Hotels mit Bar in 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).

Otherwise amazing hotel plagued by rude staff and tour buses. First, this a hotel is used by Americans in bus tours - expect hundreds of them any given time. Second, the staff is incredibly rude. We had an issue with our keys and the reception employee, Ana Belen, refused to help us or even try to understand the issue. TV turned up by itself in the middle of the night. The toilet flush situation is terrible, there is simply no pressure. The good thing, hotel is nearby the Cloud Reserve, breakfast is good and pool looks good.

Also ich muss schon sagen: dieses Hotel hat es mir sehr angetan. Ich wollte das Mountain Top Park Hotel gar nicht mehr verlassen und es ist mir am letzten Tag tatsächlich schwer gefallen. Zuerst mal zum Zimmer: ich hatte ein Zimmer mit Aussicht zum Berg (ich glaube mit Aussicht zum Meer kostet nochmal extra, das braucht man aber gar nicht, weil der Ausblick zu den Bergen wirklich wunderschön ist.) Es war unbeschreiblich schön, jeden Morgen mit so einem Anblick aufzuwachen. Ich habe während meinem Aufenthalt auch viele Vögel wie Tukane, Adler oder Ara-Papageien über die Baumkronen fliegen sehen. Wie ihr bestimmt schon gelesen habt, gibt es unglaublich viele frei lebende Tiere auf dem grossen Hotelgelände (das Hotel liegt ja quasi in einem Stück Regenwald). Ich habe z.T. mehr Tiere hier gesehen als im Manuel Antonio Nationalpark wie Faultiere oder Affen (am letzten Tag haben wir sogar ein Faultier mit Nachwuchs entdeckt). Macht auf jeden Fall die kostenlose Morgen-Tour mit Guide. Es ist wirklich toll über die Hängebrücken zu laufen und nach Tieren Ausschau zu halten. Das Personal ist SUPER. Die Zimmer sind sauber und modern (die sind nur etwas hellhörig, was aber mit Ohrstöpsel kein Problem ist). Also alles im allem war das ein unvergesslicher Aufenthalt und ich bereue keinen Cent :) PS: Lasst euch auf jeden Fall mit dem Golfcart von der Rezeption zum Hotel fahren, es ist zu anstrengend hoch zu laufen.

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.

Der Ort war wunderschön auf einem Hügel mit einem großen Blick auf den Golf von Nicoya überblicken Tortuga Island. Zum Ort gehen ist ein wenig grob, aber ich konnte ein paar Mal mit einem subcompact SUV nach oben und nach unten gehen. Ich denke, es wird sehr hart sein, wenn es regnet und Sie werden sicherlich einen 4x4. Jose, Dennis und die anderen Besatzungen sind sehr nett, freundlich und hilfreich.

Unser Aufenthalt im Resort war wunderbar. Der Eigentümer war persönlich beteiligt und traf die Kunden. Essen war ausgezeichnet und das Personal war sehr hilfreich. Die Einrichtungen waren fair, Zimmer und Badezimmer brauchen Upgrades. Zimmerservice war schwer zu bestellen. Die Straßen müssen befestigt werden, die Hauptstraße in den Resort würde die Fahrt in die Anlage erleichtern.
