A great stay in a beautiful country
Had a fantastic time in a great room with ocean views and excellent staff. The breakfast was phenomenal at the hotel and at the Shana. We also enjoyed dinner from the Shana one night. Clean pool and excellent customer service.

The hotel is clearly under renovation and nobody told us before traveling from abroad in a group of 8 people with 4 little kids! Even though the staff was friendly and trying to help but the infrastructure of the hotel was beyond horrible. The pool was closed also under renovation. We did not know until we get there.

The view from this property is spectacular. At one time you can see that this was probably the premier hotel in Manuel Antonio. The price was great and the nightly rate does include an amazing breakfast buffet. However, please be aware that this property does need maintenance. Besides that I would recommend this hotel highly.

Beware - check hotel status
The good: the staff was friendly and helpful.
The bad: it felt like staying in a construction site instead of a hotel.
The hotel is going through major renovations. It is dirty all over and debris in some areas. Pool is closed and hot tab dismantled. Water leaking in the balcony and a lot of noise, water leaking and wet floor in the lobby, broken ceiling with construction equipment in the lobby. Basic breakfast is missing items on the short menu, and for any other food/meal we have been sent to a nearby hotel.
We didn't know about the place status. The real status is far from the nice photos and amenities and the booking site.

This hotel is under renovations. We didn't know about it when we made a reservation. We came on 11/13 to the hotel and found out that it is under renovations. Why didn't Expedia let us know ??? We paid a full amount, even more than the other hotel next to this hotel that wasn't under renovations. Our hotel sent us to the next hotel if we wanted spa and pool. It was raining very heavily on that week, who wants to start going to the next hotel? Also there were wet spots in the hotel, breakfast was missing a lot of things on the menu, and they didn't have enough staff. I expect Expedia to check and let us know on the situation when the hotel is under renovations.

This hotel was one that we probably shouldn’t have booked… we were skeptical that it was in transition of ownership and seemed to have 2 names and 2 different websites.
We were not given the room style that we booked. We were given a smaller space with less beds. We had construction next to us. A discarded toilet on the balcony was our first view when we arrived.
The shower was filthy, the toilet clogged, the hot water wasn’t turned on in our room.
Our last date discovered that we had robbed. 2 sets of AirPod pros were stolen from our room. Later discovered to be at an address of someone working construction at the hotel.
Pool was not available and we were never informed that this would be an issue.

Friendly staff, beautiful views and a great value. Only down side was the railings by the pool could be closer together. My almost two year old could fit through them. That Would be an awful fall.

The property was amazing with beautiful views and very relaxing, The room was soooooooo clean and the bed and pillows were extremely comfortable (this is always an issue, but not this time). When they found out my husband and I were celebrating our 25th wedding aniversary they hurried to accomodate a present for us to enjoy and create memories together. The restaurant was in a close by sister hotel and they took us back and forth in a golf cart. Very enjoyable experiend. Breakfast was included, and we were surprised of the amount of food and the variety. The buffet was a pleasant surprise. We could use the swiming pool at the hotel we were staying as well of the sister hotel where the restaurant was. There was a short walk to a very secluded beach ( ap piece of paradise) I have been to the are of Manuel Antonio many many times before, but this experience was top of the top
Meagan, the receptionist was an angel that assisted us with professionalism and kindness.

I can't believe this place gets good reviews. If they offer you the free upgrade to room 525 don't take it...it's a huge room..but... I can't think of a polite but accurate word for it. A/C struggles to keep up with the heat pouring from the mechanical room near by.
The lock stopped working it took several trips to the front desk to get it fixed. I tipped the guy for letting us in to our room. I thought working doors were included in hotels. The water shut off twice.
The staff are lovely and do their best, but a place that neglects maintenance as badly as this place does probably doesn't take great care of there staff.
Did I mention that there are no dining facilities in the place. Sorry, there is a kitchen, but it is unused.

The property was gorgeous. The staff at Blue Mirador were very kind and helpful. The bartender did not show up at all the next day, which was very disappointing because we were in Manuel Antonio for only two days.
We however had the worst experience eating diner on both the nights at their partner restaurant—Shana by the beach. Blue Mirador does not have its own restaurant and so we had to go to Shana. The food was absolutely substandard and the wait staff were really rude. The one staff who served us both the nights, refused to give us regular water and insisted that we buy bottled water (which we principally don't in a place with clean water in order to avoid plastic waste). She was bursque and unsmiling throughout our interaction. On the first night I thought that maybe something was off—everyone can have a bad day. But the second night she behaved the same way, as if our presence was a bother. Addition to their behavior, I asked them for a seat by the balcony which was empty and they said they can't and gave some flimsy excuse. They also forgot to get me my drink. I don't know if they treat all their guests the same way, but it was a really bad experience during a really beautiful stay.
