We were at the end of our Panama/Costa Rica trip and had actually just decided to cut it short because I was starting to feel sick. But we had this last hike to try out and I was just hoping both that I would feel well enough and also that our car would be able to make it back on the very steep gravel road back from the parking spot (after almost getting stuck around Monteverde earlier on the trip). As we’ve been getting used to we were first to arrive so we had this awesome place completely to ourselves for a little while in the morning before other tourists started to drop in. It really felt like a fairytale. (Oh, and the car made it back okay!) #nature #costarica #centralamerica #waterfalls

"We loved our stay here. Pool was great. Pool house had everything we needed. The views were incredible. Pretty easy to get into town. 4x4 is definitely a must to access the house. Check in and out was easy. Felt very safe. Amazing sunsets (short drive up the road). Would love to return here someday!"

"This was an absolutely amazing stay in Manuel Antonio. I did not come for The Nightlife I came for the nature and this location is wonderfully secluded amidst and almost jungle like setting. I got the one bed apartment and it was spacious and on the top floor overlooking the Magnificent pool with full kitchenette. The management and housekeeping and nothing but amazing and hoping to help you with every need you might have. You deserve it to yourself to stay at least one night and shake off the...

"Staff was great. Even greeted me at 1:30 am. Clean accomodations with everything a single peraon or couple would need. Heidy was awesome at booking tours and outtings. Staff very friendly and the wildlive always fun to watch. I'll be back. to"

"I stayed for about 3 weeks. This studio has so much character and felt like a home away from home. The kitchen had more cookware and utensils than my actual kitchen at home! Karen and Harry were fantastic hosts and lovely people in general. I would absolutely stay here again. "

"We had an amazing stay! Itza was very accommodating, and had wonderful recommendations. The house was absolutely beautiful and was just as fantastic as the pictures. As we were not the only guests in the house and weren’t booked in the main house we didn’t have access to the pool, but Itza generously allowed us to use the pool before the other guests arrived. There is nothing I would have changed it was a wonderful experience."

5/5 Excellent

"The hotel has a lovely artistic Costa Rican flavor; the grounds are interesting to walk through with statues and many varieties of birds and butterflies. A lovely outdoor patio adjoined my room, and I enjoyed both the large pools. The Crocodile Grill & Bar served great food and drinks. What really sets the resort apart is the staff - they are absolutely wonderful and SO very helpful; they made me feel so special!!"

"The staff was fantastic! Although our initial room wasn't clean, the manager quickly upgraded us to a better one. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of options, and the free tour was amazing! Out of all the places that we traveled to in Costa Rica, this was the only place that we spotted sloths. 10/10 ☆'s would visit again."

"The view from our room was amazing, could not be beat. Bed was comfortable, bathroom had everything we needed. Pools were nice but could have been a touch warmer for our liking. Dinner, drinks and breakfast all very good but above all staff and service was exceptional. We look forward to staying there again."
