Nice clean place with friendly staff, with a pool by the forest, a quiet spot for yoga/meditation/massage, and paths in the forest where we saw squirrel monkeys, howler monkeys and scarlet macaws. The pool has a few missing tiles but, apart from that minor thing, everything else was nicely kept and clean.

Amazing place to stay. Room was clean, pool was great and the food was perfect. There is a kitchen if you prefer to cook. Staff were super friendly and informative. We traveled with 2 teenage boys, they also loved it at Teva.

Great Place to Stay
Stayed here for 3 nights and it was really good. The restaurant has really great food. Clean and the areas offer a few treks. Only gripe is the parking which is on a horrible slant

Great location near the town and park. Friendly staff. Restaurant, bar, kitchen (could use some more cleanliness), clean restrooms/showers/rooms, charging stations, pool, hiking trails, tours! Would stay again!

The dorms are ok. You have to make your own bed on arrival.
I asked one of the staff if she could help put some phone data on my phone and I gave her $20 to do this and within a couple days it had ran out. So on that note I was not impressed with the help from one of the staff at this hostel.

Over priced and very tiny space
Very very tight space and no ventilation. Very bad location neither not close to Manuel Antonio nor Quepos. But some staff there are very helpful.

The staff were amazing. The bar was loud on my first night and they moved us to a garden-facing room with no problem at all. They also happily provided an extra pillow. The location is very convenient (though the road is very busy, so be careful!). The pool is lovely, and the restaurant is excellent. Would have appreciated hooks and cups or glasses in the bedroom, but all in all, a great place to stay!

Eco retreat
The staff was hardworking and friendly. Front desk was very helpful with any questions about the area or tours you wanted to book. The area was nice and a short walk from the bus stop, but like everything in CR it was uphill. Lovely place with good value for a private room.

100% recommend
This hotel is a 10 minute walk (uphill) to restaurants and a 10 minute drive to the national park and beach. The hotel has some nice trails and lots of monkeys around the pool area. Apparently there are some sloths but we wasnt lucky to see one. The food and drinks at the restaurant are nice and reasonably priced. A really great find and would recommended for anyone looking to stay in Manuel Antonio!

Schöne und sehr saubere Unterkunft. Etwas abseits gelten, aber das macht den Flair aus.
Leider sind die Doppelzimmer sehr klein, sodass es kaum Ablagemöglichkeiten gibt. Ebenso war das Bett komplett durchgelegen.
