"Staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel also has a restaurant and an awesome gift shop. The room was clean and the entire hotel had a very cool vibe. The decorations were very different and exotic. Really cool place."

"Great location, right on top of the hill between Quepos & Manuel Antonio, taxi $3 to either location. exceptionally clean, helpful staff. The highlight was the troupe of monkey's that came down from the forest around 5pm every night, crossed the road via the hydro wires and then spend 30 minutes or so playing on the roof's, tree of the hotel - what a treat. Nice restaurant reasonably priced and good food. Breakfast was also available - again at a good price with an extensive menu. Blanca, the lady who cleaned our room was wonderful, very helpful and friendly"
