Plinio
 
Does anyone have an opinion about this? It seems so reasonably priced, that it's a little unnerving, but it looks cool. Especially like that our family of 5 could have 3 story bungalow. Please advise. Thanks!!

Plinio's is a cool place .... The restaurant is good , and the staff really nice . It's not luxe at all , but clean , a cool vibe , like a funky small boutique hotel .

Thank you. If we are going to Manuel Antonio, is that central enough to everything, or will we wish for Si Como No? Also, is the pool at Plinio special at all? Thanks for your help.

My husband and I stayed there five years ago. Its very funky and he would like to stay there again but I really want a view of the ocean this time. It does not have windows just screens and you do hear the road traffic but other than that it was a nice place to stay. Good restaurant , nice pool.At that time there was a cabana bar by the pool.

It is basicaLLY just as central as SiComoNo to things , a bit further from the park , but closer to Quepos and lots of other restaurants . It is hard to compare it to SCN , one is big , the other small . One has a view , the other does not .One is fairly reasonable $$$ wise , the other not as much . Apples and oranges sort of thing . SCN is a bit " fancier " .... depends on what u r looking for .

Thanks for that. I think we would like the more resort feel for our last few days. If Si Como No is booked, do you have other similar spots in mind? Thanks again.

Si Como No would definitely be more of the resort "feel" compared to Plinios. So would Costa Verde , Tulemar , and Hotel Parador for sure .
