I absolutely loved the location of this hotel, being right next to the national park and only a short walk away from the beach. The rooms were clean, simple, and comfortable, offering a fantastic view from the balcony. However, the uphill walk to reach the room was quite a workout. The dining experience was a bit disappointing, with rooms on the smaller side and not the best taste in food. Overall, a great stay with a few minor drawbacks.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were a little small but nice, and cleanliness was on point. I loved the lovely balcony overlooking the sea, but I expected a bit more based on the website and description.

Staying in the second building made of containers, the room had a strong mold smell, but it did look like the pictures. The surrounding area seems remote, so ensure you have cash and dine early. The proximity to Manuel Antonio National Park is excellent.

The hotel offers a unique stay experience in container-made rooms that feel somewhat narrow but are intriguing. The location is remote but stunning, offering a hillside view near the beach and national park. The dining options may lack variety, yet the fruit is exceptional.

The hotel is ideally situated near the National Park and public beach, offering comfortable rooms with A/C, mini-fridge, and microwave. The need to go to breakfast together may be a minor inconvenience for some, but it's a nice feature for guests with disabilities aiming to stay on a higher floor.
