The hotel in general was great, well kept, clean, with lots of amenities. Staff was friendly and helpful, went out of their way to help me with my questions. There are complimentary transportation services I didn’t expect. My room was upgraded without me asking for anything. It was an overall great experience

Poor service. Staff is not helpful. The hotel prefers direct booking over Expedia - they gave our room away, put us in a lower-rate room with a promise to refund us the difference, and then didn't process any credits. We did not feel welcome in this hotel.

Because of the humidity the floor in our room on the first floor kept getting wet and slippery. So I would suggest not to book the first floor. The guest service was excellent and they switched us to a different room and even provided a fan as the ceiling fan was not working that well. Everyone that works there was very nice and helpful. The property is being well maintened. Every time we walked outside there were always people taking care of the greenery there or putting pavers in or wiping the glass on the balconies. The beach by it is only 10-15 mins walk and it’s well worth it. The calmest ocean waters I’ve ever been in. The resort is super pretty and we saw tons or animals on the property.

It was great. Not many dining options but the options they have are great. Rooms are comfortable and spacious. Lots of animal sitting and around the property. Overall a great family friendly spot. The only thing is the resort shuts down early no night life unless you taxi into town. We didn’t suffer because we were a party of 25 and just had a great time entertaining ourselves.

This property is great. The rooms are comfortable, the staff is very nice and accommodating. Had a great time overall. One thing to consider if you are going in a large group like I did, we were 25, is that they don't have a restaurant(s) that can sit groups larger than 12. The Fragatta closes at 6 pm can only be enjoyed during the day from 11-6. Breakfast daily is amazing, very hearty and substantial and sets you up to enjoy the day. The shuttle service is only available during the day so go off to a restaurant is not easy unless you have a car or take a taxi. Walking is not suggested as the resort is steep and there are no sidewalks. The wild life is fun and everywhere especially early in the morning and at sunset.

Pretty location, pretty bad service

We'd stayed at The Botanika, Manoa Arenal, Bosque Del Mar and Parador on our stip and the Parador was easily the worst hotel we stayed at. The staff tried to be friendly, but the service was truely poor. From a less the welcoming checkin, to food allergy issues that were managed poorly, to difficulty getting responses to the staff on questions this stay was disspointing. The property itself was nice, and has some great views. Our room was unusual and did not have a traditional bathroom, there was no door and the tub was viewable from the primary sitting/sleeping area. In what was a great trip overall, the biggest thing I would change is choosing another hotel in the Manuel Antonio area.
