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.
