I loved the staff and the restaurant was really affordable. The pool looked like it could use a little work, but we only went swimming once. I also loved the location and the view. The actual room was a little small as we had to share it with our 2 kids, but the AC was cold and there was a lot of wildlife right outside our room, even a sloth, so that was really cool. The staff was beyond amazing. I would definitely stay there again if I go back to Costa Rica.

I loved everything about this place!! Manuel Antonio is a magically place and the El Faro highlights that fact!! You want to see some cool stuff?? All you have to do is go to breakfast or sit at the pool… the monkeys will do the rest!! The staff here was great!! From the server’s to the guys that bring you to the beach in the golf cart!! You all made my experience incredible and I thank you for that!! What a great bunch of people!! The hotel is in a very convenient location next to the park and down the street from a gorgeous beach!!! If you’re thinking about staying at this hotel I’ll tell you one thing!! YOU FOUND THE RIGHT PLACE!!!

The location of the hotel is great - right next to the national park and close to Playa Espadilla. Staff was super friendly. As the hotel is on a steep hill, the hotel offered a transport service up and down. Breakfast was good. The hotel also organised a tour guide for us to guide as through the national park as well as a Catamaran tour. And also monkeys came visit at the pool, which was really cute. All in all a great experience.

Loved that we had a nice view and it was walking distance to the park and beach. I think the container design is so interesting. The breakfast was delicious. The steps gave a good workout and the golf cart rides were much appreciated.

Perfect location and views!

First of all the location and the views of this was awesome! Out of the hotel and you’re in the national park. The views from your balcony of the ocean sunset or just a spectacular as any sunset restaurant you would go to. The service was great the animals on the property like monkeys on our balcony survived and others were able to see even before going to the park. The pool was refreshing and the breakfast was adequate choices. The only downside is that since these are containers, they noise travels and the walls are paper thin! There is a steep hill to climb, but they also have golf courts to take you up. They are quick to respond to you on WhatsApp. It’s a good solud three + star hotel

Nice, clean rooms. Friendly staff. Always ready to arrange a ride in golf cart up to the steep hill, where the rooms were located. People with healthy legs could also use the stairs:)

This is a comfortable accommodation. The staff is so friendly, the food at the restaurant is delicious and at a great price, and the entrance to Manuel Antonio park is just about a block away. We had monkeys and geckos visiting our balcony. The geckos and rain was louder than I expected but easily ignored with ear plugs. This is not a luxury hotel but it is safe and relatively comfortable. Love the view, it was beautiful!

When I went to shower, there was no shower/shampoo soap. I contacted the front desk through Whats App, They responded right away and sent someone to bring soap very quickly. We were late for our excursion pick up time and the front desk let us know they were waiting through Whats App. We thought the time was 20 minutes later, so we appreciated the notice so they would wait for us. Great service from the front desk. They even helped us with restaurant suggestions for dinner. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you.
