Hotel Manuel Antonio Park

They have air conditioning and private rooms for very inexpensive prices. The employees are also very kind and from the patios you can see animals. It’s not the best hostel I’ve stayed in, but you get what you pay for and I appreciate that.

(English below) Si vous voulez une chambre et seulement une chambre, nous donnons alors un 3 étoiles car certaines chambres ont été rénovés, mais si vous rechercher un établissement avec du service ou de la flexibilité vous cognez au mauvais endroit! Malheureusement pour cet hôtel le personnel est clairement malheureux et peut-être mal traité par la gestion de par nos observations, mais clairement je n’avais jamais vécu une expérience comme ceci. A notre arrivée personne pour nous accueillir, nous cherchons et finalement on trouve. Le lendemain nous demandons des serviettes pour la piscine mais on nous refuse, bon ok? Un autre soir nous demandons s’il est possible de nous donner quelques fruits car notre excursion du lendemain est avant l’ouverture du resto (nous avons le petit déjeuner inclus), encore une fois impossible d’avoir même un pain! Pour combler le tout la journée de notre départ un transport vient nous chercher et la réception refuse d’aider le chauffeur. If you only need a room, we’ll give 3 stars because some have been renovated, but if you want a nice experience and friendly staff - stay away! We’ ve never seen this type of attitude. Staff very unfriendly, maybe even be poorly treated by management form what we observed. Refused to give us pool towels, refused to provide fruits or bread on the evening before an excursion (we had breakfast included), but had to leave before the opening of the restaurant. On the day of our departure, we had a transport picking us up but the staff refused to help the chauffeur when asking for us??

Older hotel and a bit tired, but only 200m from the Park entrance and 400m from the beach. Friendly and efficient Reception (Juan Carlos) who arranged our excellent park guide (Henry) and our tours, US$70 for a clean Standard room with good bed, small attached bathroom, A/C with good TV and internet, adequate breakfast. DId I mention it was only 200 metres from the park entrance?

Stayed here 2 nights as part of a guided group with Exodus. Initial impressions not good, exterior grounds are scruffy. Hotel management not very friendly, we were told we couldn’t use the chilled water at breakfast to fill our drinking bottles. My room was in a refurbished block and surprisingly good but the other single traveller in our group was allocated a dreadful room and when she complained was offered a worse one. Has a nice pool though and breakfast was good. Best thing is that it’s only 5 mins walk from the national park.
