The kitchen area is great and always very clean. The husband of the couple that runs the hotel was very kind and helpful. They provided a book with ideas for excursions and the husband was always happy to talk with us about potential plans. Unfortunately his wife was often loudly yelling for him throughout the day. Upon arrival, she told me I was being difficult when I wanted to pull up my car to bring my luggage in, and insisted there was no parking inside the gate and then let 2 other cars park inside afterward. Not sure what was going on, but we definitely didn’t feel welcomed by her in the least.

The owners were absolutely helpful and friendly in every way. They served us fresh mango from their own trees when we arrived and served fruit and coffee every morning. Their dogs are lovely and well behaved, quiet. There was noise from the surrounding neighbors (dogs and chickens) and very loud guests next door the first night, though they finally quieted down by 9pm. There is no AC so it is very hot in the daytimes and early evenings in the cabins. It is difficult to drive or walk down the road to downtown. Overall a nice stay with lovely people.

A great place to stay!
A great place to stay if you are looking for a laid back, rustic location with for cute wooden cabins with all the facilities you would expect for a great stay! The host, Jorge, is very friendly and communicative and also helps suggest places to visit and to eat at.

Its about a four minute drive from downtown Quepos, maybe 1.5 kilometers away, but its worth the walk or drive. The family who runs this place are so kind and full of information to make your time in Manuel Antonio/Quepos enjoyable. We stayed in one of the tree houses (mini Houses) and absolutely loved it. My 10 year old son wanted to stay there for more time, but we had to go back home. The room was very clean, and comfortable bedding. They had hammocks to lay in, hammock chairs to rest in, tables to eat at, a kitchen to cook in, and we always looked forward to our conversations with the owners, who spoke both English and Spanish. They had chickens, parrots, dogs, and cats there, which made it feel like being on a small farm, and we loved it. I would highly recommend this place. and will definitely be staying here again the next time I'm in CR. My sonm said he felt like we were leaving family when we had to depart.

Great stay!
Very friendly owners - gave great recommendations and always available to chat. Tea and coffee and fruit for a free breakfast. Very clean and nicely presented rooms. The drive to Quepos is very short and you can find lots of good restaurants there. Safe and quiet area of the town. They have lots of cute and friendly dogs. If you drive there they have gated and convenient parking Good wifi

Wonderful hospitality and great local environment! We stayed in the room on the second floor with 2 beds (enough for 3 people) and had birds and even a non-poisonous snake outside our window! Jorge was the best host, always there with help or advice when you wanted, but definitely gave you your own space. The communal kitchen area was well kept and cleaned, and had everything we needed to make breakfast and snacks. The hammock and sitting areas were great in the morning and evening (during the afternoon the outdoors areas got a bit warm to relax).
