Great place to stay. As people have mentioned the hills on the property are very steep. It’s also a little dated in the rooms. However if you want some delusion and a great staff it’s a great place to stay. Thanks everyone!

We enjoyed our stay at Shana, the monkeys that live in the trees nearby being regular visitors to the hotel pool and balconies. There is easy access to the beach from the hotel. The pool bar offers 2-4-1 drinks every afternoon and serves very good Woodfired pizzas, burgers, steaks and local cuisine. The small town of Manuel Antonio is around 0.5mike up a steep track, but taxis were easy enough to arrange from the hotel to there and further afield into Quepos. Watching the sunset from the pool bar with pina colada was memorable.

El haber elegido este hotel fue una gran decisión, al cumplir con tener facilidades, así como su cercanía con el Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio. El personal fue atento y amable en todo momento, gran servicio de parte de todo el staff. Sólo siento que la habitación podría ser renovada, pues ya se siente un poco anticuada. Pero en general, la cama estuvo cómoda y el baño también completo.

A little out of the way and the food was pricey but beautiful and close to the beach which can be a trek from other hotels. Currently building additional rooms so a bit noisy but not too bad.
