This resort is about 5 kilometres outside of Quepos, Costa Rica and 7 kilometres from Manuel Antonio Park. The resort is small with half the units for rent and half the units owned, I think about 30 in total on two floors. We had a two bedroom unit on the second floor that overlooked the pool. The units are not new but are clean and well kept up.
There was a full kitchen, dining area, living area, balcony, and two bedrooms with two baths. The units provide lots of room for two couples. There is no dish washer in the unit but we never found this an issue since we ate at the local restaurant most of the time. The beds were comfortable, large bathrooms and closets and a safe in the master bedroom. The staff was very friendly, always a smile and an olla! Fresh towels were provided every other day and the unit was given a brief tidy by the room staff. Pool towels are provided, you just get them each time you go to the pool and turn them in when you are done. They were a little thin and stained but did the trick.
The pool is very nice and warm and there is a great lady making fresh drinks (pina coladas with fresh pineapple) each day from about 2-7 at the swim up bar. Her special drinks were $4 each and beer was about $2 so very reasonably priced. There also was a tennis court but we did not use this so can’t comment on its condition but we did notice people playing on it each day.
There is a restaurant just beside the resort, Cayuga run by Anna and her husband that is open for lunch and dinner till 8 pm. She has a varied menu and makes everything up as you order it. You could get dinner and a beer for under $10 so that is why we rarely cooked in our own unit. Anna also cooks breakfast at the resort each morning. Again everything is made up fresh when ordered, eggs, pancakes, cereals, lots of fresh fruit, etc. Breakfast would range around $3-$7 depending on what you ordered.
The first morning we were there a staff member went over what was available to do in the area. She went over where to buy groceries, best ways to get around, where to exchange money, etc., a very informative event. From this talk we booked zip lining with Canopy Safari, white water rafting with Rafiki Safari Lodge and a trip to Manual Antonio National Park. For all of these trips we were picked up rights at the resort which is great considering the poor conditions of some of the roads. We also did a monkey trip which is right from the resort on the river that runs beside it. We were taken out to see the monkeys and we came across a large group that came right up to the boat and ate bananas from our hands. The resort also held a barbeque one night by the pool and you could have beef, chicken or fish or a sample plate with each and all was accompanied with rice and salad for about $5.
We had a very good stay at Pueblo Real and would recommend it to others. It is clean, comfortable and offers good activities and is handy to Quepos and Manuel Antonio.
