benedict were terrible…. The pancakes are whole-grain, banana pancakes, and they’re the best things I’ve ever eaten…. At least it felt that way while I was eating them… and possibly everything else on the breakfast menu is good. The problem is is that they put some kind of fruit juice in the hollandaise sauce on their eggs Benedict and I guess they wanted to make it tropical but it just didn’t work. Still 100 stars.

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.
