We had a wonderful stay here. The staff were extremely helpful with anything we needed. The hotel was spotless clean all the time. I highly recommend taking the private tour offered by Ricardo to the Poas Volcano National Park, La Paz & San Fernando Waterfalls, Bird Sanctuary and a Coffee Fields. He was an incredible guide and was an encyclopedia of information.

Booked the room with two single beds, no AC, & shared baths. Room was cute & clean, the bathrooms were ok & clean. The room was well ventilated & fan did maintain air circulating. We did not miss the AC at all. The stay included a delicious breakfast. The location was great we walked south about 3-4 blocks (5 min) to San Juan Santa Maria Park and you could catch Toasa bus "san Jose por Invu" that took you to Airport and then to downtown San José.
