Hillside Pools and Views
Two hillside pools with ocean views anchor the property, surrounded by sundecks with lounge space. The hillside location provides ocean and national park views from most areas. Wireless internet access is available in public areas, and the property includes a tour desk, luggage storage, and laundry facilities.
Manuel Antonio Location

“El Faro impresses as an eco-conscious choice near Manuel Antonio Park, cleverly built from shipping containers. I think the hillside infinity pools are a real draw, especially given the rates. It's a solid option if you're seeking something different and value-driven.”
