Reviews:

‘Old world elegance and intimacy that many hotels do not have today. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable and sitting on the balcony reading a book and admiring the stunning views is just spectacular. The hotel has the best views in Manuel Antonio and the service to go with them.’

‘The views at the hotel are one of the top 5 in the world!! They go on and on and are to die for. Everywhere on the property has a great view and a lot of time went into the development of the gardens. The pools also have superb views that are best admired with a cocktail in hand.’

‘It was like walking into a new room everyday; the rooms were immaculate and very well presented with private balconies and views that went on and on. The staff at the hotel were very pleasant and treated us with respect and the level of service we expected. A truly great hotel in Manuel Antonio.’
