We booked this hotel because we had been here 3 years ago, and liked it. Unfortunately, it has deteriorated markedly, and now needs very extensive renovation and much better maintenance. Beds are old, hard, and very uncomfortable, furniture is beat up, water pressure and temperature are erratic, and AC can't keep up with heat load. There are hazardous, uneven walkways and stairs without railings. Pool is too shallow to swim. Landscaping has been neglected. The restaurant, which was previously excellent, is now substandard for the area. Repairs are not done professionally...for example, the sink had been repaired without a trap, allowing sewer gas to enter the room. We had to keep water in the sink at all times to prevent noxious odors. I DO want to compliment the STAFF, who were very nice, and did their best to make us comfortable, but this old, run-down hotel is no longer an acceptable value. There are much better options in Manuel Antonio.
