El Faro is as pictured, very convenient located next to Manuel Antonio park, literally you can walk to the park, the staff is very nice and polite, Juan Carlos from the restaurant was very attentive and helpful on any type of question we had , he went above and beyond to make sure our stay was pleasant, the food in the restaurant is really good , we booked the studio on the terrace and it had everything that a couple need it (a/c , wifi , mini fridge, coffee maker , bathroom, elevators) the hotel has two pools and a beautiful view to Manuel Antonio beach, so I think is a great value for the money, I sure recommend it

The staff was amazing the restaurant awesome food. It’s just not everything it describes to be and what I didn’t like about. It is the beds. The beds are hard as a rock. They are outdated. The facility is 10 years old and I would assume the bed are the same.

Bonito lugar para estadías cortas, un lugar apto para niños, pero no para personas que les moleste la buya cuando hay varios parlantes con diferente música o niños jugando. Muy conveniente por la cercanía a la entrada principal al parque Manual Antonio. El restaurante tiene muy buena vista y la comida es muy buena y a precio razonable

Hotel restaurant was right above my room. The rooms are made from shipping containers which sounds cool at first until you have noisy neighbors & lots of foot traffic above your room. Sound is definitely an issue, at least in my room. The view from my room was incredible which sort of made up for the noise somewhat and the staff is very friendly & helpful. Rooms are clean and each room has a patio overlooking the ocean & Manuel Antionio Ntl Park.

Our trip was amazing. We had a smaller room at the top with ocean views. There was a huge patio shared with 3 other rooms but we mostly had if all to ourselves, because the other rooms were vacant. There was a nice pool downstairs. It was a relaxing ambiance. We saw a lot of monkeys, birds and wildlife. We walked to Manuel Antonio National Park from the hotel as well as the beach. It's also not far to drive to a park called Rainmaker Park & hike to see many waterfalls and wildlife. Highly recommended. Costa Rica is a beautiful place and we loved staying at El Faro Beach Hotel. It was clean and comfortable, had good showers, excellent breakfast choices, & a convenient location.

The view was gorgeous and even better than expected. The pool was really lovely and taken care of. Out room was cozy with a great bathroom. We loved the staff. Joseth assisted us with our bags and helped us around as well. We really enjoyed his help and his kindness added to our stay. Even though it is at the top of the hill everything thing feels very close and easy to get to. I would definitely stay again.

Staff was friendly and professional. Hotel was located at steep hill, so hard to get there specially in a hot, humid weather. They take you up there with a golf cart, when they are available. Rooms were noisy, so small, claustrophobic. Location was good, strategic to go to the Manuel Antonio National Park (6 minutes walk).
