Manuel Antonio Beach is a 5-minute drive away, and Quepos Village is 10 minutes by car. Juan Santamaria International Airport is 2 hours' drive from the property. Free on-site parking is available.
“The panoramic vistas here are truly something special, especially from the infinity pool area, and it's clear the staff takes genuine pride in making guests feel cared for, with individuals like Yerald and Alan going the extra mile. While the rain on the roof can be quite noticeable during storms, the proximity to restaurants and the convenience of the shuttle service are definite advantages for exploring the area.”
