Si Como No Resort & Wildlife Refuge

Everything!! Truly amazing!! Perfect, staff were incredible. Thank you Had squirrel monkeys and sloths on the tree outside our room. Was awesome

Nothing

The hotel has a beautiful view and you can see wildlife right from your room. We saw a sloth on our first day and monkeys on the last. The pool bar and restaurant have great food and the location is great.

There are a lot of stairs so be aware if you have any mobility issues. Also, the couch beds are not very comfortable.

Staff could not unlock the sliding door to the balcony. a small light on the phone kept flashing but I never figureed out why, or how to pick up messages.

Overlooking the Pacific Ocean a beautiful laid out resort with family and adult only pools, both with swim up bars. All staff very friendly. The room was clean but in comparison to the other hotels we’d stayed at a little tired and not so looked after. A/C and fans so comfortable and two king beds with an ocean view. We ate at the hotels seafood restaurant which was good. The pool was welcoming as it is much warmer on this side of Costa Rica and the pool bar staff were very friendly. We booked two tours with the hotel. First was to Manuel Antonio National Park which was excellent but so much more touristic than the other National Parks we’d been to, with a busy entrance and a trail of groups along the path. Bag checks are in force as the monkeys WILL empty your bags of food! The guide was informative and we saw a lot of wildlife as all the guides inform each other of what there is to see each day The beach at the end was beautiful and fruits and refreshments back at the bus park with our guide before returning were welcome. You are able to stay for as long as you wish in the park. The hotel runs a free shuttle bus at certain times of the day. The hotel also has a butterfly garden across the road which is free for guests - very peaceful and a good cafe there.

Our second tour was a night tour which is the only tour in the whole of Costa Rica we didn’t enjoy and it was the most expensive. The tour was just across the road from the hotel in their own park but we started late. We felt uncomfortable and uneasy as we were put with a group of six who must’ve booked late as they had to pay on arrival. We think they had been drinking and were then sold cans of beer at the park entrance to take in with them, of which we think some were left in the park. Although the guide showed us lots of wildlife it felt a little chaotic with the group, with some at the back provoking the rescue crocodiles which the guide didn’t see,and we were glad when the tour was finished. It was such a shame as it was our only negative experience of our whole time in Costa Rica
