“Hotel San Bada's proximity to Manuel Antonio National Park is a major draw, placing guests steps from both the jungle and the beach. Eco-conscious practices and family-friendly facilities are positives, although some aspects need updating. I'm concerned about the reported security issues and pool maintenance; these should be addressed immediately.”
