The host was wonderful and even met as at the front of the property to take us to our location. He answered all our questions and gave us a tour. The view was amazing and the pool was right there!

El Faro Containers Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The view, the staff and the rooms. Affordable and awesome."

Mountain Top Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"Beautiful views, but needs improvementThe hotel is beautiful and the room view is spectacular; we even spotted monkeys from the balconies. However, the drive up is stressful and there is construction on-site. From our balcony, we could see a half-finished pool with construction materials. The room is okay, but the bed and pillows are too firm for me (my husband was fine with it). Breakfast is good and complete, but the flies are a constant issue. We didn't hike the trails, but they look lovely and guides are available. I expected a bit more from this stay in Manuel Antonio."

La Mariposa Hotel

"un hotel con excelente ubicación, habitaciones con una vista espectacular y dentro de un ambiente rodeado de flora y fauna"

Villa Roca Boutique Resort & Suites-ADULT ONLY
