Highlights

• Possibly the best hotel in Quepos, Costa Rica.
• The pool is actually decent.
• Security for overnight street parking.

Experience

Arriving late at the hotel we couldn’t find the entrance, until the bouncer at the casino attached to the hotel motioned to the security guard who let us in. The reception didn’t have us in the system possibly due to a late internet booking and he eventually checked us in when running out of options.

The area at night was quite sketchy and the casino was more of a karaoke bar.

The next morning we had breakfast which didn’t include much if you go with the breakfast included in the room rate. Eggs and other items will cost extra. We left after our breakfast toast.

Location

This is conveniently located in Quepos just 5 minutes away from Manuel Antonio. The town doesn’t have much to offer in the evening and during the day is a small coastal development.

Room

We stayed in a standard room with two double beds that had a view over the pool area. The room and bathroom were very basic, but clean and functional.

Service

The service at reception was not very impressive with the front desk person not very eager to check us in. We were either interrupting something he was doing on the computer, or he was just tired and didn’t feel like handling our situation.

Security was good, with the guard opening and locking the door when we came by. He also warned us not to keep valuables in the car and helped us check the car.

Activities

The beach is at the doorstep, but the hotel mostly serves guests on their way to Manuel Antonio.

Dining

The primary restaurant for breakfast was a bit disappointing with the food seemingly left out for awhile and not refreshed or changed during the time that we ate there, not to mention the lack of choice.

Summary

If you want to find a convenient place on the way to Manuel Antonio and are just passing through, the 4-star Best Western is a decent option, but if you are spending a few days in the area, there are plenty of other resorts and hotels on the way to Manuel Antonio.
