Conscientious Hosts

Breakfast dining overlooks the back yard garden. Other guests said we missed seeing Toucans by a couple of minutes. When we returned from a morning excursion, the hosts saw us and pointed out another that had recently come.

There is no better place to visit PN V Tenório

The hotel is the best choice for exploring the PN Volcan Tenório! It’s 8 to 10min to reach the park, so you can walk there from the hotel. The reception from the hosts were great, providing all necessary information to explore the area. The breakfast was the best we had in Costa Rica. The room was super comfortable and with all we needed to rest. They even helped us with our rental car contacting the car company for us with their phone, explaining the problem (battery dead) and providing the location details for the repair. Super recommend this place in Costa Rica!

Saubere und gepflegte Unterkunft

Absolut saubere und gepflegte Unterkunft. Die Gastgeberin ist sehr bemüht, freundlich und zaubert ein sehr leckeres und reichhaltiges Frühstück. Wir durften unser Zimmer auch schon vor der offiziellen Check-in Zeit beziehen und durften unseren Mietwagen auch noch nach unserem Check-out direkt vor der Unterkunft parken. Den Nationalpark Rio Celeste erreicht man fußläufig in ca. 10 Minuten; eine kostenlose Badestelle im Rio Celeste, direkt neben einer Brücke, in ca. 20 Minuten (man läuft durchweg entlang der Hauptverkehrsstraße).

We only stayed one night to go to Rio Celeste Waterfall. It is walking distance 8 min from the Cabinas. We didn't have to pay for parking!! Marjory was very helpful when asked what else can we do in the area. We emailed back and forth before our trip. Marjory set us up with Henry as a night tour. We saw a Tapir!!! Not too many people get to see a Tapir in its natural surroundings. I would highly recommend to stay here while visiting the Rio Celeste and then go on the night tour with Henry. Marjory can help with that. While on our hike to the waterfall, Marjory even did our laundry. So thankful!!! We saw a toucan in their backyard and humming birds.

Budget overnatning

En enkelt overnatning på vejen mellem La Fortuna og Monteverde. Spændende område og lille hyggeligt hotel. Værten kan ikke engelsk men er god til at bruge oversætter via mobil tlf. Værelset svarede til prisen.

This property has a lot of pros. - close to park entrance, very clean, friendly manager, good breakfast, good AC and very cheap. The cons are that the room doors face the highway and the rooms are small. Good base for a night or two.

Very friendly owner of the place. She didn't speak English, but we were able to communicate nevertheless. Breakfast was good. On the day of check out we had to leave very early, she was so kind to cut us some fruits for take out the night before. The hotel is very close to the entrance of the national park.

No AC but it stayed cool with the fan. It was luke warm water but it worked. The breakfast was amazing and this was located near everything we wanted to see wish we'd stayed here more. The view was breath taking. Small room but we were off hiking and doing tours all day so we didnt need a large room.
