Location is amazing, close to everything but tucked away enough to be a quiet relaxing stay. Yes the hill is a steep climb, but they offer a lift on the cart or you get a great glute workout. Breakfast was consistently great, best pancakes and gallo pinto. Dinner is also great. Staff are always super nice and helpful. We had more close encounters with wildlife on property than any park we toured. Sloths live on property and monkeys visit every morning. The view is AMAZING. We will be staying again

Great friendly and helpful staff. Amazing views and local wildlife and flowers. Great location, walk to restaurants, shops and Manuel Antonio National Park. Steep hill to the reception and rooms is a work out but no problem if taken steadily and reception provides golf cart rides as needed. Restaurant food very good too.
