Love how close it was from the National Park entrance. Great attention from the staff. Wifi was not working most of time. The first elevator did not look or feel very safe. Regarding the breakfast, it will be more convenient if the guests can have both coffee and juice, rather than one option per breakfast.

Great stay
This was different. Hotel made with old containers but it works. Sound proofing between walls was thin. But 2 nights was fine. Stay on the top floor. Best view. steep hill to climb. Not for someone with any knee or hip issues.

El Faro is as pictured, very convenient located next to Manuel Antonio park, literally you can walk to the park, the staff is very nice and polite, Juan Carlos from the restaurant was very attentive and helpful on any type of question we had , he went above and beyond to make sure our stay was pleasant, the food in the restaurant is really good , we booked the studio on the terrace and it had everything that a couple need it (a/c , wifi , mini fridge, coffee maker , bathroom, elevators) the hotel has two pools and a beautiful view to Manuel Antonio beach, so I think is a great value for the money, I sure recommend it

The staff was amazing the restaurant awesome food. It’s just not everything it describes to be and what I didn’t like about. It is the beds. The beds are hard as a rock. They are outdated. The facility is 10 years old and I would assume the bed are the same.

Bonito lugar para estadías cortas, un lugar apto para niños, pero no para personas que les moleste la buya cuando hay varios parlantes con diferente música o niños jugando. Muy conveniente por la cercanía a la entrada principal al parque Manual Antonio. El restaurante tiene muy buena vista y la comida es muy buena y a precio razonable
