Tranquil place of rest

Flowers and tranquility! We got in late from the airport and found everything perfect. There was a security guard on site who let us in and we found our room without any problem. There is a friendly cat and a wonderful delicious breakfast as well as delicious food if you choose to have dinner or lunch at the hotel. I will definitely be returning next time. I’m in Costa Rica.

The place is gorgeous and well kept. The staff are quite helpful and always kind. The breakfasts are free and very delicious with protein options. I was surprised and delighted with the cups of peanut butter. Eggs, rice and banana cake are staples. The coffee is always good and some days exceptional with fresh milk as an option. You will find that the coffee in Costa Rica is never bad like it can be other places. The housekeeper Ana was super kind and helpful, very personable. The room had fresh flowers and/or herbs, a delight. The rooms are simple but aesthetically thoughtful. I took a dip in the pool at night and it was refreshing, though cold. The grounds are exceptionally well designed and beautiful and there are many places to sit and enjoy the gardens, listen to the birds, and there is a resident cat, friendly but keeps to himself. It's a rural area, yet there are several yummy restaurants nearby and a bar. The only difficulty was getting around. It's about a 15-20 minute Uber ride to the airport. There are public buses but I didn't have time to learn the system. Driving around San José is pretty chaotic. I was glad I didn't rent a car. Next time, I would stay a night, take a bus to another part of the country, rent a car and explore from there, bus back to Alejuela, stay and return home. There is a pharmacy and a mini Mart within walking distance, as well as, the many restaurants. The walks and strolls were lovely. It is a safe quiet neighborhood. The hotel is gated.

Nice for a quick stay

Great place. We stayed for 1 night, quiet and clean. Breakfast is traditional eggs rice/beans and fruit. Great fir a quick snack. The water in the shower varies between hit and cold but you need to either take it early in morning or later at night . We did have ants appear but we took care of it. All and all nice cozy place for a family of 5.
