Ett bra och personligt boende med hög kvalitet

Ett mycket trevligt och personligt hotell på lagom avstånd till det mesta. Härligt poolområde, rummet är ett eget hus med individuell inredning och personalen är mycket servicevänlig, trevlig och engagerad. Rätt miljö för en avkopplande semester vid det fantastiska strandområdet kring Santa Teresa.

Bungalow with a super cool pool

Wonderful small hotel just 3 minutes outside of the town of Santa Teresa. My husband, my 10 year old son and I really appreciated being able to return to this quiet, lush, comfortable spot after a full day in town / at the beach / exploring the area. It is super convenient and has the best pool with great ambient music and cabanas with long curtains. Its not a resort-sized pool; more like the best backyard pool that you could imagine, surrounded by tropical beauty. Individual bungalows provide great privacy. Mattresses are firm with good pillows. Breakfasts are very good too. If the room had a small dresser to help us stay organized, it would be perfect. Other spots have direct beach access or ocean views. If that is not critical feature, this place is a dream.

Little Paradise

What can I say apart that this is a great and lovely hotel. We had a perfect stay. The bungalows are absolutely charming; as is the hotel. The swimming pool and the garden are a little paradise and everything is clean and well maintained. You can even enjoy local product for shower. In addition the staff as well as the owner are very kind and always helpful. There is a large choice of breakfast. I highly recommend you to stay here; the place is quite and really peacefull and totally worth the moderate price; and to enjoy a cocktail by the pool. Thanks again to the staff for such nice welcome !

El hotel está estructurado en varios bungalows, muy originales. También tiene un ambiente muy relajante y el personal es muy solícito y simpático. Cuando estuvimos alojados allí estaban a punto de hacer remodelaciones. Supongo que por eso no había armaritos en el bungalow, que echamos en falta. No tienen TV.

Perfect for what we needed

This was our first trip to Costa Rica, and our plan was to see as much of the area as possible! This hotel was perfect for that. The room was simple and had no TV, which we actually enjoyed not having. I'm petty certain our bed was two twin beds pushed together, because you could feel the seam, but it didn't hinder our sleep, we just laughed about it. The bathroom was clean and simple. The continental breakfast was also simple, but delicious. We ate it most days to save money. Each day we woke up, ate, and then left for the day only coming back to change to go back out for dinner. We did lounge by the pool a few times for an hour or so, just to recharge. The pool was small, but perfect for us to lounge beside. The ocean is a short walk away so the pool wasn't a big draw for us in the first place when booking. The staff were great, they greeted us each time we came and went, asking how our day was going. It was the perfect little oasis during our very busy time in Costa Rica :)

Impolite staff and poor breakfast

We paid for breakfast, and upon arrival it was confirmed that we would be served "continental breakfast". This consisted of one hot drink, dry bread and one glass of juice. Any other orders (eggs, yoghurt, etc.) was charged extra. We said to the staff that this didn't quite meet our expectations to "inluded continental breakfast", but their response was impolite, with rolling of eyes and no understanding. Unpleasant experience.
