Great location near restaurants and Manuel Antonio. The view from the buffet/restaurant is incredible.
Breakfast buffet was standard - some local fruits, omelet station, toast and jam, beans and rice and eggs, fresh juices, granola, yogurt, whole apples, a cake pastry, coffee and tea.
We had a room in the main building, and it was awful. The bed is hard as a rock. The air conditioner leaks substantially so the floor would puddle with water. They changed out the towels for us several times, but there was nothing else they could do with it. There is mold on the wall beneath the AC and in the shower. The windows are not fully sealed so you hear everything - any traffic outside the window, families eating breakfast on the floor below you, and some bugs get in as well. The rainy day was so loud due to the rain hitting the roof we woke up extremely early. I also asked for a hair dryer to prep for a nice dinner and the first one was melted/didn't work. The second one barely got hot.
The restaurant had decent food, korean bbq is one of my favorites so we were excited to eat the "authentic" meal that everyone recommended. We were underwhelmed overall, honestly, and it was very expensive ($90 for a very small portion of galbi, bulgogi, rice and a couple veggies/kimchi, and a scallion pancake.) However, during Happy Hour the next day, the bartender made us Pina Coladas and they were the best I've ever had. Also loved the Mango Moon special - a spicy marg type thing. 2 for one!
