Rooms are a fairly good size and somewhat clean. You basically get 2 flat pillows that are just awful. Location is excellent and the staff were friendly. Pool had no one in it and it was always refreshing.

what a fantastic start to our holiday! The wildlife at this hotel is amazing. We got to see squirrel monkeys, white face monkies daily. We even saw a sloth during breakfast on our first day. The breakfast was great and staff wonderful. Beautiful little spot Thank you

The property location was great with wildlife and birds right on the property. But there were many things broken that they didn’t seem to want to fix. We stayed in a budget room which I would not recommend, it was like a basement room under the stairs that was super small and smelled like mold. The breakfast was good.

Pretty basic but good location. Rooms are a little quirky on the design side, but I slept super well in the king size bed

Hotel Mandarina is a little gem in need of some TLC. That said, we loved our 8 night stay there as it’s quirky qualities lend character rather than reduce comfort. Shower was hot, bed very comfortable, the generous breakfast was fresh and delicious and always served with a smile. In fact, the entire team of employees at Mandarina were warm and friendly. The setting is peaceful, private and very laid back. We spent several afternoons in the little lower garden outside our unit “D” just reading and enjoying the wildlife. While there we saw: capuchins aplenty- cheeky little monkeys they are, howlers, agouti, Blue Morpho butterflies, a Toocan and several other amazing birds right around the terrace and pool area. The pool needs some tile replacement but the water and deck area was cleaned daily and we used it most days for a refreshing dip during the hot afternoon. The location is perfect as well, near a grocery, restaurants and an easy bus ride to the national park which we visited three times during our stay in the area.

Staff were very friendly. We stayed at the one family room thay have and it was quite proximate to the street. Not a lot of cars noise, but you could hear the music from the bars down the road. Our room had a terrific kitchen with restaurant quality all-clad skillets that made my inner chef drool, but the artistic sink was more pretty than functional to contradict the restaurant-esque feel. The breakfast was tasty but the sitting area is by the pool with not a lot of overhead cover so if it rains in the morning it's not comfortable to eat. Location is great, close to a lot of restaurants, the beautiful "secret" beach (ask the staff) and about 5 minutes from MA park. If you're heading to the park by car, note that about 1km from the park you will be stopped by officially looking men that instruct you to park there for the park. Ignore them, they simply work at that specific (privately owned) parking lot and there are plenty other lots closer to the entrance so you won't have to climb 20 minutes for nothing on your way back.

Hard beds
My son lost his headphones while staying here. He always sleeps with them on, so one morning we left early on a tour and when we got back to the hotel his headphones went missing. Told staff about it but she didn't seem to care she said to keep looking for them.

Good location
This hotel is a good choice for those who want to stay near Manuel Antonio. Location is great with a supermarket and 3 great restaurants within 3 mins walk. People should be aware that the jungle surroundings means that there are insects in the area but not too big a deal if that’s not a problem for you.
