"Great property. Perfectly located. "

"My son and I chose Hotel Lirio because of its central location, which made it incredibly convenient for the excursions we had planned. From the moment we arrived, the experience was welcoming and seamless. We were greeted by a kind & attentive receptionist who personally escorted us to our room, highlighting key areas of the hotel along the way. Our room featured comfortable double beds, was spotless, and offered a beautiful view of the sunset—an added bonus after long days of exploring. One of the standout aspects of our stay was the exceptional service we received from Wilfredo. That first evening, he went out of his way to find an NHL game for us on the restaurant TV and handled our special meal requests with care & attention. His dedication didn’t go unnoticed—we learned he works both day & night shifts, yet he remained consistently friendly and engaged. We saw Wilfredo again the next morning during the all-inclusive breakfast before an early excursion, where he continued our conversation with genuine warmth. Later, between outings, we returned & were treated to a customized burger prepared by his brother, Olman, the chef—an excellent meal that exceeded expectations. On our final morning, we had to leave very early, & once again Wilfredo ensured we were taken care of by arranging a to-go breakfast, which we truly appreciated. Overall, it provided not only a comfortable & convenient stay but also outstanding, personalized service that made our trip even more memorable. "

"We loved the view from this place. Balcony for our room, plus plenty of outdoor seating areas to enjoy the sunset. They also have a pair of nesting toucans, so we enjoyed seeing them every morning and evening. They have a walking trail with hanging bridges that is pretty nice and a free morning tour (book early). The bus stop was a short walk away, so we didn't drive anywhere when we were at Manuel Antonio. There is also a good soda and small convenience store at the bottom of the hill."

"Beautiful location! The servers at the restaurant during breakfast are great! The restaurant alone wins heart as is insane view of the ocean and sunset"

"Perf"

"This was a very nice small hotel that was off the main road but felt very secluded once you are inside the property. The pool was small with limited seating during happy hour, but the staff was very friendly and pleasant."

"Property was very nice although the walking up and down the hills within the property was difficult and felt dangerous especially on the rolling surface installed. Service was great although there was a tendency to gouge for trivial services (ie salt and lime on a beer glass was an upcharge, Evian bottles of water $9 each). Bartending, waiters and golf cart drivers were definitely the saving grace. Our room A/C system was marginal. "

"This is a fantastic resort for a family! Th grounds are gorgeous and the staff is extremely friendly! We had the best time! Also loved that we could book excursions there at the hotel as well. Would highly recommend! "

"As many others have said, the beds are uncomfortable. The pool looks clean, but left our swimsuits smelling badly. The beach has a lot of waves and a riptide, so not the best for swimming. However, there are plenty of activities and the evening staff was helpful with those. Plenty of good restauraunts and walking to Manuel Antonio Park. Parking in front of reception desk made us feel more confident. "
