Vistas espectaculares y muy buena atención.

En la piscina no había sobra porque las sombrillas no tenían lona, solo la estructura metálica.

I will return if the possibility comes up in future

Everything you expect from a beach getaway is readily accessible

The rooms are small and uncomfortable for extended periods between activities

Muy buena ubicación y servicio

Las habitaciones están muy bien equipadas, son cómodas. el restaurante es bueno si uno quiere quedarse a comer ahí mismo. La ubicación es muy buena está a solo metro de la entrada al parque nacional y la playa espadilla norte. También las vistas desde las habitaciones o desde el restaurante son espectaculares

La subida al hotel es bastante compleja si venís cargado o tenes problemas de movilidad. De cualquier manera hay un carrito de golf siempre a disposición para subirte.

Very good

Such a nice place to stay, very good prices, unique view and location to visit the National Park and beach. I'd recommend to go early at restaurant for breakfast since it can get crowded and delayed to serve, but the breakfast options are very good and tasty!.

Please for the love of god do not feed the monkeys!!

I had a great stay here, I would totally recommend to a friend to do the same! The view is truly unbeatable, and the staff are wonderful too. My favorite part of the stay is that I could just leave my valuables in the room, walk right to the waves, and not have to worry about my stuff. You can hear the ocean from the upper floors even. So chill, no stress. Nice pools too. Very family friendly. Be advised that you cannot simply show up to Manuel Antonio national park and expect to waltz in. It is very restricted for good reason, so you need to get your ticket from SINAC well in advance or book a naturalist tour. I booked my tour for the park myself, but since i had a free afternoon I popped into the reception and got some help booking a parasailing experience on the beach. I was grateful for that A few things that you might need to know that didn't bug me much at all but might affect your decision: * Here you have to put your toilet paper in the trash, not the toilet. This is fairly common in Costa Rica, but not universal. I've done that before in other countries and still, I would understand someone's hesitance to shower in the same room as their stinky business. Just FYI. It's probably the same elsewhere in the Manuel Antonio area, as it certainly is in restaurants that I visited. * Manuel Antonio is a truly priceless habitat to some incredible wildlife. This is probably at least one reason you are interested! Just know that the animals don't consider your room or balcony off limits. It is easy for insects to sneak in when you open the door for instance. More importantly, the local white face capuchin monkeys frequent the hotel because idiots leave snacks out. This is dangerous because if you encounter a monkey, you might need to go to the hospital. Also it is not good for the monkeys. Be responsible please and don't leave food out for them.

My only complaint really is how steep the hill is getting there. If you like, you can ask the staff in reception to carry you up in a golf cart or use the elevator in the lower building to get to the platform where you can cross to the higher one. I didn't feel like bothering anyone or using the rather hot elevator so I was

10/10 perfect view

We were moved to a room with clean view for free. The hotel borders the park so we saw monkeys and iguanas every day! The staff were very helpful and arranged a park visit with a guide for us even with little notice. The breakfast was amazing, best burrito I’ve ever had!

I think because it was low season the restaurant wasn’t open in the evening

Amazing view, enjoyable stay! Plus monkeys!

Located very close to the entrance of Manuel Antonio National Park. Shops and restaurants nearby. Short walk to the beach. Friendly staff. 2 swimming pools. Nice view of the surrounding area to the ocean from the terrace. Monkeys playing on the roof and in tree tops make for enjoyable animation. First stay at a container hotel! Would stay at this property again!

Since the property is located on a hill, there are some stairs to climb to reach it. Breakfast is served. Buffet style would be better, especially when there are many people and you have to wait for quite some time to be served.

Our visit to Manuel Antonio was enhanced by our stay at El FARO. We would definitely stay there again.

The view is fantastic, and the staff wonderful. Having parking on the property is a plus.

Nice rooms, views and staff

Cool concept (using old shipping containers to create the rooms), good location right next to the entrance to Manuel Antonio NP, nice pool(s), lovely views and nice and quiet (here was the best I slept in 10 days). The staff we really friendly and helpful too.

The entrance to the rooms is at the front and you enter with a key card. I locked myself out twice, because I went out to look at the views over the balcony, shut the door behind me to keep the cool air in and the bugs out, leaving my keycard inside by mistake. Actual locks (that you turn with a key) would be better for this type of hotel.

Good hotel in Manuel Antonio

The view from the balconies and as well as from the breakfast restaurant is amazing. It is very close to the beach, the staff are very friendly and arranged us a taxi at 1 am. The breakfast is delicious. We liked the big shower.

The room needs upgrade and very small.

Smelly

Hotel constructed out of sea containers so rooms are not for claustrophobics! They are long and narrow with no windows but do have glass doors At the front with great views. however bit like sleeping in a box. my room stank of disinfectant which turned my stomach and when it rained and wind got up overnight the iron sea container rooms were very noisy like being in the bottom cabins on a ship in a storm - not a nice experience

The worst hotel I’ve ever been

Nothing, the service was terrible, hotel looked dated and really not what was offered on the pictures.

The room was flooded, cleanliness was seriously doubtful. The staff treated us like criminals and we got kicked out. Facilities were not for disabled people and they should be by law.
