Best View in Manuel Antonio
Castillo Amber is the place to stay in Manuel Antonio. We stayed in El Congo for 8 days, the top floor of Amber. The pictures are very accurate but nothing like actually being there. The kitchen is fully stocked and we cooked breakfast every morning, enjoying fresh brewed coffee in the percolator.
The best parts of this place are the patios and the view. I cannot describe the beauty we saw. The pictures don’t do justice. And the wildlife we enjoyed each day was amazing - toucans, monkeys, iguanas and much more.
The pool was so refreshing after coming home from our excursions. The water was crystal Clear and cool. The steps down to it from El Congo are steep and windy so be aware of this. But very doable and worth it for a cool dip each day.
The bedrooms are spacious and have plenty of closet space. The beds are a bit hard but comfortable enough to sleep. Plenty of pillows. Jazmine brought all
The towels and linens we needed each day.
The unit is air conditioned throughout, which is very nice when sleeping or on especially humid days. Since the windows of the large patio do not open for a breeze this made it comfortable in the main area. However, we only used it twice because it was such nice weather.
Kent recommended the driver, Eliud and we highly recommend using him. He did the round trip from San Jose for us and we used his service as a taxi throughout the week when he was available. He knows the area and pointed out so much wildlife snd cultural details. He also has a great souvenir shop.
Thank you Jazmine for taking care of us and the unit all week. She’s a gem!
I highly recommend staying here.
