We absolutely loved our stay at Ronny’s! Just off the main road, it felt private and safe. The staff were incredibly friendly and made sure we had everything we needed.
The rooms are clean and on the smaller side, as advertised, which was completely fine for us. The restaurant serves as the main hub of activity, with the rooms just across the way. This isn’t a traditional hotel setup with a lobby or gym, but that’s part of the charm. Coming back from the beach and heading straight to your room...

The staff at the hotel was amazing - so helpful and friendly. Our rooms were cleaned daily with a different little animal made from towels each day. The pool was warm and clean, and we watched the monkeys play in the trees and toucans and macaws fly around. Walkable to the beach, many restaurants, shops, and Manuel Antonio national park. I would definitely stay there again
