My husband and I stayed here briefly before traveling to La Fortuna and the property was beautiful. We felt very safe and the breakfast was honestly one of the best we had in our entire stay in Costa Rica. Super simple but fresh. Highly recommend!

A little piece of luxury - for great value

We stayed for our last night before heading to the airport and it was a lovely piece of luxury to end the holiday. Great size room, quiet, excellent water pressure and temperature (not a given in Costa Rica from our experience!) Breakfast was great - lots of options to order. Pool was clean and lots of loungers. We stayed for a while after checkout and walked the short trails in the grounds, plus had a delicious lunch at the restaurant. Then to top it off, less than £10 for an Uber to the airport (took 20 mins or so at 3pm). Highly recommend for a night or two.

Great place for the price.

Great place, good price. Close enough to airport, $10 Uber ride. A street on side of property creates a bit of truck noise for upper rooms. Pool looked sweet and the breakfast was good. Best part was staff, good job management!

Beautiful property in a gorgeous setting. However, it sits by a very loud road and the traffic noise is terrible. Other than that, the property is wonderful.

For our last night in Costa Rica this did the trick. We would not stay anymore than one night a there is NO TV, It's an older property and it showed, there was hot water when I took a shower, but when my husband went in, it was cold. It's noisy being next to the main the road. There is nothing really to do around it and no ice available. There were HUGE spiders everywhere outside. However, the people were very nice and I felt very safe with the guard there all the time. We didn't really eat dinner or breakfast as we wanted something different, but the menu was fair and so was the price for the room. My husband did not mind saving $100 for the night by Not going to a big name hotel and staying there.
