Keeping in mind this is rural Costa Rica the whole experience was very good. The senior property manager was exceptional and food was great. Only draw back it is a bit out of town. But their food is better.

We enjoyed the hotel, and that it’s family run. Attentive staff very friendly and helpful. A little sketchy getting in and out off the main road because of the low riding Toyota Yaris we rented and had to be careful driving up to the paved road to town. Beautiful grounds lots of flowers and landscapes room was pretty good size and breakfast was always tasty with great coffee. Nearby beach was quiet and sandy. Great location

Lots of nature

Wonderful place to stay. Just be aware there are neighborhood roosters that are very vocal all day and very early in the morning. Ear plugs are the way to stay at this place. Staff is very friendly and the room was very comfortable and large. A short walk down an alley to the beach. Enjoyed my stay and would go back.

Yes, The room was clean. There was a refrigerator, small one and a nice working air conditioning unit with a fan overhead. I read other reviews about roosters crowing near this hotel. And I thought well roosters get up and start crawling about 5:00 6:00 a.m. and I'm going to be out of the room by that time so I don't care. Wrong! The roosters started crowing at 11:00 p.m. and didn't stop all day and night. I don't know what they can do about it because as you may or may not know, Costa Ricans are kind of loose about approaching people about touchy subjects. So be prepared is all I'm saying. Maybe bring some earmuffs? It's a value and it's a good value. The breakfast was excellent. The food was very, very good and you can choose from a menu which means you, you have yours. Your choice of a vegan or going typical tico. Also, the fruits and vegetables are really nice and added feature.

Very small room with air conditioning and a rusty fridge. We paid $50 US for two virgin pina coladas and 6 little bottles of soda! We will never return to this hotel since the road that leads from the hotel to the beach is very uncomfortable and dirty in a run down neighbourhood, locals burning garbage on the street and urinating there. Staff were friendly and great. You couldn't enjoy the beach since you had to walk by that neighbourhood.
