Stunning hotel!!

Had a great time at the hotel. You really don’t need to go to Manuel Antonio park as you can see macaus, parrots, humming birds,sloths, Tucans around the hotel it self. Beautiful sunrise and sunsets by the pool. One of the best hotels we stayed in. Will come back for sure. Great for families.

Spent 3 nights at this hotel. Room was clean, but needs further update in terms of furnishings but we didn’t mind. The view of the ocean from the room & dining area is SPECTACULAR! The staff was very attentive and the food wonderfully delicious! Would recommend staying here on your trip to Quepos.
