Hotel Pumilio Travel Tips
Hotel Pumilio serves fresh fruit and a delicious Costa Rican breakfast, but that’s the only meal they serve. This hotel is not within walking distance of anything; patrons without a car receive two courtesy taxi trips to town from the hotel. The WiFi connection does not work inside the rooms, balconies and public areas have a better signal. Both Manuel Antonio and Carara national parks are worth visiting, but Manuel Antonio National Park should have priority.
