The hotel has a great location, just a short walk to the beach and very close to the national park. The staff is friendly and helpful, which made my stay more enjoyable. However, the rooms were quite small, and I found the dining experience to be lacking. Overall, it's a decent option for those wanting to be near the park and beach, but it's not without its shortcomings.

I had a charming stay in this unique hotel built from repurposed shipping containers. The location is excellent, just a short walk to Manuel Antonio National Park and the beach. The rooms are cozy and modern, but the dining options left a bit to be desired. Overall, the service was friendly, but I think more variety in breakfast would enhance the experience. It's a great value for what you pay.

The rooms were large, clean, and offered stunning views of the park and ocean, especially at sunset. The staff was friendly and provided great service, though the dining experience left a bit to be desired, particularly with breakfast options. Overall, I found it to be a good value for money.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was perfect, just a short walk to Manuel Antonio National Park and the beach, which made exploring super convenient. The staff was always friendly and willing to help, which I appreciated. However, my room was in pretty bad condition and didn't look anything like the pictures. The dining options left a lot to be desired, especially for a vegan like me. Overall, I enjoyed my stay but the room and dining definitely could be improved.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which is beautifully located right next to Manuel Antonio National Park. The rooms, renovated from old containers, were clean and suitable for two, though I'd say they are best for just that. The service was fantastic, and the location offered stunning views and easy access to nearby restaurants and the beach. However, the dining experience fell a bit short with some meals being underwhelming. Overall, it's a solid choice for those looking for a great stay near the park with a good value for money.

The hotel has a great location near the beach and restaurants, which I really appreciated. The rooms themselves are comfortable but a bit cramped and could use some decoration. The service was friendly, but I felt the dining options were somewhat limited. Overall, it was a decent stay, but certain aspects could definitely be improved.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is truly unbeatable, being so close to Manuel Antonio Park and the beach. The rooms were spacious but unfortunately, there was a strong mold smell that was quite off-putting. The service was satisfactory, with friendly staff and good attention. While the breakfast was decent, the limited options could use some improvement. Overall, it’s a nice place, but a few tweaks would make it much better.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location was excellent, right near the entrance to Manuel Antonio National Park with stunning views, the rooms were in dire need of renovation and somewhat noisy. The service from the staff was very friendly and helpful, but the dining options left a bit to be desired as the food was just average. Overall, it offers a great location but needs improvement in other areas.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, especially because it's right around the corner from Manuel Antonio National Park, which made visiting super easy. The rooms were a bit cramped with just two beds and no seating areas, but the view from the top floor was nice. Service was friendly, and I appreciated the helpful shuttle service. However, the dining options weren’t the best I’ve experienced; the breakfast was quite limited.

The hotel has a prime location right next to Manuel Antonio National Park and is close to the beach, which is fantastic for outdoor activities. The room I stayed in was made from a shipping container, so it felt a bit cramped, and my view wasn’t ideal as I could only see a rooftop. The service was friendly, and the breakfast was really good, but the room itself didn’t quite meet my expectations for comfort. Overall, it's a great place for the price, but keep in mind the unique room setup.
