Very convenient to the National Park. Golf cart service to take you from the parking lot up to the rooms. Very helpful and friendly staff. Nice pools! Enjoyed our stay. The upper level / larger rooms are worth the upgrade. A bit noisy since the building frames are metal (shipping containers).

Loved that we had a nice view and it was walking distance to the park and beach. I think the container design is so interesting. The breakfast was delicious. The steps gave a good workout and the golf cart rides were much appreciated.

The location of the hotel is great - right next to the national park and close to Playa Espadilla. Staff was super friendly. As the hotel is on a steep hill, the hotel offered a transport service up and down. Breakfast was good. The hotel also organised a tour guide for us to guide as through the national park as well as a Catamaran tour. And also monkeys came visit at the pool, which was really cute. All in all a great experience.

This is a comfortable accommodation. The staff is so friendly, the food at the restaurant is delicious and at a great price, and the entrance to Manuel Antonio park is just about a block away. We had monkeys and geckos visiting our balcony. The geckos and rain was louder than I expected but easily ignored with ear plugs. This is not a luxury hotel but it is safe and relatively comfortable. Love the view, it was beautiful!

I loved everything about this place!! Manuel Antonio is a magically place and the El Faro highlights that fact!! You want to see some cool stuff?? All you have to do is go to breakfast or sit at the pool… the monkeys will do the rest!! The staff here was great!! From the server’s to the guys that bring you to the beach in the golf cart!! You all made my experience incredible and I thank you for that!! What a great bunch of people!! The hotel is in a very convenient location next to the park and down the street from a gorgeous beach!!! If you’re thinking about staying at this hotel I’ll tell you one thing!! YOU FOUND THE RIGHT PLACE!!!
