The rooms are made of reused containers which was very interesting. We had a great view of the ocean from our room. Staff was very helpful and accommodating.

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).

It was interesting to stay in a container, property is very close to park and beach. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Loved it here , the dining and front staff were absolutely fantastic..whenever we need a ride up or down they were right there..The rooms were basic but clean and the visits from the monkeys every morning was really nice..We tooka lotsa videos ...Actually say way more wildlife there than in Manuel Antonio park ..Very walkable area with lots of restaurants nearby..We would defintely stay there again ..I would say the restaurant staff would serve us coffee as we were up at 5 am every morning ..before the breakfast service ..These guys were exceptional..

Loved our stay here, lived the area, pools & 5 min walk to the beach

visit from about 15 monkeys was our highliite of this stay!!

The stay was great. Staff were excellent and very accommodating

Interesting room construction and generally nice but a lot of surrounding noise

Great view, breakfast was simple but filling. Rooms were clean but small(they’re shipping containers after all) watch out for the neighbours in the mornings they’ll climb right up on your patio and eat any bananas you may have forgotten outside.

This property is super cool and in perfect location. A 30 second walk to Manuel Antonio National Park and about 1-3 minute walk to the beach. Stunning views from balcony.

Cute hotel and good pool. Lots of stairs but they will drive you up if needed. I would stay here again

Great location, one minute walk to MA park. Staff also very nice and helpful!

Walkable to the National Park and staff were very helpful! Overall nice stay for 1 night.

We could walk to the National park. AC in room was great. Breakfast was very good.

A short walk to Manuel Antonio with a beautiful view of the ocean and very friendly staff.

We stayed at El Faro for two nights and absolutely LOVED it. It was one of the highlights of our trip for both of our kids. The property (very steep!) is lovely and has the most beautiful views and sunsets. The pool is a great temperature and has breathtaking views. We got to see tons of capuchin monkeys (they climbed all over the hotel and onto our balcony every morning around 6:30am, and we saw them dunking themselves in and out of the pool around noon!). The restaurant has gorgeous views and the food is good and reasonably priced. The rooms - as pictured - are minimal, but comfortable. The balconies are spacious and all have wonderful views. The hotel is in an ideal location - there are several restaurant and shopping options right at the base the property, it is a two-minute walk to the Manuel Antonio park gate, and about a 4-minute walk to the beach. The hotel provides towels that you can take with you to the beach and trade in after use. I would highly recommend this hotel - we can't wait to go back!

Good hotel

The location is great

Views for miles! And monkeys in the early morning! Excellent service, clean, safe, very nice pool. Walking to and from town is a very steep hill, which was not for me. Restaurant on site was good.

Amazing views at breakfast towards Manuel Antonio Beach. You are five minutes from the beach and two minutes from the entrance to the national park. Make sure you book a ticket in advance and organise a guide. The rooms are functional with ac and a safe but really it is all about the location. Staff were helpful and the hotel is up a hill so use the golf buggy to get your luggage to your room. Unique hotel with great location and amazing views from the restaurant.

I just stayed here for 4 nights. Overall the hotel is nice. The rooms are good but the bed was uncomfortable. It felt like i was sleeping on a cot. The property is located on a very cery steep hill so it was very difficult walking up the hotel itself. They do have someone bringing you up in a golf cart though. The views from the balcony are magnificent. The food at the restaurant on site was ok.

The room was extremely small, it did not look like a hotel room. The AC was facing the bed and got me sick. The location was good.

Location, Service, Restaurant, View

Being so high up, El Faro offers an amazing view of the ocean and the jungle. We enjoy our breakfast with this view at their hotel restaurant everyday. The location is also very convenient. The entrance to Manuel Antonio park is about a block away, and the beach and restaurants are just short walk away. The staffs were professional, friendly, and helpful. We communicated with front desk via WhatsApp and got everything we needed within a few minutes, even at midnight when we had a medical emergency. We also saw some monkeys and a resident iguana on the premise which is cool.

The best hotel in Manuel Antonio. Great food and amazing service.

The hotel was great. We even had a visit at breakfast from some monkeys from Manuel Antonio Park. a very good experience, affordable food and incredible sunset view

A good option if you're stay includes a visit to the park (2 minutes) or beach (5 minute walk). Basic, clean and comfortable but a really neat theme with the containers. Staff were exceptional, in particular Carlos (Juan) in the restaurant. Food was very good and lots of variety.

Everything was great, highly recommended

It was a great hotel. Really close to Manuel Antonio national park.

Location is excellent. Right beside Manuel Antonio Park and walking distance to the beach (3 minutes) where you will see gorgeous sumsets. Caleb and staff were awesome!!!
