Hôtels avec bars à Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Beautiful location and for the most part the service was great. First the pluses ....beach is super and the staff down by the beach was friendly and welcoming and they do a great job of creating safety (lots of lifeguard drills it appeared!) and overall the sense of a lovely vacation feel. There are golf carts to take you everywhere on the property, which is pretty necessary as the property is steep and quite spread out. You just give a call and someone shows up in minutes. Many of the drivers have a great personality, just made it surprising when a few of them seemed not friendly--and for us there was no need to speak English--I was always happy to try my Spanish! Ditto for the staff in the main restaurant--some were friendly and welcoming and a few others were all business and not very welcoming or patient. On with the plus items...the beds are very comfortable, rooms are private and quiet, and the policy of free mini bar snacks (with free restocking) is wonderful! The monkeys and iguanas --and sloths--on the property are terrific. There is a dinner in the beach restaurant on Wednesdays, Sats and Suns and since we were only there for the Wed dinner, I wish that the staff at breakfast had reminded us of it and also, there could be a small guide in the room that would include the beach dinner evening schedule as well as a map of the nature trail --with distances. We wanted to walk it ourselves, without their guide, but didn't have a good sense of the overall length of the trail. There was a little sense that they wanted to encourage us to sign up for their guided (for a fee) walk. The food in the main restaurant was good, but not exceptional and the dinners are quite expensive. The breakfast has many choices and again, it's good but not exceptional--but nice that it's included in the room price. Overall, however, it's a lovely place, clearly the nicest place to stay in Manuel Antonio, but also quite pricey, which you know if you're reading this! Trip.com had the best price by far, at least for November.

Valle Escondido has a great view over the valley and good nature trains where you can spot animals and birds in their environment. The staff are very welcoming and helpful with nothing being too much bother. The restaurant serves home town produce however the menu dos not vary between lunch and dinner so staying there for a few days and eating at this restaurant can become repetitive/limited choices. Whilst nature takes and eco ethos takes front stage there are a few little things that could be improved to ale their offering better: - more comfortable seating areas - this would help guests relax and be bake to sit comfortably during days when it’s raining. There’s little spaces for this at present. - vary the menu between lunch and dinner - possibly add a swimming pool / jacuzzi to increase relaxation or enhance luxury - rooms above the gues shop and by the Landry could do with some modernising. Overall, this is a great hotel to stay at and the above enhancements could make it excellent. The location is quiet (nature is the only thing making noises!) and it’s easy to get a taxi ordered into town costing some USD 6. If asking the reception to organise the cloud forest tour please note this does not include pick up from hotel and a taxi there will likely cost USD 20). Hotel staff were amazing. Thank you for a great stay and memorable views.

Hotel muy bien situado justo a la entrada del parque Manuel Antonio (escasos 100m). Puedes disfrutar de las instalaciones del hotel el faro, lo que hace que la experiencia sea aún mejor. Los empleados del hotel son muy atentos y amables

The front of the hotel can be misleading, as the hotel is actually quite nice. The rooms are pretty good. The pool area is large and well designed, and have a bar right there. A lot of the rooms have view to the pool. The tennis/basketball/indoor soccer field is great, with roof. They have pool tables, table tennis and foosball. The restaurant is 24/7, which comes in very handy, and also adds the advantageof not being tied to a specific schedule for the free breakfast that's included. Parking can be a little confusing at first, but it's actually close to the rooms (I would improve it by addign signs on the road indicating how to get to the parking lot).

Les autres installations de la chambre sont complètes, le paysage n'est pas étrange. Pour regarder le soleil dans la chambre, les amis peuvent fermer les yeux, c'est que l'eau de bain est un peu épais. Pour se détendre et se détendre sans attendre que l'eau de bain soit mise en place, il commence à se désintégrer.

Donc je dois dire que cet hôtel m'a très bien fait. Je ne voulais plus quitter l'hôtel Mountain Top Park et j'ai vraiment eu du mal le dernier jour. Premièrement, j'ai eu une chambre avec vue sur la montagne (je crois que avec vue sur la mer coûte encore une fois plus cher, mais cela n'est pas nécessaire, parce que la vue sur les montagnes est vraiment magnifique. ) Il était inexpliquément beau de se réveiller chaque matin avec une vue similaire. J'ai vu aussi beaucoup d'oiseaux comme les Tukanes, les Adlers ou les papagues d'Ara voler sur les couronnes d'arbres pendant mon séjour. Comme vous l'avez déjà lu, il y a incroyablement beaucoup d'animaux vivants en liberté dans le grand hôtel (l'hôtel est presque dans une pièce de forêt tropicale). J'ai vu parfois plus d'animaux ici que dans le parc national Manuel Antonio comme les fléaux ou les singes (le dernier jour, nous avons même découvert un fléau avec un bétail). En tout cas, fait le tour de matin gratuit avec un guide. Il est vraiment merveilleux de marcher sur les ponts de crochet et de regarder les animaux. Le personnel est super. Les chambres sont propres et modernes (qui sont seulement un peu lumineuses, mais pas un problème avec les boucles d'oreilles). Donc, en général, c'était une séjour inoubliable et je ne regrette pas de cent :) PS: Laissez-vous aller avec le golfcart de la réception à l'hôtel, il est trop difficile de courir.

The hotel is perfectly located directly at the beach. We enjoyed very much the air conditioning in the room, as outside was very, very hot and humid. The receptionists were very helpful - the young man let us use his personal charger and the woman let us check in a bit earlier than the regular time. Breakfast staff was very friendly, too. The rooms were quite big and very clean, but the bed was not comfortable. I would recommend the hotel further. Thank you!

Stayed at this beautiful hotel for two nights. Very clean and comfortable and excellent friendly staff. Beautiful swimming pools and tennis courts, also pool tables. For those into fitness there is a Gym on the property with all sorts of equipment for exercising. Ipad size safe in the room. WIFI, breakfast, and onsite parking included. Would definately return someday....hopefully for a longer stay.

The place was awesome on top of a hill with a great view of the Nicoya gulf overlooking Tortuga Island. Going up to the place is a bit rough but I managed to go up and down a few times with a sub compact SUV. I guess it will be very tough when it rains and you'll definitely need a 4x4. Jose, Dennis and the rest of the crew are very nice, polite and helpful.

Un séjour magnifique avec une vue splendide sur l'océan pacifique Une ballade en cheval au sein de l'hotel que je conseille vivement : très agréable même pour des amateurs en équitation comme nous Petit déjeuner varié en buffet
