The staff were extremely helpful. We had problem with our first room and we were easily accommodated with a move to a different room. Breakfast was delicious with many different dishes and the location was superb. Within a 5 minute walk of the beach and from Manuel Antonio National Park

Really close walk to the beach and restaurants, as well as Manuel Antonio Park. Location was great! Hotel is a boutique, and smaller, but was really nice. Seemed like most of the hotels in the area were also boutique.

The place is clean and walking distance to Manuel Antonio National park which was perfect because we didn’t have to deal with looking for parking. The staff is also nice and responsive on WhatsApp.

Very nice hotel. It was the perfect location- a three minute walk to the beach and a five minute walk to Manuel Antonio National Park. Nice pool and amenities and friendly staff. The room was on the small side for the three of us but it was fine. We also had a big patio and garden space.

I loved the pool area and the short walk to the beach and the park. The breakfast at the Puerto Escondido at the sister property next door (also walking distance) was excellent and a lifesaver for our family. The gift shop was awesome, and you can rent a boogie board for $10 dollars a day. The property was also surprisingly quiet given the fact that the park entrance is super close and the beach access is super close. Staff was super helpful and kind, made little arrangements with the towels after cleaning our room in the morning. Great parking. The room could use another suitcase stand or a dresser. The entry/exit is really hard to turn out of. The property across the street needs to put a mirror, it was so scary every time we left the grounds.

Lovely atmosphere with private feel yet still very close to beach and park. Breakfast on site was good and many places to eat within walking distance. The nature walk on property feels more 'jungle' then the trails in the park itself. We had two rooms side by side which worked well for our family of four. Pool area is very nice with shaded palapas. Trail at end of parking lot to beach which is flat and off the main road. Highly recommend if you want a smaller, quiet resort within easy walking distance to beach.
