We only stayed here one night, but wished we could have been here longer! The room was lovely and clean, the views were great, and staff was friendly. The grounds were gorgeous, and very enjoyable to walk through. We sat in lawn chairs and watched mot mots, aracari, and other birds. The on-site restaurant was fantastic as well! And they had an airport shuttle. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

Great choice for a one night stay before/after flight! It does feel a bit outdated, but everything still looked nice and clean. I got my hopes up reading about the coffee trail, thinking it was a longer trail, but it is very short. It is definitely still worth experiencing, but keep in mind it only takes about 10minutes to get though. We had dinner out instead of trying to the restaurant, so I cannot comment on that. We also did not have AC in our room. It was fine, but I didn’t realize that when I booked it, so also make sure to check. The biggest benefit was free airport shuttles both ways!

Fantastic first night in Costa Rica

The hotel was easily accessible from the airport (just 25 minute drive) yet far enough away to feel one with nature. The room was large with a great view and all the staff were very pleasant. We will be back again the night before flying home

Lovely view out over San Jose and more!

This is a perfect small hotel, which we overnighted at between flights returning to USA. The pool was warm enough to enjoy, there were lots of places to use outdoor chairs to enjoy the gardens and the birdwatching was excellent right there. Wonderful to have restaurant right here.
