We stayed on the beach side of the hotel. Property grounds were gorgeous and filled with wildlife. We skipped the national park entirely as we saw sloths, capuchin monkeys, squirrel monkeys, agoutis, scarlet mccaws, iguanas, and a ton of butterflies right at the hotel on a daily basis.. Restaurant was on the expensive side but very convenient and beach dining was a plus. The only downside is that you can hear a lot of noise from other rooms like doors slamming due to the marble floors and wood ceilings, but we got used to it. We will definitely be staying here again!

The staff have been amazing and kind. Very attentive to your needs. The beach is wonderful and sloths are right by the restaurant so our kids got to see them as well as monkeys. We stayed here last time we were in Costa Rica 10 yrs ago and it hasn't changed. Would recommend staying here.

The hotel is in a nice location, beach is very nice and restraurant is right on the beach. Staff were very friendly and serice minded. Hotel room were clean and the beds were great. Very small and in need of a table or two- nowhere to keep your clothes. Paid for beachfront but the hotel is too far away

Right at the beach, walking distance from Manuel Antonio National Park; beautiful gardens where you could spot white-faced monkeys and birds. Reserve a room in the main building for better views and quick access to the beach. Excellent restaurant and service.

The location can not be beat - free parking and an easy walk down the beach to Manuel Antonio National Park. The restaurant sits on the beach, the rooms are clean, and breakfast was free. I'd definitely go back.

Beachfront hotel with restaurant, breakfast buffet included, at reasonable price. Office staff friendly and helpful. Spacious rooms with excellent AC. Delightful beach, plenty of shade trees, which often host sloth and monkeys! Well tended grounds. Close to restaurants, national park, and more.

I almost hate to review this property because I love it so much. The KEY is to reserve a room in the white building on the ocean side of the road. This last time we were in the building above the road, where there's a lot of road noise and the air conditioning didn't work right (there was water literally pooling on the floor). The second night we moved down the hill to the white building and were very happy. The amazing thing about this hotel is it's right on the best part of Espadilla beach and there are lovely gardens and mature trees, so I've seen sloths and monkeys just on the grounds. The restaurant overlooks the beach and they have tables and chairs on the beach. It's an older hotel, so a little worn around the edges, but that's why they have such a prime location. About a 30 min walk down the beach to the entrance to Manuel Antonio National Park. It's quieter than the crush of hotels that are right by the park. Staff at the hotel are very nice and helpful! Still our first choice for Manuel Antonio.

El hotel está muy bien ubicado, es mejor tomar las habitaciones que dan a la playa ya que hay otras cruzando la calle que no son tan convenientes. El personal del beach club es muy amable por lo que terminamos pasando casi todo el día ahí. Es una muy buena opción en la zona ya que pocos hoteles están en primera línea de playa como este.

Not worth it.
Not the greatest experience. Hospitality isn't great and service everywhere is very slow. Took an hour to get some Nachos for dinner and there were hardly any one at the restaurant eating. Check in is easy but our room was at the top of the stairs and luckily we had small bags because it wasn't an issue for us but if you have large bags, good luck! They don't offer any help either. Wifi is terrible and didn't reach our room. We had to work and it was too hot to sit outside and work so don't count on wifi in the room. Good things: Nice beach access and the room we stayed in had an incredible view! I would not come back here for the price. Maybe everything in Costa Rica is expensive, I am not sure as this was our first time, but for the money, was not worth it. Amazing Airbnb down the street next to the park gate that is 3 minute walk to the beach and 5 minutes to the front gate entrance. 100% recommend that instead!
