The experience of staying in a hotel's take on jungle glamping is fun, staying in a semi-cavas tent surrounded by jungle and with a private plunge pool was a welcome reprieve to cool off from the Costa Rican sun and humidity. The room was a private bungalow and the aircon kept the space cool and humidity under control. Keeping with the camping vibe, downsides are: a firm mattress and uncomfortable pillows, a limited (but tasty) breakfast - serving a breakfast of the day rather than offering any choice, and a sliding door that separates a toilet / shower, not such a problem for a couple but families or friends may find this lack of privacy an issue. The hotel is situated a few minutes drive from the main road (initially a bit tricky to locate) - there is a big restaurant immediately next door (Ronnie's), else you need to drive (or taxi) for meals out. The benefit is being a quiet and tranquil location, with the feel of being immersed in the rainforest. Note the entrance to the Manuel Antonio National Park is a 15 minute drive. We enjoyed our stay and the staff were attentive - but is feels less boutique and more glamping, so 2/3 nights is the most we would recommend staying.
