This is a great hotel that is small enough to feel intimate but has most of the amenities of a large resort. Of course, the initial highlight is that the hotel is built into the forest and treats the land as a preserve. On top of that, many of the rooms have gorgeous views, and ours had a view of the ocean over the hills. The staff is amazing. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. Even though they have some routines that make things easy to follow and access, the staff is more than willing to help or adjust if you need it. We drove in, and once there they reserved a parking spot for us near the cart / shuttle service for the entire stay! From the entrance / parking, a shuttle takes you to the main building (rain or shine…we never had to wait in the rain and it was pouring when we arrived). The facilities were outstanding and well-appointed. Don’t get me wrong, there are some features that are aged, but most things are very nice and everything is always super-clean. The pools are really nice. Small, but several levels allow for multiple infinity pool experiences, along with floating chairs if you prefer to hold your drink while floating. There is a “swim up” bar that I think is usually open from 12-5 but don’t quote me on that. The food was pretty good. IMO, stick with traditional dishes. Ceviche and traditional Costa Rican breakfast were our favorites, but everything we tried was pretty good. The drink menu is a little light. They offer enough choices, but there are not any high end liquors, and the wine is good but I do not believe I also any vintages that you might expect from a hotel of this caliber. Finally, the rooms were very very nice. Our son had his own “standard” room and it looked as nice as ours did, even though he did not have as much space. Our room was a suite with a bedroom, full bath with walk in shower, a private patio, and a living space complete with leather sofa (and pull out bed), dining table with chairs, and club style chairs to complete the seating area. All very comfortable. Our room also came with access to a private terrace on the top floor. This space also included seating and tables, umbrella, and curtained Chaises. Great views from there and the private patio! In short, we did not have enough time to enjoy all of the amenities even within our own room, but we were beyond comfortable and the views and vibe were amazing. One more thing: the owner has started a macaw restoration project, so you can see Scarlett macaws on the premise. We also saw many other bird species (this is an eBird hotspot for those who use it), heard monkeys, and enjoyed seeing sloths and iguanas on the premise (but not in or near the room 😊).

We had an incredible experience at The Falls Resort. The staff, the view, the pool, the restaurant, and the room were all excellent. We will definitely stay here again next visit. We had monkeys, butterflies, hummingbirds, and iguanas visit us. The breakfast was great too! Way better than we ever expected.

Our worst hotel experience ever. We’ve been robbed in our hotel room, the hotel suspected it was an inside job and did nothing to help us. We have made several attempts to r We stayed at the Selina Manuel Antonio for 4 nights in July and were robbed in our own room. Before leaving the room in the morning, we had closed the window and the door. I received a notification on my banking app showing suspicious activity on one of my cards I had left in the room. We rushed back to the hotel only to find our room had been plundered. Everything of value had been stolen: both computers containing all our work, jewelry, clothes, shoes, handbags, backpacks, perfumes, identity cards. We immediately went to the reception where we tried to explain our situation to the receptionist. Absolutely no reaction, we had to wait, completely panicked for the manager to come, which took what seemed an eternity. The manager, which could not care less, finally appeared and came to the room to witness the ransack. We went straight to the police station to make a deposition. On our way to the police station, we did our best to explain how we found out about the robbery in our broken Spanish, because the manager wasn’t speaking English. At some point at the police station, we understood a glimpse of the conversation which was taking place between the manager and another hotel representative. They were saying in Spanish, that our room was in a blindspot for cameras and that a robbery had previously occurred there some years ago. Fortunately we understood a couple of words and confronted them immediately about that, and they had to confess to what they knew and were apparently trying to hide. The hotel's responsibility in this matter is engaged as (i) the theft occurred inside of the hotel, (ii) our room was in a blindspot for the cameras and the hotel knew about it, (iii) there was already a robbery in the same area of 3 rooms, and (iv) the thieves could open the door without forcing it simply by passing their hands through the poorly secured window (which was closed when we left the room). The hotel is liable and therefore should reimburse the amounts of the stolen items. When we came back from the police station, the manager promised to repair us for the whole amount that was stolen, and to show us the camera feed. Both of these promises were betrayed. The police caught some of the burglars and we managed to get some of our items back (including computers). But the jewelry went missing, and now the hotel acts like nothing ever happened. After more than a month, our requests remain completely unanswered. They are now trying to mislead us with legal jargon and their own insurer’s policy. PS: The room was awful and morbidly humid. No sunlight has ever penetrated trough that broken window.

Warm and thoughtful service

What a beautiful and nostalgic hotel…our room had our own lap pool complete with cushioned lounge chairs…happy hour was a 2 for 1 deal and the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating and friendly…we swam and lounged out at the main pool…so relaxing! A free breakfast was included with our room (other breakfast items available at additional cost)..just enough to get our morning started before we headed out for the day! Pre COVID I’m sure the outside pool bar would be open which is always a plus when hanging out at the pool! Definitely on our list when we return to Costa Rica next year!

We stayed at this hotel for a couple of nights while visiting Manuel Antonio National Park. It is a very lovely little hotel situated on a hill and attached to a restaurant that provides free breakfast for its guests (check to make sure your room has it included, I believe some rooms did not). Things we liked - the rooms were very clean, well arranged, there was a small safe (you have to get a key from the desk), A/C (very needed - it is quite hot and humid in the area), a fairly large pool with a bar and lounge chairs (free), and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Also bonus - they have a cat! (or possibly a couple of them). Breakfast was nice, a few choices and some add-ons like bacon, ham etc. that you have to pay extra for but I thought they had enough options - typical breakfast, ham and cheese sandwich and yogurt and granola as well as coffee/tea and orange juice. Wait staff were great too. The entire building is very beautiful, there is a lush green garden all around, hammocks by the rooms outside and the furnishings were nice too. Things that could be better - NOT entirely an accessible hotel, I cannot stress this enough! They do have golf carts and will drive you up to your rooms (the rooms are up a hill as well) and I believe if you have a wheelchair, you might be able to go up the ramp to the rooms as well but don't quote me on that. The golf carts are not available 24/7 so if you cannot walk down the stairs or down the hill on the path, you might end up stuck in your room or down by the reception. The restaurant is down some stairs as well. Big tip - inspect your room when you get in! We noticed our room had some existing damage to the night stand and bed headboard and immediately reported to the manager to ensure we were not charged for existing damage (they were aware of it and sent someone up just to check but did not give us any trouble!) - take pictures when you get in and let management know if you notice anything. Overall, would recommend this hotel. Very nice, ample parking and easy to find. Walking distance to a few nice restaurants and short distance from the beaches and Manuel Antonio National Park as well as the neighbouring town of Quepos if you need groceries (note, no fridges in the rooms!).

The hotel is located at an amazing location with a view over the forest and Pacific Ocean. Room was clean and nice and the breakfast was amazing!
