Casitas Eclipse Hotel, Puerto Quepos

I visited Manuel Antonio and stayed overnight at Las Casitas in Aug 06. The staff are friendly and helpful. The accommodations are quite comfortable and spacious, quiet and private. The shower has plenty of room for two :) The attached restaurant where we ate breakfast is fine but restaurant El Avion across the road is fantastic! Food and drink are excellent; the view from the deck at sunset over the Pacific.....que romantico!! The hotel has three built-in pools. None were ever crowded, one we had to ourselves for a few hours. Location relative to the beach is great. You can walk if you want (approx 2 miles if I remember right) but I drove since its uphill coming back to the hotel. And what an amazing beach it is! I'm from New England and I thought I knew what a beach was until I saw this place. It was tough to go home. Parking is right on the road which I didn't care for at first but there were no troubles overnight so it wasn't bad. Everywhere is wildlife. Iguanas on the steps of the hotel, birds like I've never seen in my life, and little monkeys crossing the road to the beach. I give my stay at Las Casitas a big thumbs up and I'm going back there soon.
