We stayed 2 nights at this small complex of about 8 lodges which are set in pretty tropical gardens. The pool is equally attractive and located next to a converted barn, where breakfast is served. With only a ten minute walk into town, it is in an ideal location. I would recommend this lodge family run business to any couple... More

This is a quiet bungalow-style accommodation with beautiful grounds and a pool. Our room was spacious with two double beds, a table, fridge and a TV. The service was excellent, the room was very clean and the provided 7am breakfast of eggs and fruit was perfect to start the day. Our only complaint was the shower: the water would go... More

We were drawn to this place because of availability and being away from the main "tourist" hub. Our plan was to stay for two nights but an emergency changed this situation. We had to leave the next morning and in haste, left behind a camera lens. A phone call to the inn and Vanessa took care of the rest. She... More

I stayed at this modest but very pleasant hotel (bungalow accommodation) for 2 nights on a discover Costa Rica tour. The grounds and pool were lovely and both beautifully kept, the location good (only around a 10 minute walk into town), the breakfast and the room were both fine. The reception staff were efficient and one in particular was extremely... More

If you wish to visit the genuine Costa Rica, this is the place to go. Close enough to town, amazing gardens and a really nice pool with great view to the volcano. The service at the hotel is great; you can feel they are happy to have you there...at the same time, there is no way to feel they are... More

We were visiting with a group of students, so we stayed here two nights and ate three meals a day here. I was very flexible while traveling in Costa Rica and did not expect a Hampton Inn experience! My two main complaints were the lack of any fresh fruit or vegetables over the course of six meals and zero, absolutely... More

Dear customer: As you yourself mentioned, you visited our hotel with a group of students. Such groups are handled with special packages which are entirely arranged by the travel agency. They are the ones who determnine the meal options, which always include a appetizer, main dish with 3 components, and fresh natural fruit juice. We try very hard to offer... More

We stayed here for a couple of nights and did enjoy our stay although the facilities are fairly basic and it is a 20 minute walk to the town centre and restaurants. The accommodation consists of separate cabins in a well maintained park. Ours contained twin beds, fridge, air conditioner, a cafetiere (coffee extra) and a safe (key extra) with... More

The big plus about this hotel is the grounds. I was woken at about 5.30 by a stunning dawn chorus and, bumping into others from my group, saw some magnificent bird life (plus the odd squirrel). We were there for the wildlife so this was ideal. Our room was good and spacious with a TV and fridge. The hot water... More

Hotel itself is o.k. People are friendly and breakfast is o.k. Hot water is simply not available. Water heating system is gas powered and standing outside against a wall. We asked twice to repair it and twice it was promised and twice nobody did anything. The road along the hotel is very noisy with a 24 hour traffic flow.
