A lovely stay.

This is a very simple and beautiful hotel. We stayed in one of the casitas/bungalows and it was just lovely. The room and bathroom were very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and staff were all warm and friendly. This is not a fancy hotel, but it was just perfect for us. Cute towel animals greeted us every day.

Lovely property that is well maintained. The staff was exceptional. Rooms were clean and cool. We stayed in the casitas. Dining was delicious and had wonderful staff. The location was close to a main road, so the traffic noise was noticeable. There was also a disco down the road that was popular and had exuberant music that one could hear. We appreciated not being in the heart of the town as there was little traffic congestion. We would recommend the property to anyone who would enjoy a multi-cultural and authentic experience of Costa Rica. We sure did!

We spent 2 weeks here. The owners were so nice and so welcoming. They made our stay very comfortable. The staff did a wonderful job cleaning the rooms. The housekeeping would make beautiful art with the towels when they cleaned the room. Every time was a different animal. So creative and talented. I took pictures of all of them. The entire grounds are well kept and clean. We enjoyed a nice breakfast every morning in the Bamboo restaurant. Which started serving dinner before we left. A delicious menu. Wonderful staff. Great location. Walking distance into town. We would definitely recommend a stay here.

We booked the room from Expedia, when we arrived we received a tiny match box room, we went back to the property manager and he upgraded the room to a bungalow room, had to add $150.00 more, breakfast was from 7:00 to 9:00, I arrived at 9:00 am they refused to provide us with a cup of coffee. Beware of what you book before you book and before you arrive, it felt like a bait and switch, and the area is not the best!

This property is just on the outskirts of town so it is convenient but away from the noise of La Fortuna. All the people at the hotel were friendly, helpful and kind. The room was clean. The gardens are beautiful and we saw many birds, hummingbirds and flowers. We also enjoyed the pool.

We stayed three nights. Immaculately clean. Free breakfast ordered from menu which was then freshly cooked not a buffet. Quiet part of town but just 2 minute drive to the town square. Unless you stay at an elite resort and pay five times the rate I venture to say you won’t find better.
