Anyone stay at Byblos?

I'm going soon. The tripadvisor reviews for this hotel seem completely contaminated by fake reviews, so I can't judge what the experience will actually be like.

Help!

You never, ever hear it mentioned here, I'm assuming your speaking about the hotel in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica?

It's in a good location, it's one of the "original" MA hotels.....

I don't think you'll get a lot of feedback here as I don't think many people who post here stay there.

Hi Yaneh,

Like bellaboo, I don't know anyone who has stayed there. But just because there is not much about it does not necessarily mean it is bad - or by the same token good. People who post regularly on the various boards tend to have their favourites - the places they have stayed in and keep going back to because they liked them. Then these places get more of a high profile.

What I can tell you, is that the hotel has been around a while. I remember it from when we started coming to the area more than 15 years ago. Its located on the MA Quepos road - somewhere near halfway. The grounds look fine from the road - but thats all I can say.
There is a small casino there. There are several restaurants - besides their own quite close by - Cafe Milagro, Barba Roja, Agua Azul, Salsipuedes, Gato negro, El Avion, the Si Como No restaurants to name a few.

If you end up staying there, please come back and let us know how it actually was.
Good luck.
Pura Vida,

It was there when I was first there in April of 1991....

We ate dinner there, which was good, but that was awhile ago!

Thanks for all the replies. I'm considering switching to another hotel, if possible, because of all the seemingly fake reviews.

I guess i'll just have to see what happens!

In any case, I will let you know what my experience there was like.
