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!
