    stunning ocean views
    friendly service staff
    exhausting walk
    decent breakfast

    The hotel's location is fantastic, just minutes from Manuel Antonio Park and the beach, with stunning ocean views from the room. The service staff were friendly, and the breakfast was decent. However, the steep walk to the rooms can be a bit exhausting, especially at night.

    unreliable wi-fi
    poor connection

    My stay was fantastic! The location was perfect, just a short walk to manuel antonio park and the beach. I enjoyed the unique experience of staying in a shipping container that was surprisingly cozy.

    wi-fi was unreliable during my stay.

    unique design
    great location
    warm service
    limited breakfast
    monkey nuisance

    The unique shipping container design drew me to El Faro Containers Beach. The room was charming and cozy with a nice view of the ocean. Staff greeted me warmly upon arrival, making the check-in process smooth. I appreciated the clean pools, especially the one for kids, perfect for cooling off after exploring. The location is a major plus, just a short walk to the Manuel Antonio park entrance and the beach, with several dining options nearby. I enjoyed watching wildlife around the premises, especially the monkeys, but they were a little too friendly—one opened my balcony door when I wasn’t paying attention! The room had a comfortable bed and a nice shower, but it lacked essentials like a wine opener. I had to go all the way down to the restaurant just to get my wine opened. Breakfast options were limited for vegans, which was disappointing. Overall, this stay had a few hiccups, but the good location and friendly staff made it worthwhile for a relaxing vacation.

    poor connection

    I really enjoyed the breathtaking ocean view from my room. The staff were exceptionally helpful, providing rides on golf carts up the steep incline, which made getting around much easier for seniors like myself.

    Wi-Fi reliability could be improved.

    I loved the fantastic pool with a view of the ocean and the nice breakfast options. Watching monkeys visit our balcony each morning was a highlight! I'd definitely return again.

    limited kids' menu

    We loved the fantastic ocean view mornings at breakfast! The pools were clean, and the location made it easy to explore Manuel Antonio National Park.

    In my wife’s opinion, a better kids' menu for dining would have been great.

    ocean view
    shipping container
    two pools
    constant noise

    The ocean view from the terrace during breakfast is superb, making mornings feel like a scene from a movie. This joint's unique shipping container design adds a cool vibe, and the presence of two pools gives you a good spot to cool down from the heat.

    Rooms near the restaurant or stairs suffer from the constant noise—6 AM chair scraping and loud foot traffic make resting a challenge. Those key card locks? A real pain if you step outside for a moment. actual locks would have been a better touch. Plus, the lack of late dining options is a hassle for anyone looking to grab a meal after a day's adventure.

    great food

    Family getaway delight

    I gotta say, the veggie burger we had at dinner, it was delish, possibly the best I'd ever tasted.

    Wasn't exactly inexpensive, but you know what, it’s acceptable for what you get.
