El Faro Containers Beach Hotel - A hillside eco-friendly property made from shipping containers with two pools, ocean views, and proximity to Manuel Antonio National Park

El Faro Containers Beach Hotel, Costa Rica's first and only hotel built entirely from repurposed shipping containers, features two hillside infinity pools with ocean views and a popular open-air restaurant. The 50 air-conditioned rooms include flat-screen TVs, refrigerators, and private balconies, with select categories offering sea views or access to a top-floor sundeck. A complimentary breakfast of local cuisine is served on weekends, while the on-site restaurant provides Western-friendly dishes and Costa Rican specialties like casados and seafood. Guests can access Playa Espadilla in an eight-minute walk, with Manuel Antonio National Park just 50 meters away. Additional amenities include free WiFi in public areas, luggage storage, laundry facilities, and a tour desk. The property's hillside position ensures expansive ocean and park views from most areas, including the terrace and sundeck. The poolside bar serves refreshments, and downtown Quepos is 5 km away for markets, banks, and pharmacies.
