This place is breath-taking (with three different types of monkeys playing around, beautiful birds flying over you all of the time and sloths going about their business in their charmingly slow way). The villa we stayed in was to die for! It was perched high up in the mountains with ocean views and windows everywhere which gave us a unique perspective on the flora and fauna all around us. The service was impeccable!! There is no other way to describe it. We spent 4 nights there and since we ate every meal on site, we feel we have insight on the hotel's service. Thus, we cannot just write a generic comment, we have to mention by name the staff that made our stay the amazingly wonderful and relaxing experience it was. We loved the way that Chris, Jorge, Tiara and Diego took care of us every single day. It took them just 1-2 meals to know how we liked things and what we wanted and we just loved being taken care of in the professionally discrete yet friendly manner in which they all work. We particularly appreciated that Jorge was raised in Manuel Antonio and knew the area's flora and fauna like it was his backyard. All of our questions about it were answered since he is so knowledgeable. We ended up learning tons about the rainforest-like place in which the hotel is located on (a great bonus!). We will never forget this hotel, its great staff, its fabulous pools, and all of the great meals we had at their restaurant The Arbol!!
