Recommended, amazing staff. Great value 😁

Staff were very helpful and friendly. Great value for money and right next to Manuel Antonio park entrance. Close to the beach also. Room was clean and tidy. Facilities could use a few touch ups and the bed was a bit on the 'too firm' side for me but overall would recommend.

The service was excellent—staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure we felt welcome throughout our stay. The food was another highlight. The location couldn’t be more convenient, perfect for getting around and exploring nearby attractions. Daily room service was a great touch, keeping the space tidy and comfortable. However, the room lacked basic toiletries such as soap, bar shampoo, and lotion. Also, while the room was very clean, they are dated. A renovation in the rooms would really elevate the overall experience and match the quality of the service.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was great, very helpful and friendly. The room was clean and was accurately depicted in the online photos. Resturant had good food and the wait staff was awesome. Location very well situated to many different ideal destinations and the wildlife we saw just from our room and the restaurant was amazing. We would definitely return to the property if visiting the area again. I would say the only negative was a person name Justin that sat outside the gate and was constantly trying to pressure you to visit the coffee shop and souvenir store just outside the property. He apparently works for the hotel but was not a good reflection of the hotel. He was constantly trying to get you to buy things, was a little inappropriate with some things he was saying. He gave that used car salesman/hustler type impression that was over the top, frustrating and disappointing all at once.

Great value for family of four! We had two rooms for two adults and two teens. Location was great - two minute walk to Manuel Antonio park, convenience store, souvenir shops. Hotel restaurant - the breakfast that was included was fantastic. We ended up eating dinner there one night and it was good too. Staff - quick responses via WhatsApp. Very helpful. Beach - seven minute walk. Beautiful views ocean view from our rooms and from the restaurant. We saw two different types of monkeys from our room and from the restaurant. Rooms - not the nicest, could use some updates, but the they were clean, cool, and the beds were comfortable.

We loved our stay here!! We had a wonderful view of the ocean from our room as well as the pool! The bar staff was phenomenal and very friendly. Having a pool was fantastic after walking around the hot city and park. The location is perfect, right next to the entrance of the park. It’s very easy to get a ride if you’re looking to go elsewhere for dinner or shopping. The room was just what we needed for our stay , with a little kitchen and counter space in the bathroom. We would absolutely stay here again!

The location of this hotel is perfect—right by the entrance of Manuel Antonio National Park with some of the best ocean views you can find. The reception staff was friendly and welcoming, which made check-in pleasant. Unfortunately, other aspects of the stay did not meet expectations. The restaurant staff was not friendly, which made dining uncomfortable. Housekeeping was also very poor: the sheets were never changed once during the entire stay, and the the toilet was never cleaned. Shampoo never filled. The last night of our stay the air conditioner stopped working. We did not bother to tell them. Overall, this hotel has a lot of potential because of its prime location and stunning views, but the service and cleanliness need serious improvement.

The El Faro Containers Beach hotel isn’t on the beach (5 min walk) but is built into a steep hill -- so steep, they offer free golf cart rides up and down to access. The pools are nice and they provide beach towels. The hotel is built from old shipping containers, so the rooms are long and narrow. But they are nice and quite comfortable. The elevators are small and slow. Each room has an ocean view from its balcony. On check-in, they warn you to close your room door tight because the monkeys have figured out how to work the doorknob and get in to trash your belongings. I saw a monkey on the roof right outside my hotel window on the day I checked out. Quepos is a short drive away, and there are lots of restaurants, services, and things to do in the Manuel Antonio resort area.
