Wonderful

The staff was very nice and helpful, and the breakfast was good. However, the rooms are very outdated and need some TLC ASAP! The area around the resort was not very nice.
This is a very simple and beautiful hotel. We stayed in one of the casitas/bungalows and it was just lovely. The room and bathroom were very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and staff were all warm and friendly. This is not a fancy hotel, but it was just perfect for us. Cute towel animals greeted us every day.
Very cute little place just 3 minutes outside of La Fortuna. The included breakfast was amazing each morning! The staff was very friendly and the rooms were comfortable and had AC

Eddie and Shirley provided wonderful customer service. The hotel was clean and waking dusts e to downtown. The attached restaurant was really good for breakfast and evening appetizers we really enjoyed it.
We booked family room, which was spacious, comfy big beds. The only small issue was with loose shower water tap. We especiall, enjoyed breakfasts and dinner in the garden and professional and nice staff.
Lovely property that is well maintained. The staff was exceptional. Rooms were clean and cool. We stayed in the casitas. Dining was delicious and had wonderful staff.
The location was close to a main road, so the traffic noise was noticeable. There was also a disco down the road that was popular and had exuberant music that one could hear. We appreciated not being in the heart of the town as there was little traffic congestion.
We would recommend the property to anyone who would enjoy a multi-cultural and authentic experience of Costa Rica. We sure did!
We spent 2 weeks here. The owners were so nice and so welcoming. They made our stay very comfortable.
The staff did a wonderful job cleaning the rooms. The housekeeping would make beautiful art with the towels when they cleaned the room. Every time was a different animal. So creative and talented. I took pictures of all of them.
The entire grounds are well kept and clean.
We enjoyed a nice breakfast every morning in the Bamboo restaurant. Which started serving dinner before we left. A delicious menu. Wonderful staff.
Great location. Walking distance into town.
We would definitely recommend a stay here.
the breakfast was really good and the staff was very nice. We stayed 3 nights and really enjoyed it.

This hotel is in a good location, and staff and service are great. But the hot water for shower had some issue, sometimes the shower water is pretty cold for some reason.
We needed to leave quite early in the morning on our way out and the breakfast staff was more than accommodating ! Front desk staff is also very welcoming and so happy to assist in anything! I would stay again for sure
We booked the room from Expedia, when we arrived we received a tiny match box room, we went back to the property manager and he upgraded the room to a bungalow room, had to add $150.00 more, breakfast was from 7:00 to 9:00, I arrived at 9:00 am they refused to provide us with a cup of coffee.
Beware of what you book before you book and before you arrive, it felt like a bait and switch, and the area is not the best!
This property is just on the outskirts of town so it is convenient but away from the noise of La Fortuna. All the people at the hotel were friendly, helpful and kind. The room was clean. The gardens are beautiful and we saw many birds, hummingbirds and flowers. We also enjoyed the pool.
The nicest people! So helpful! Every day house keeping would make the bathroom towels into the shape of different animals. It’s just the little things they did that made a big difference.
We stayed three nights. Immaculately clean. Free breakfast ordered from menu which was then freshly cooked not a buffet. Quiet part of town but just 2 minute drive to the town square. Unless you stay at an elite resort and pay five times the rate I venture to say you won’t find better.
