Restaurants in walking distance but far from the busier area of Quepos so it was quiet. But Quepos is only a $1 ride away from the hotel. 3-5minute walk to Manuel Antonio Natl Park which was our main destination. Quiet. Beautiful people. Very nice room.

Amazing staff and perfect location with a short 2 minute walk thru some palm trees to the beach! Will definitely be recommending this place to friends - had to rank the breakfast 4 stars because there were ants crawling on the fruit at the buffet. BUT....it's Costa Rica so....

Staff was super helpful with restaurant recs, arranging park guides, and spa treatments at another hotel. Room was very clean, facilities well kept and the atmosphere around the pool/bar/restaurant very peaceful and beautiful! The location is great because it’s at a dead end in the road so it’s quieter than other properties in the area.

The bungalows are a bit rustic, which o loved. My bungalow was very clean, the bed and pillows are comfortable, the bathroom is spacious and has a great shower. The AC works well. There’s an area by the sink to hang clothes. The refrigerator is spacious. The desk was perfect for me to set up my laptop. I needed to borrow an adapter from the front desk, which was no problem. Overall it was a great stay and I would stay there again.
