Nice, tranquil hotel. Centrally located, in walkable distance to the beach, restaurants and Manual Antonio Park. Very quite and safe even though it is located right off the main road. Very friendly and helpful staff. One caveat is parking. Very tight and impossible to accommodate a large SUV

Cons-a Towel rack was about to fall out of the wall, wall plugs in some areas could not get to. Pros- towals where available for the beach, and the pizza they serve at the pool where great, 4 min walk to beach and the area was great, Manuel Antonio park tour is a must, it is beautiful and all different animals where incredible, but the best was the employees at the hotel where awesome.
