2-night family trip

2/10

We were moved between two rooms within one night and both were unsafe. The first room had leaking pipes in the wall, dripping AC, loose electrical wires in bathroom, smelled like mold and was quite literally falling apart (parts of cabinets on the floor!). The second room had a large hole we found behind our daughters bed where a bat flew out and kept swooping at us our first (and only!) night there. We had to terminate our stay and drive all the way back to San Jose (ruining our vacation and paying for new flights) for our Daughter to get the health department required rabies vaccines (totalling $1700US and requiring 4 trips to the ER). The hotel owner took a full week to reply to us and only offered us a refund of half so we have filed a dispute with our credit card company. They photographed us in our car as we left (trying to prove we stayed one night) even though we never slept a wink. The only reason we had to stay was because we didn’t feel safe driving all the way to the airport (hours) during the night and no manager would be available to speak to us until 6:30am. This hotel has quite literally caused us thousands of dollars of damage and, yet, they are fighting for money for nights we were not even able to enjoy. They ruined our long awaited vacation and in no way made us feel any of the Pura Vida we had come to love about Costa Rica. They should be ashamed.
Pipe leaking behind the wall upon entry
Water pours out of the wall when the shower is on. This is the other side of the wall pictured above.)
AC dropped all over our opened luggage. Whole room smelled of mold.
Look at this set up-nothing like the room pictured online that we paid $350/night for. It’s falling apart.

Spent 300 per night. The location is on a cliff, so it’s hell of a drive to get in and out of the area (if you wanna go to the national park or downtown). when we first arrived, the receptionist spent 3 minutes going over the layover of the resort and promised a guided tour will be done with a golf cart, but didn’t happen. When got to the room, the curtain didn’t close and was obviously missing a piece. Called the front desk, who said someone will be over in 10 minutes. Waited 15 minutes for someone to get there, who took a look and said will be back in 5 minutes, and ofc he didn’t come back in time. Obviously I didn’t wanna waste time waiting for them, so I went to the front desk physically, which btw, is also a hell of a hike uphill, the lady told me that she’s working on a solution, but no details and timeline. So I decided to explore the beach, while they are working on a “solution”, meanwhile we’ve already wasted 40 minutes. When we came back from the beach, another 45 minutes later, they were in our room fixing, along with a manager, who basically told us to soilder through the night and will replace a new one next day. And she didn’t mention anything like “I’m sorry” or “apologies.” To make the matter worse, we got locked out twice because they failed to change the batteries. The breakfast is also terrible, linens are dirty and old, there’s no sound isolation, and useless staff. Overall, absolute nightmare and so not worth the money

The rooms, the pool, and the restaurant all deserve 5/5 stars. So does their guest services team who helped us book a couple of fun adventures (surfing lessons and a tour of Manual Antonio National Park). That said, overall I'm giving 4/5 stars because of a few misses on service: 1) we booked two rooms via hotels.com under the same reservation and the hotel staff didn't think to put our rooms near each other. Not even in the same building, which was inconvenient for our family of 6. They did their best to get us closer by the second day, which I appreciated, and which helps them retain 4/5 stars. Maybe I didn't add a note in my reservation requesting they hold rooms near each other, but IMHO I shouldn't have to; 2) they never found time to make up our room. We were there two nights, and they never knocked or anything. We even requested they do it while we went out, but nothing. Part of the reason we do hotel/resorts is to have our rooms serviced each day. And 3) they asked if I'd like to open a tab with the hotel and then it didn't seem to work at the restaurant and they wanted my signature at checkout as well instead of just letting us leave the keys in our room and go. That makes me sound lazy, and frankly, I'm looking for a 5/5 hotel to do everything in their power to let me be as lazy as I'd like to be. We had a great time, and we'd probably go back. But it wasn't a slam dunk, which it could have been if they were slightly more customer experience obsessed.

It was a very unique property with monkeys seen daily . Buffet breakfast was great with multiple options . William the guest service person was super helpful and willing to assist with all our excursions and transportation needs . The staff was amazing and always smiling and accommodating. Unfortunately our room was dated with appliances that did not function properly, the counter around the bathroom sink was broken and the taps very loose. Also the toilet was held to the floor with only one nut and appeared to be leaking . The toilet barely flushed as well .

This is my second time visiting Manuel Antonio. Amazing property and employees. We were always greeted with a smile. The food was very good and when you stay there you receive a 15% discount on food and drinks. They gave you a tour of the property and provided important information upon check in. The only problem I had was the key cards were disabled twice during my stay (I did not keep them near electronics) I would definitely recommend this property!!

Very nice hotel with close access to the beach, where you can rent chairs, kayaks, and snorkel. It is a very steep walk up the hill to the main road where there are several restaurants, coffee shop, and supermarket. Guest services arranged for our tours to Manuel Antonio, making planning excursions easy.

Very nice location, With access to a semi private beach. Overall, this is a 3 1/2 star resort. We struggled a bit with Service at the pool. The continental breakfast was more than I expected and very nice. Staff was very friendly. ultimately, Costa Rica has become rather expensive.

Great hotel I will be back. My only complaint was the air conditioner. I feel like they need another. One for the size of the room was very hard to get the temperature down to a normal range. The staff are amazing and it's in a beautiful location. I will be back.
