Room and bathroom were very spacious, staff were very accommodating, and 5-7 min walk to beach so fabulous location. Only reason why score is lower is party was going on one of nights and feel they could’ve let us know that music was going to be blaring no matter where you were in the hotel! Also, service outside of breakfast is very slow and forgot to put our lunch order thru so waited over an hour - although they did comp it which was decent of them.

The place was a bit run down and really noisy especially early in the morning and even during breakfast , a LOT of construction going on.

The air conditioning unit in our room stopped working staff were quick to move us to another room, my only complaint is there were no chairs in the room to sit in and sitting on the bed was uncomfortable

Shower head was coming out of the wall. Nothing exciting but decent basic accommodations.

Friendly staff

We had a wonderful stay at El Faro. The location was perfect for our family. The beach and Manuel Antonio National Park are very close. The view from our balcony was amazing. We knew about climbing the hill beforehand and really didn’t think it was that bad (our ages were 58, 49, 48, 46, 15, 14, 12, and 11). The hotel staff helped bring up and down our luggage, so that wasn’t an issue, and a golf cart ride was easily available, whenever needed. We also really enjoyed our breakfasts each morning, and the hotel staff were very accommodating with booking tours and answering any questions we had during our stay. Beware of the capuchin monkeys. There is a reason they are called La Mafia. They are cool to watch… from a distance. I’d definitely stay here again.

Staff was very helfful,friendly and down to earth.It's a huge property with decent size room and on site restaurant.Very close to National park.

When we arrived in the pouring rain, we could not check in because the front desk clerk was away despite open hours.

We have stayed here a few times with our dog and it is a convenient halfway point between Hermosa and Pavones. Very secure and safe, great restaurant onsite, and big, clean rooms with everything you need for a short or extended stay.

It was worth the cost.

Amazing big and clean room with a balcony. Did not expect it would be that huge and nice.

Friendly staff, easy access, clean. Well worth the money

Excelente ubicación.

Loved this place so much we booked to stay longer. Fantastic location just 5 mins walk from the national park beach which is stunning. The grounds of the hotel are lovely with two pools to cool down in after a hot day in the beach. Staff are exceptionally helpful snd kind. There is a restaurant attached to the hotel and a Mexican restaurant just along the road. We had the superior double room with a large kitchen and terrace so nice that we went to Maxi Palí supermarket at the end of the road and bought food to cook in the lovely kitchen. Now sitting in a hotel further up the coast and wishing we hadn’t left paradise

There was good parking

Great place, nice pools and breakfast was wonderful. Started early enough for us to eat before heading out on our adventures. We will be back.

Great location. People were nice!

Le service pour l’hôtel est ok. Très peu de contact avec eux et on nous évitait quasiment. Aucune étoile à donner pour un wow pour le service à la clientèle sur place. Le service au restaurant pour les déjeuners était plus convivial et rapide. La dame était souriante et très sympathique. La chambre qui était avec une cuisine avait deux portes barrées au fond d’un corridor pour probablement des gens qui habitent l’hôtel. Je ne me sentais pas totalement en chambre privée à cause de cela. De plus on les entendait suffisamment pour comprendre ce qu’ils disaient et des enfants criaient. Un autre point un peu négatif était la qualité du lit et matelas qui était médiocre alors que tout le reste de la chambre était vraiment très beau et fonctionnel. C’était comme s’ils avaient mis de la qualité partout sauf dans le lit et les oreillers ultra minces un peu comme sur utilisées. Nous étions deux et avions qu’une minie oreiller chaque. Les bons points étaient le stationnement à même l’hôtel et fermé par des barrières la nuit, deux belles piscines propres et l’aire climatisée permettant une belle fraîcheur dans la chambre.

Quality rooms and the restaurant has good food. Outside of the main town, walkable to beach.

2nd night good place to stay.
