Very nice staff. Helpful in arranging activities and transportation. The restaurant and bar were n very nice too. Walk to downtown Santa Elena is not far but the walk back to the hotel is a pretty steep climb!

Great relationship quality-price. Don Taco is very well located, near the downtown but in a quieter area. The room was not big but the bathroom was comfortable. The breakfast was well served and the staff very kind.

great hotel, even better hostesses

The rooms were small but quite sufficient, cost was very reasonable, and the beds were comfortable. There was a good hot prepared breakfast with choice of 3-4 options and fresh juice. The receptionists Wanda and Zadieka were absolutely fabulous and incredibly helpful - do not let these young ladies leave your establishment, they are so hospitable, intelligent, knowledgable of the area and out-of-this-world helpful!!!

Just a quick walk from Santa Elena proper. Parking was a challenge, having 3 separate parking locations (and the very steep uphill didn't help, but no fault of the property). Great service, but the transport for the tour I booked never arrived.

Monteverde is a must!

Great property and location! Breakfast was one of the best we had while in Costa Rica. No A/C, so we would have appreciated a ceiling fan!
