Manuel Antonio hotel vicini a Finca Naturales Wildlife Refuge

Punti positivi: Splendide vedute. La piscina era incredibile. Tutto il personale era molto disponibile e gentile. C'erano molti ottimi ristoranti nelle vicinanze. La marina era fantastico per il cibo

Punti positivi: Makanda hotel is beautiful. It looks like an art piece in the middle of a beautiful jungle with some amazing wildlife around it. The breakfast is really good, the Eggs Benedict dish was amazingly good! Dinner was also pretty good, although over-priced IMO. Leo from the front desk is SUPER! Funny and pleasant with a really good attitude. Javier and Johnathan, the bell boys, will give you a great service as well. The sound system in the room is very nice!

Punti negativi: Unfortunately, with the beautiful design, comes a lack of practicality, and lots of it... The hotel is built on hilly area with crazy slopes and very slippery roads. So to get in/out of our room, you almost always have to call a golf car. During rain, there is no chance you could do it without it (and it rains every evening). The driver will tell you that you can always use the service, but in fact, it is available only on a certain time period, and after a few times we really felt uncomfortable to order it. Keep in mind that the way to some of the rooms is extremely dark at night and you could easily stumble. The room has a shower, but without a door, so whenever you take a shower, be prepared to make the whole bathroom floor wet. The room has electrical curtains, but they won't close fully due to their length, and there is no way to avoid the sun in the morning because the curtains are translucent. The room service was a bit incompetent. When I called to get two robes, it felt like it was too much to ask because, apparently, only the spa has robes (that had oily smell stick to them). The spa area supposedly has the most beautiful view in the hotel, but you will have access to it and its facilities only if you make a reservation for a rediculous expensive treatment. To use the "natural" sauna, you'll have to make a reservation 5 hours in advance because they have to burn woods for you to use it. The hotel has wifi around the property, but in almost every location the wifi strength was low. The room TV is old and without any smart TV capabilities. Generally, we had a good experience, but we feel that we paid for a luxurious hotel, while getting an average hotel experience.

Punti positivi: Breakfast was amazing, staff was very good in every situation. We felt very relaxed

Punti negativi: Drinks not cheap but expected

Punti positivi: Incredible hotel. Perfect for a honeymoon. Everything about it exceeded my expectations from the rooms to the wildlife to the food to the staff. Could not recommend enough.

Punti positivi: Posizione incantevole con vista sull'oceano, stile lussuoso e moderno, colazione di alta qualità. Luogo molto tranquillo. Piscine stupende e passaggio di fauna quotidiano. Personale disponibile. Ci hanno fatto l'upgrade gratuito senza che lo chiedessimo e ci siamo ritrovati nella stanza più bella che avessimo mai visto in vita nostra (Suite Delux Ocean Club).

Punti positivi: Il panorama e la cucina, realmente molto buona. Personale sorridente e molto gentile, purtroppo inconcludente, lento e disorganizzato.

Punti negativi: Struttura scomodissima, con “rampe” difficilmente affrontabili se non in perfetta forma senza alcun avviso previo (sulla descrizione inserita sul sito); stanze con enormi vetrate SENZA tende (luce piena dalle 5,40 am) e frigorifero “da cucina” rumoroso di notte; spiaggia inesistente (almeno fino alla bassa marea - 12 am circa) e in ombra quasi fino alla stessa ora. Lettini da sole in plastica e lerci da posizionare, no ombrelloni... Caro oltre ogni accettabile livello (uno snack con due - ottimi - sandwich, una birra e acqua minerale 60$) e non parlo di altro. Alcune camere non rinnovate (una delle due prenotate nel mio caso) con problemi anche a farsi una doccia con calma. Quattro gruccie di plastica nell’armadio. Nell’altra camera (quella rinnovata) c’erano le tende ma leggere e non oscuranti a chiudere un’intera parete a vetro, le solite quattro gruccie di plastica e la cassaforte non funzionante. Entrambe le cose segnalate, grandi sorrisi e nulla di risolto in 5 giorni. Tutte cose che pagando 4500$ + quasi altri 1000 di extra (solo alimentari e in due) per 5 giorni non si possono tollerare (da nessuna parte, ma in special modo in un Paese dove lo stipendio mensile medio è di 600$)

Punti positivi: The service and the facility were excellent

Punti positivi: Loved seeing the toucans, monkeys, macaws while we were eating lunch.

Punti negativi: Door was hard to lock, close, etc

Punti positivi: la posizione

Punti negativi: scarsa pulizia, eccessivo costo qualità prezzo, colazioni scarse

Punti positivi: Personale eccellente che era molto disponibile. La posizione è perfetta! Ci tornerei volentieri

Punti positivi: Location was great.

Punti negativi: Friendly staff, really enjoyed my stay

Punti positivi: abbiamo soggiornato in questo hotel 10 giorni colazione ottima e abbondante con un servizio eccellente con il sig. Rodrigo sempre pronto a sodisfare le nostre richieste con gentileza e premura.

Punti negativi: nulla da dire eccellente in tutto il personale si impegna con cuore per rendere il soggiorno dei suoi ospiti facendoli sentite importati , curando la struttura al massimo , sempre presenti ma in un modo discreto .

Punti positivi: Everything was and is awesome. We extended our stay twice up to 10nights. The breakfast (continental) is awesome and it's just a 2minutes walk to the national park and beach. There is also a privat parking avaiable outside the resort. From time to time you can also see animals in and around the resort.

Punti positivi: Great staff helped me get my phone back that I left in a shuttle. Loved the landscaping, good breakfast, quiet room. The staff also helped me get a great tour guide for the national park. Would not have saw anything without him. Beach is just a 5 min walk at most.

Punti positivi: Tutto perfettamente gestito!!! Dallo staff alla pulizia delle camere, la posizione ti permette di lasciare la macchina e girare tutto a piedi!anche il buffet della colazione molto buono

Punti negativi: Se dovessi proprio trovare il pelo nell’uovo permetterei di fumare negli spazi aperti, senza dover uscire tutte le volte dall’albergo, ma mi rendo conto sia una politica diffusa e condivisa qui in Costarica, quindi bene così!

Punti positivi: Posizione e camere

Punti positivi: The rooms are large, the breakfast is very good (even a great granola muesli) and the people are very nice and helpful. You don't need to move your car if you visit the park or the nearby beach.

Punti negativi: Shower

Punti positivi: stanza ampia e comoda(camera superior) posizione super per l ingresso nel parco e per la spiaggia(200 mt)

Punti negativi: Zona non proprio bella di notte,l unico posto dove ho visto guardie private notturne nei locali (e nell albergo)

Punti positivi: Posizione, a tre minuti a piedi sia dal Parque Manuel Antonio che dalla Playa. Colazione discreta. Parcheggio chiuso con catena. Personale intelligente, atte to e lungimirante.

Punti positivi: Close proximity to entrance of National Park Manuel Antonio (2 Minutes walking distance). Very friendly and competent staff. Quiet location.

Punti positivi: The hotel is in a quiet side street. There is a lot of space in the room. Stuff is very friendly.

Punti negativi: There is only Lunch available at the hotel. You cannot get any food or drink in the hotel after 9.30am. As a solo traveling woman this might be a little challenging. I went to the hotel before it got dark outside every evening. Since there is no bar, no common space where people meet/sit, I stayed in the hotel room after 5pm. Which on one hand is not too bed, because I went to sleep at 7pm and got aaalll the rest I didn‘t in the last weeks. But on the other hand I couldn‘t get a tea or water in the evening. However, there are bars and restaurants close by!!

Punti positivi: La piccola attenzione personale è stato ottimo. Tutto molto pulito.

Punti positivi: Vista incredibile! Il cibo era eccellente e vale ogni centesimo speso. Il personale è molto gentile e disponibile, specialmente Alexander! Si è assicurato che fossimo soddisfatti tutto il tempo. I letti erano molto comodi, mio marito voleva portarne uno a casa.

Punti positivi: It is at a great location, very close to the beach! It has a spectacular view from the rooms straight to the ocean. A great place to stay!

Punti negativi: Everything was great.

Punti positivi: Everything was amazing!!! The rooms, the food, the view everything! We stayed for 3 nights I wish we'd stayed longer, not only did we have an amazing room etc but when we we're lying around the pool there were monkeys an array of birds and a sloth! It was just amazing would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Punti positivi: Issimo is a lovely boutique hotel. Guests are greeted with a complimentary cocktail and refreshing cold face towel. The staff is attentive and professional. All the large rooms have a spa tub and great views. The complimentary breakfast with fresh fruit, eggs, cheese coffee is great. We dined both nights in the open air restaurant with ocean views; the food was beautifully presented & delicious. The outdoor pool and deck have ocean views and the spa massage was wonderful. We booked a rafting trip with the concierge and were very pleased. Issimo Suites is owned by a charming Italian family; the menu & attention to detail reflect their desire to pamper guests. I would highly recommend it.

Punti positivi: Everything about this hotel exceeded my expectations. The photos online don't really do it justice, you must be present to get the full experience. We were greeted with drinks and cold towels, walked in to a room with a view of the water and garden area - I felt like I was outside but protected by a window. The shower and inroom spa tub was amazing to use while looking out the window that spanned an entire wall. The food was amazing everyday and the staff, I can't say enough good things about the staff. They were kind, attentive, and helpful. We took a chance and didn't book any activities until we got there, totally out of our norm, however, every single tour (3) the hotel booked for us also exceeded our expectations. If you're in the MA area, stay here!!!!

Punti negativi: Nothing

Punti positivi: View and location

Punti negativi: Most everything, old hotel, ants all over the place, including our bed. Insanely over priced coffee in the room ($33 for four capsules of coffee...) And on. Really, unless you have no other choice...

Punti positivi: Breakfast was amazing! Staff was great. Amazing view!!!! Loved it

Punti positivi: Posizione eccellente, stanze grandi e pulitissime. Molto romantico. Staff meraviglioso , soprattutto Geiner!

Punti positivi: We got an upgrade to the penthouse that included jacuzzi and amazing views. Everything was great.

Punti negativi: Restaurant food was good but quite pricey maybe.

Punti positivi: The view of the ocean

Punti negativi: Terrible room service. Was given wrong room and had to ask to be changed to my proper room (penthouse suite). Laundry service extremely expensive. Same song playing in restaurant for 45 minutes.. twice. Had to actually ask staff to pay attention and change it. Food wasn't special, just food. Couldn't get any ice because they don't have much... it's wasn't enjoyable.

Punti positivi: Everything. Wonderful stay! Professional and friendly staff - a special word of thanks to Geiner for positive customer approach

Punti positivi: The staff is the best. The food is excellent. The view from every room is incredible.

Punti negativi: Nothing!!

Punti positivi: The whole experience was great from the staff to the facilities to the owner whom was very personable just one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! Great boutique style hotel

Punti positivi: Really nice hotel, confortable and clean, surrounded but nature. We had the chance to have monkeys coming on the top of the roof of our bungalow. The staff is really welcoming and the breakfast is really good.

Punti positivi: Breakfast was delicious with lots of options. The guys at reception and bar were very kind. The hotel was great located with parking available. It was very clean and beds really comfortable.

Punti negativi: The rooms close to the road were a bit noisy. Sometimes the pool gets a bit turbid.

Punti positivi: The beautiful view of the garden outside of my window. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Punti negativi: Nothing.

Punti positivi: Very accommodating, I was sick on arrival and they allowed me to check in really early to rest.

Punti negativi: TV didn’t work, but didn’t need it.

Punti positivi: Everything! Breakfast really great and a lot of choices, hygiëne, service, very friendly staff, location near several restaurants. The restaurant in the hotel is also very good. The animals in the garden. Swimmingpool is nice to cool down

Punti negativi: Nothing

Punti positivi: The pool was incredible. We really appreciated that they had a vegetarian menu in their restaurant.

Punti negativi: Everything was great.

Punti positivi: Luis-he was the best. Pretty much all staff was friendly. Breakfast was good. Good location to walk to restaurants but be very careful as there is not a sidewalk everywhere and cars zip around the hilly/windy road.

Punti negativi: We were very concerned when our cab pulled up in front as it looked like a tire shop, not a hotel. Once we got inside it was very nice. The grounds were beautiful

Punti positivi: Hotel grounds were nice. Views were gorgeous.

Punti negativi: Not walk-able to much (i.e., beach, only a couple of restaurants). Staff was least friendly of the 4 places we stayed on our trip. Made me get 2 rooms for family of five, while one room would have easily housed all. Pricey

Punti positivi: This place was an absolute dream. The room was great, the pool was great, the location was great. There is something magical about seeing monkeys, sloths and toucans from your balcony. I would go back in a heartbeat!

Punti negativi: There was absolutely nothing that I didn't like.

Punti positivi: Tutto Stupendo.. Vista mozzafiato e una Piña colada buonissima. Pura Vidaaaa!

Punti positivi: We liked the adults only pool and balcony and the incredible view from it. Wildlife was great, tons of iguanas, etc. Interesting decor with old airplanes, etc. Made it a unique place to spend a couple nights.

Punti negativi: 1. Staff was not very accommodating or friendly. Bell man was not friendly. Desk staff was patronizing, telling us to call back when we actually wanted a taxi because our destination (the national park) was only 5 min away, as opposed to scheduling one for us ahead of time. We called back when we wanted it and had to wait 15 min for a taxi when they said it would be 2 minutes! Should have called it when we wanted it! 2. Organization. The staff had no idea who we were when we arrived. They did not have our booking on file. Good thing they had a room available anyway. No apologies from them whatsoever about it. And who knows if we ended up getting the room we initially reserved. 3. Restaurants. Costa Verde is engineered to lock you into spending as much money with their complex of restaurants as they can. They offer free shuttles to their restaurants and give you menus, etc. and recommend their own places. They're all owned by the same people and all next to each other up and down the main road. Even this wouldn't have been so bad if the food had been decent, but it was nothing special. We had better (really good) food at the Terrazes down the street. 4. They refused our late check-out because it was "Friday and we have lots of people coming in." The hotel had like nobody there. 5. Cleaning. They didn't clean the balcony of our room. 6. Decor. The place is designed like a college kid picked all the light fixtures, including hanging grey goose bottles as lamps behind your head where you want to put a pillow. Felt like we were in a college dorm room at times.

Punti negativi: This is NOT A good location for travelers without a car. The hotel complex is very large and built on a hill. It is a 10-minute walk to any pool and longer from some locations to the pool they advertise as their premier pool with a view. (there is no jacuzzi or hot tub) . Only one restaurant is on-site and it is open for breakfast (not included in price) from 6:30-11:00 each day. the hotel owns other (expensive) restaurants nearby and they do provide transportation. The premier pool does not have a bar or option for een a glass of water. Although the website claims they provide for fee shuttles to/from the airport and around the area, THEY DO NOT! There are many beautiful units overlooking the ocean, many are on a side busy road, ask before you book. Our unit was older (although pleasant enough), but lacked some basics, coffee for the coffee pot, hand towels, kleenex tissues, and pool towels are NOT provided. Lastly, after 10 days in Costa Rica being warmly greeted at each stop, it was a total shock to be greeted like we were an inconvenience. When we asked for suggestions for local sites, they pointed to a table with binders, no encouragement or effort to even be pleasant. There were usually 2-3 men huddled in a back corner on their computers or cell phones and yes, they would respond when requested, but a total lack of the typical Costa Rican hospitality. The potential is there, but we suggest hospitality re-boot because the area is beautiful....

Punti positivi: Hotel in the forest with a lot of animals...beautiful pools....quite rooms....

Punti positivi: Staff is super slow. Not helpful at all. Gave several excuses for several issues.

Punti negativi: Staff

Punti positivi: Camera immersa nel verde con scimmie e tucani liberi intorno

Punti negativi: Rumorosa ed un po' scadente

Punti positivi: The view

Punti negativi: The breakfast was not included even if we paid a high price for the night

Punti positivi: Posizione, vista dalla camera, disponibilità e gentilezza di tutto lo staff

Punti negativi: La colazione alla carta, meglio buffet. E i ristoranti dell'albergo hanno un menù non all'altezza.
