Really enjoyed this hotel. Its location at the top of a hill. With great views of the Pacific Ocean was perfect. From our balcony, we could see the ocean. From the infinity pool we could see the ocean. Breakfast downstairs at the pool bar was relaxing, and again we could see the Pacific Ocean. Green mountains everywhere. The only thing I would add is that it’s within walking distance of many great restaurants and a nightclub, the drunken monkey.

The moment you step into the property you are greeted with a breathtaking view of the ocean and long Island visible from an elevated line of sight. The hotel reception staff is super friendly and welcomes you warm heartedly. The rooms have gorgeous view of the flora and the ocean. The pool side is nice and offers views of ocean. The property is kept very clean and is quite peaceful to relax and enjoy your stay.

Extremely disappointing stay at Villa Rock Boutique Resort. This property advertises itself as a luxury boutique resort, but our experience was far from luxurious.

The pool was out of service, which was one of the main amenities we were looking forward to using. The TV in the room did not work, the internet connection was unreliable and extremely slow, and the room safe repeatedly got stuck, making it frustrating to use.

For the price charged, basic amenities should be fully functional and properly maintained. Unfortunately, the overall condition and service did not match the expectations created by the resort’s marketing. We felt misled by the “luxury” description, as the property lacked the quality, comfort, and attention to detail that a true luxury resort should provide.

I would not recommend this resort to travelers seeking the premium experience that is being advertised.

We loved our stay here! The room had a beautiful view of the ocean and the bed was very comfortable. The fresh fruit at breakfast was outstanding and they really accommodate any requests well. The staff are so friendly and attentive. The pool overlooking the bay was perfectly cool and a great way to unwind in the hot afternoons. The view is stunning. The tile edging on the pool needs some maintenance but that did not take away from our enjoyment. We'd highly recommend this place!

It is spread out down a hillside so if you’re in one of the lower rooms, you will have some steps to do. In our opinion, totally worth it for the privacy and the view!

Some photos show a remodeled room… ours was not. Not the bathroom anyway
Also patio did not have screen door.
Housekeeping kept the room clean but little inconsistent with what they would replace. Amenities included the infinity pool and hot tub. There’s access to breakfast and drinks in a full menu. Breakfast is not included but available.
there is soap and shampoo, pool towels you can check out.
For the most part, everybody was friendly, some more helpful than others.
I would say I recommend but that’s only because nothing is inexpensive in Manuel Antonio that has this view and an infinity pool. Overall, the area is just incredibly expensive, especially given the lack of modern updates that being said 18 and up it’s a fun time.

What to expect for the price of 388 cad per NT (Feb 15-2026)
We arrived with overpriced UBER 30USD (from local Quepos airstrip – 20 min drive away.
It could be nice if we were greeted with some cold drink – ex Water like most places in the warm situation - as they (management) could see we were sweeting like … and it was 26 degrees but no sign we should have any cold drink …same in the room NO cold drink at all. Reason to even come here was to celebrate a big Birthday which was told to the management – but no help or little surprise or anything … like a nearby restaurant could find a nice surprice.
We were told we will be upgraded to superior room – sound nice but what we didn’t know the room number was right next to NOICE of hell special motor cycle as the worth starting early morning to late night with the only big road from nearby city to national Park.
After 2 days we were moved to lower placed room and also downgraded class. Room no 6 (price tag 388 CAD NT)
Difference between these 2 rooms A: Superior (upgraded) tiny Kitchen – filter coffee(bad) no tea – no cream – B: the downgraded room has NO KITCHEN or coffee or cups. We had to find a cheap cup in a nearby supermarket and lucky for us we brough a small kettle to boil water for own bringing coffee and cream.
Both rooms have including what they called “continental breakfast” I think a photo best describe how bad and almost NOTHING we were given in a place there call them resort 1 Piece of toast with floading MARGARINE

Fantastic view, convenient location, fair price and friendly staff.

Ask questions about your room before booking. They have a variety of designs that might be more to your liking. Ours was adequate but not up to the standards we normally prefer. The price we paid was appropriate for what we got.

But ... resort needs maintenance and upgrades. Our room lacked basic amenities like a coffee maker or microwave. Door lock was turn of the century brass.

Restaurant was understaffed, often lacked ingredients and was 20% overpriced compared to local venues. The included breakfast is more of an appetizer than a hardy meal.

Plumbing was poor and tile was dangerously slippery when wet. Pipes made weird gurgling noises at night.

Stone steps down were a challenge for seniors. No elevator or ramp. Ask for a top level room if you have mobility issues.

Nice pools and Jacuzzis.

Overall, a great value for the breathtaking ocean view. If you're tolerant of 3rd world plumbing and eat off site more you'll appreciate Villa Roca.

The property is lovely and the views are spectacular. The “continental breakfast” leaves much to be desired, so when you think breakfast is included, most order from a paid menu. Also, don’t pay any attention to websites leading you to believe this is an LGBTQ resort. That's in it’s past.

Property has a great view, but is in need of maintenance. Two of the hot tubs were out of service and the remaining one was only partially functional. The pool was not fully filled and missing tiles. The room balcony door didn’t latch, so we weren’t able to lock it. The room was dated and and was poorly finished (messy paint, partially updated shower, small TV). Be aware that the rooms also require walking up and down several flights of stairs to get to with no elevator access. However the staff was helpful in booking local tours.

We get room with a beautiful view as the picture and the pool look like in the picture.
But that’s it, the room is very small, no place to open 2 suitcase (and you need when you travel), no windows or vanta in the bathroom so it’s always wet.
The air conditioner is leaking water on the table so not recommend to place your important stuff.
Minor issue is when you go to the pool, mostly the don’t have available clean towels, wait for laundry or bring your own.
Cleaning service was good.

The location can't be beat and the service couldn't have been friendlier. Loved the infinity pool and there were three hot tubs on property that also looked amazing. The room needed a few updates (the overhead shower didn't work, but the handheld did, the overhead light didn't work but the bedside lighting and natural sun provided more than enough light and the safe didn't work) but was always spotless everytime we came back from an epic walkabout or beach trip and though I didn't catch the restaurant being open during my stay, other patrons seemed to love it.

Great property and staff. We were offered a free upgrade to the villa due to the length of our stay! What a nice surprise! The only negative was the construction that we were told was going to last two days, lasted the whole 11 days we were there. But, we did understand that it was required and they had to complete it. Would have just liked them to be more honest about the time frame! Other than this, great place and we would stay there again.

Note: it isn’t a LGBT or clothing optional hotel anymore, so be mindful of old articles/reviews if that’s what you are looking for.
Good location with great views. Breakfast was nice although not included.
What was the big let down and ruined the stay however was the fact that there was a very pungent sewer smell coming out of the bathroom and stinking the whole room up. When I raised it with reception they said it was probably due to the humidity. Are you kidding me!? It’s always humid in Costa Rica. Surely it wasn’t the first time this happened so can’t believe they would give this room to customers.

This is a quiet resort and is LGBTQ friendly, the pool has an amazing view and the hot tub in a private jungle setting with colourful lighting was definitely a highlight!

Hotel with View

The stay at this hotel was decent. As with all hotels, pros and cons:

Pros:

- View from the pool and hot tub is very nice and unique
- Each room has its own balcony/patio facing the ocean
- Carmen and Ismael at the bar are amazing. Fernando was helpful in the front office.
- Property is partially renovated and was continuing to be renovated while I was there
- Generally clean property, daily housekeeping
- Each room has a refrigerator and air conditioning
- Pretty close to Manuel Antonio restaurants, parks and beaches; most cabs/tours are familiar with the hotel
- Check out is at noon (instead of standard 11 am)

Cons:

- Property needs more renovations, such as a new shower tub in my room and updated decor, lacks color
- We had an issue with the power and water going out for a few hours during rain
- WiFi was spotty, FaceTime froze
- Wasn’t a huge fan of the bar and restaurants offerings
- The only body wash/shampoo are dispensers (no bars or small bottles) and housekeeping didn’t refill it until I asked
- The pool is cleaned daily (good) but should probably be cleaned twice daily due to the bugs that accumulate from being in Costa Rica and changes in PH which can irritate skin
- Hotel was sold by the old LGBT German owners to a man from Texas with a more traditional view who removed the hotel’s LGBT designation and most of the clothing optional space. This in itself isn’t an issue but communication to guests about the changes is lacking and caused some awkwardness.

I recently had the pleasure of staying here and it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I entered, I was greeted with warm smiles and excellent customer service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was absolutely perfect.

One of the highlights of my stay was the delicious breakfast that was served each morning. The selection was vast, with a wide variety of options to cater to every palate. From freshly baked pastries to made-to-order omelets, there was something for everyone. It was a great way to start the day.

The hotel's infinity pool was truly tempting. With its breathtaking views and crystal-clear waters, it was the ultimate relaxation spot. Whether I wanted to take a refreshing dip or simply soak up the sun on one of the comfortable lounge chairs, the pool provided the perfect escape.

What truly stood out to me was the exceptional service from all the employees. Everyone I encountered was friendly, attentive, and genuinely interested in making my stay memorable. From Fernando at reception to Carmen at the restaurant to the housekeeping team, everyone went above and beyond.

The bed in my room was incredibly comfy, providing a restful night's sleep. The air conditioning worked well, ensuring a comfortable temperature throughout my stay. Additionally, the hotel offered flexible checkout, allowing me to relax and enjoy my last few moments in this wonderful oasis without feeling rushed.

Enjoyed our week long stay!

Recently renovated, my husband and I had a gorgeous superior king room that was very spacious! We loved the balconies and the gorgeous views. Everything was very clean, although the towels were very old and worn for pool use and very small and not too nice for the bathroom. Brand new towels arrived for pool/beach use the day before we left so that was nice! The food at the restaurant was very good, but often they did not serve lunch when it was supposed to be available. Outstanding service by Gerald from concierge, Carmen who made excellent drinks and attended to us in the afternoon/evenings and Kenia in the mornings who got to know what our usual breakfast orders were. The pool was lovely, although new lounge chairs should be next in their renovation plans. A few monkeys were around the restaurant occasionally in the mornings, but not really any colorful birds on site. Gerald, Joanna and Carmen also spoke English the best, the others were not as proficient. The location was great, walkable to many restaurants. Easy enough to hop on the bus to the beach. Adults only, there is still a high percentage of gay male couples at this hotel, but there are also some straight couples there and it is no longer clothing optional, which was fine. It was a good choice for our family of 4, including our one LGBTQ adult child, for whom we picked this hotel in the first place, with their comfort in mind.

Let me start by saying the staff was extremely friendly and the views from the property are amazing. It's an easy walk to local restaurants and just up the road from the National Park. I knew this was a very simple property and not what I would call Luxe, but I was hoping for standards like hot water and the ability to close the window in the bathroom. I had to take more cold showers than hot due to either lack of hot water or the fact nothing came out of the hot water faucet. There was a window in our bathroom that wouldn't close and the floors in the room were so slick you thought you were in an ice-skating competition. They were doing construction on nearby rooms - that didn't bother me but all the dirt and water from that construction was on our stairs and there was no way to get to our rooms w/out taking it with us on our shoes. On a side note, I had read a review on here that talked about how \"aggressive\" some of the guests were. I laughed when I read it, but unfortunately, I had the same issue, not once but twice. No, typically means no, but apparently not here.
