Guest Reviews
- Jonnathan (10/5): - Todo bien
- Eric (8/5): - Hotel is very close to Manuel Antonio National Park and the beach. Gabriel Sanchez in the front desk was very professional and courteous. The facility needs new bath towels, towel rack was falling off the wall. Otherwise the room was spacious and clean.
- Sandra (8/5): - I like the area where it was located, personnel was friendly too, pool very clean and parking was easy access but i did not like that I requested a double room and was given a single room.
- Deanette (6/5): - The location is ideal for a visit to the beaches or Manuel Antonio national park. The facility has some good points location, authentic vibe however it definitely needs some upgrades in the amenities (very scratchy towels, no blow dryer, old bath rug, screen for window in the bathroom, no chair or sitting area though the room had the space) the listing said there was laundry facilities however those were not for guest use, we had to leave it with staff to wash which though it was nice ended up costing us $30 for one load and we had to wait 24 hours.
- Yannick (6/5): - Ok
- Farik (4/5): - Well located, as you can come on public transport and reach the hotel in less of 10 minutes of walking.
Good point also to be next to the park.
- Randy (10/5): - And have you check me in and had my room available early, I was just expecting to drop my luggage. That was so nice. He took me out straight to my room and explained all the amenities.
Wish I knew his name for this post, but he was great
- Edher (4/5): - El hotel cuenta con 2 áreas el área vieja en malas condiciones el cuarto faltó de limpieza tierra en el área de clóset y bajo las camas. Telarañas en la parte baja de la cama lo que hizo revisarlas para no hubiera arañas peligrosas. el baño terrible lleno de moho y lleno de telarañas y la ventana sucia . Las toallas desgastadas y rotas. Nos quedamos sin agua y tardaron en restablecer el servicio. El área de la alberca no es como se ve en las fotos, con proceso de construcción y la palapa ocupada por todos los materiales.
- Manuel A. (8/5): - Excelente servicio de recepción y personal. La única decepción es que se muestra con alberca cuando apenas la están construyendo.
- Alejandro Coto (8/5): - La estancia estuvo muy bien
- Verified traveler (4/5): Great location but rooms broken and need updating - Can not beat the location and easy walking to everything in Manuel Antonio. If you are okay with a minimalistic room, a bathroom that does not function and simple amenities this place is fine. Or biggest issue was a non-functioning shower even when we asked for it to be fixed they tried could not and only on our last day gave us a a room with a functioning shower.
The upside of lack of bathroom functionality is the location. It's a two minute walk to the gates of Manuel Antonio park, monkeys are often seen on the property, easy walk to Manuel Antonio village for dinner or more beach.
The hotel itself has a lovely enough pool and the hot-tub is not hot so basically two pools. Beds are comfortable. furniture old and worn.
Honestly the hotel is basic, but we went there for the location and the location was perfect. If you don't spend a lot of time in your room this spot is fine.
- Zhao (10/5): - The staff is very friendly and provides great tour suggestions to the park. It is very conveniently located to the park if you plan to visit, a 2-min walk to the main entrance. The room is clean and sufficient.
- Oscar Antonio (10/5): - Me gustó la habitación y limpieza lo que siento que faltó q el desayuno muy significativo
- Lizbeth (10/5): - Muy cerca de la entrada principal al Parque Manuel Antonio,la piscina y jacuzzi excelentes para descansar después del recorrido.
El desayuno gratis también es muy bueno..!!
- Dustin (10/5): - Nice place close to the trail head.
They let you park there while your in the park for the day also.
- Ricardo (10/5): Cómodo, barato y cerca del Parque Nacional - La habitación estuvo limpia, amplia, cómoda, y bien ventilada. El baño también es amplio, cómodo y limpio.
Queda muy cerca de la entrada al parque nacional y de la playa, tiene cerca varios restaurantes.
El desayuno está bien, el hotel tiene restaurante pero no lo usé.
A las piscinas le falta algo de mantenimiento, le faltan algunas piezas de mosaico, pero se apreciaban limpias y fue muy útil después de caminar por todo el parque.
Por el precio está muy bien y ha sido uno de los hoteles más cómodos en los que he estado en la zona.
- Roberto (6/5): Podría mejorar muchos aspectos - Lo mejor la ubicación.
Tienen abandonada la zona más antigua del hotel.
Hay un edificio nuevo con apartamentos que aparentemente lo tienen más cuidado.
La piscina sucia.
El hotel por ubicación y características sería uno de los mejores de la zona si se preocuparan más de las instalaciones.
- Ana K (10/5): La mejor opción - Dudé en hospedarme en el hotel por la calificación que tiene, pero realmente me encantó. Estando allá vi las otras opciones que revisé antes de decidirme por este hotel y sin duda fue la mejor opción.
La habitación de muy buen tamaño, cama cómoda, bien la regadera, limpio, buen aire acondicionado y se ve que la parte del hotel donde me hospedé está recién remodelada.
La ubicación es ideal, ya que está a unos pasos del parque, restaurantes, playa y parada de autobús.
El área de la alberca podría estar mejor, aunque realmente preferí pasar más tiempo en la playa.
El check in un poco lento, pero la atención buena.
Excelente relación calidad-precio e incluye desayuno.
- Damaris (2/5): - No me gusto la habitación porque lo q mostraron en internet no era lo q esperaba el baño no cuenta con aire acondicionado y la ventana de cedazo estaba rota se metían los insectos y las hormigas
Las almohadas eran cogines muy pequeños
Les deseo una pronta remodelación en todo y gracias por tomar en cuenta mi opinión
- Verified traveler (2/5): The pool is disgusting! Don't use hotels.com - This place was in a nice location and the room itself was clean, but the pool was filthy. Also, I would not recommend Hotels.com. I booked another hotel as part of my trip and when I got their and the hotel was no longer in operation, and it was a nightmare dealing with hotels.com.
When I started demanding my money back, a pushy person who spoke broken English called to sell me ANOTHER hotel, but refused to give me my money back. I am realizing hotels.com is a racket.
- Raschid (6/5): - El lugar no es muy limpio.. El sanitario de la habitación no servía..
- Marie-Louise (8/5): - Rent og god airconditioning - crowded og meget civiliseret sted fordi det ligger meget tæt ved Manuel Antonio parken
- SC (6/5): - Excelente ubicación y atención, la habitación muy limpia y equipada. Pero el hotel no tiene privacidad, ya que no hay portón y al frente de las habitaciones es parqueo público. El desayuno tico no estaba rico.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Tiene muy buena ubicación y personal muy amable y atento
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Lo que más me gustó fue la localización
Lo que no me gustó fue la piscina
- Johan (6/5): Hotel cómodo y tranquilo - No es un hotel de lujo pero se pasa cómodo
- Nadia (8/5): Simples e bom custo beneficio! - Gostamos do hotel! Cama boa chuveiro bom! Fomos bem atendidos na recepção e nos deixaram entrar mais cedo no quarto já que tinham um limpo já! Café da manhã não há porém há um restaurante e se pode comprar café e outros pratos típicos. Bom wifi! Estacionamento bastante aberto e exposto porém há um guarda que fica durante a noite por lá! Voltaremos!
- Merrill (10/5): Visiting the national park - It was a great stay!
- Verified traveler (6/5): Económico pero muy sencillo - Cumple sólo para la función de tener un lugar donde dormir y nada más. Incluso el Internet wi fi no tiene buena recepción y te tienes que acercar a recepción.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Hotel en la pura entrada del parque - El hotel está bien, un poquito descuidado pero el personal es muy atento y amable
- Silvia (2/5): Hotel close to Manuel Antonio National Park - Absolutely horrible! Broken toilet seat. AC was not working properly. Very outdated.
- cor (8/5): Alles goed behalve personeel. - Alles goed. Locatie, kamers, faciliteiten. Helaas was de eigenaresse een kenau.
Personeel wordt onder druk gezet waardoor zij ook niet vriendelijk zijn.
Ontbijt moet apart betaald worden. Is goed maar er wordt tweemaal voor hetzelfde ontbijt verschillende prijzen berekend.
- Agatha (10/5): Nice small hotel - take a cab from the bus stop! - Nice and quiet hotel. Rooms are what you would expect- not high end, but clean. There is a fridge which is extremely helpful. Close to a small market and literally 2 minutes to Manuel Antonio. Word of advice if you are taking the public bus to Manuel Antonio- save yourself the sweat and muscle strain and get a cab from the bus stop to the hotel. The road to the hotel is very rocky, so pulling luggage is challenging and exhausting. While the other road to get to the hotel is uphill. The hotel is about a 5 minute walk to the beach. Overall a great a stay.
- Pablo (10/5): Todo perfecto - Hotel con muy buena ubicación, a 150 msts de la playa y 50 mts del parque nacional. Muy cómoda la habitación, piscina, y parque. Impecable la atención del personal.
- Sarah (4/5): - Very expensive for what we got - one towel each and a tiny bar of soap handed over on arrival. No water glasses in room. Restaurant poor with noisy music. Our friend was woken at 9:30 pm because there'd been a confusion with payment (on arrival - another mean appraoch to welcoming guests). We would not choose this hotel again.
- Mel (4/5): Lousy Wi-Fi and pricey given the lower quality - Hotel wasn't terrible, but Wi-Fi was very flaky from my room. Mobile signal in Manuel Antonio is very spotty overall with typically 0 mobile signal from the rooms. So without Wi-Fi you'll have no way to communicate at all. Room appeared clean and bed was comfortable. Realize the this is NOT the Hotel Manuel Antonio which is a nicer looking building right on the beach. This is Hotel Manuel Antonio PARK and they are NOT the same. Hotel manager could use a lesson in customer service but the other staff was awesome. The second time my internet went out the manager was in the office when I went to tell them and he proceeded to tell me that Wi-Fi was an additional service and for the price I was paying I should not expect it to be reliable. Overall I felt this as a two star hotel with four star prices.
- Jeannette (10/5): Manuel Antonio ... Genial !!! - Hotel muy bien ubicado y el entorno es muy bonito.
- Joan (6/5): Hotel cerca del parque de Manuel Antonio - Mal mantenido y con pocas comodidades en las habitaciones
- Jean (2/5): Les moustiques mais sans eau chaude - Dès l'accueil à la réception, nous dérangeons le réceptionniste. Il ne répond pas à mon salut. Il encaisse d'avance le prix de la location, et une fois réglé, me montre la chambre. Grande, avec TV , climatisation, une chaise une table, deux lits doubles. IL N'Y A PAS DE COFFRE OU DEPOSER argent et passeport. La pièce est envahie de moustiques. Un ruisseau où coule un jus sale, longe les chambres. De vieux pneus entassé dans un coin du parking sont autant de nids à moustiques.
Des toiles d'araignée décorent l'arrière de la TV. La pièce est sale, elle donne le blues. La salle de bain est spartiate. La douche n'a qu'un seul robinet, d'où ne coule que de l'eau à la température des tuyaux. Il n'y a pas de robinet d'eau chaude.
Le parking est gratuit pour les clients. Je n'ai pas vu de garde la nuit.
- Verified traveler (2/5): Convenient, outdated hotel - Call Hotel Impossible - The check-in process consisted of a non-English speaking employee handing me towels and remote controls from the tiny office. He did carry my daughter's bag to our room. The property is very outdated. The room I stayed in had peeling paint. The beds and pillows were ultra thin. The bathroom had a window with only a screen and no curtain with an air conditioning unit just outside of it. They made up the room while we were gone. The restaurant area was not too inviting and since breakfast was an additional $10, we ate at a nice local place <100 meters down the street for around $5. The pop-up souvenir vendors set up shop right across the road from the hotel. We had to return our towels and remote controls to the office when checking out.
- Alberto (4/5): Ugly hotel - Very bad experience. Ugly hotel. Expensive food. Close to the beach. Poor quality
- Ana (6/5): Hotel within walking distance to beach and park - The hotel was decent. The room I stayed in was clean and pretty comfortable. There was air conditioning and towels. It's a very simple room, no fridge or even a safe. But it was all I needed because I spent most of my time on the beach which was just a few minutes away. Very convenient to just leave my rental car at the hotel and walk. Finding parking around the area for the beach and the National Park is a little crazy. The area is very safe as well, even at night as there is a security guard watching the hotel.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Barato pero muy deficiente - El personal de la recepción fue muy poco atento desde el inicio. Cuando reservé se me dijo que el cargo se haría al hacer check-in, sin embargo el cargo del 50% se hizo automáticamente y desde que llamé no se me prestó ayuda.
La habitaciones son limpias sin embargo las zonas verdes están en muy mal estado y hay mal olor aparentemente por un problema de aguas servidas o negras. Además las camas son incómodas.
Lo que más malestar me generó es que no cumplen las condiciones descritas en hoteles.com ya que no permiten pagar en el hotel.
Por otro lado, la última noche tuvimos que soportar mucho ruido de la habitación contigua.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - No service...basically, they just clean the room...
- Omar (10/5): Excelente para descansar y cerca de todo - Excelente experiencia. El personal fue muy amable, José en el restaurante del hotel nos atendió de manera impecable. El hotel está muy cerca del parque nacional y todo queda accesible a pie. Muchas tiendas de souvenirs, restaurantes y la playa queda a 5 minutos caminando.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Excellent customer service - Impressive service. I complained about the wifi and they actually put a router near my room to make it work. Excellent customer service.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Very basic a mattress in a totally empty room we meant to make res at hotel manurl antonio
- Tim (6/5): - Pleasant yet uninformed staff at hotel.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist durchaus OK, und auch die Lage sehr nahe beim Park-Eingang war praktisch.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice hotel close to beach and the park. Excellent staff.
- carskum (2/5): Dump close to beach & park - Terrible dump of a hotel. Dirt ground, unkempt. Cramped office that serves as joke of a reception. Staff doesn't speak English. Rooms are cramped and basic. The 19" TV doesn't work and is nailed to the wall as an afterthought. Spotty wi-fi at best. Bathroom is the worst. Unclean, hugely cramped and shower is a joke. Perfect vacation to buy for your terrible mother in law. We ran away after one very disappointing night and shifted to another hotel in peak season. This despite it has near perfect location close to beach and next to Manuel Antonio park entrance.
How did I end up here if it was so bad? Thanks to Expedia showing 5 star rating and comments from over 90 guests. I was incredulous after I landed there and saw the condition of the hotel and room. Rechecked the comments and turns out there are multiple properties called Manuel Anotonio and the comments are mostly for Villa Manuel Antonio and none for this property. Shameful, negligence and misleading on the part of Expedia.
