Booked through Expedia and property was closed. Closes at 9pm and didn't answer their phone between 830-9pm. Charged for a room that we couldn't use. Zero communication from this place. They don't care and Expedia doesn't care.

No shower, good view

Bed was comfortable, view was great, but stay was unpleasant overall. For the considerable price, no help with luggage. Remote location on dirt road. Mosquitos in room. Loud groaning air conditioner. Weak breakfast of fruit, bottled juice, unseasoned eggs and plain toast woth no butter or jam. They could not break a $100 bill. Worst, we got no shower but a trickle of cold water. No apology or compensation. Don't come here.

Notre sĂ©jour Ă  Hotel Alma de Ojochal a Ă©tĂ© absolument magique. DĂšs notre arrivĂ©e, Ana, la responsable, nous a accueillis avec une grande gentillesse et beaucoup de professionnalisme. Elle est attentionnĂ©e, disponible et veille Ă  chaque dĂ©tail pour que l’expĂ©rience soit parfaite. L’hĂŽtel est petit, intimiste et plein de charme. On s’y sent privilĂ©giĂ©, presque comme dans un refuge exclusif au cƓur de la nature. La vue est tout simplement Ă  couper le souffle
 et les couchers de soleil sont parmi les plus beaux que nous ayons vus. Un moment suspendu chaque soir. Mention spĂ©ciale au chef : la cuisine est excellente, raffinĂ©e et savoureuse. Chaque repas est une expĂ©rience en soi. Le personnel est adorable, toujours souriant et attentionnĂ©. À noter : l’accĂšs nĂ©cessite absolument un 4x4, la route est escarpĂ©e — mais une fois en haut, la rĂ©compense est grandiose. Nous recommandons sans hĂ©sitation. Un endroit exceptionnel pour se ressourcer et vivre un moment unique au Costa Rica.

Absolut empfehlenswert! Wir haben zwei Tage hier verbracht und wurden ĂŒberaus herzlich empfangen. Auch bei der Buchung von AusflĂŒgen etc. wurde uns sehr geholfen. Das Hotel bietet einen atemberaubenden Blick auf den Sonnenuntergang. Gleich am Anreisetag wurden wir von einem Tukan und Affen in den BĂ€umen begrĂŒĂŸt. Das Essen ist ebenfalls fantastisch. Der Koch bereitet alle Gerichte mit so viel Liebe und Hingabe zu. Es war mit das beste Essen und Hotel, das wir in Costa Rica hatten. Ich komme auf jeden Fall wieder!

Nette kleine Unterkunft mit einigen Schönheitsfehlern. Wir waren die einzigen GĂ€ste, was sehr angenehm war. Großes Zimmer, in dem gerne in den Ecken etwas besser hĂ€tte geputzt werden können. Die tote Motte, die bei unserer Ankunft auf dem Boden lag, wurde erst am 3. Tag weg geputzt. Die GlĂ€ser und Tassen habe ich nach 3 Tagen zum SpĂŒlen ins Restaurant gebracht. Ich hatte erwartet, dass sie bei der Zimmerreinigung ausgetauscht werden. Das Zimmer war groß genug, dass 2 Kofferablagen Platz gefunden hĂ€tten und die Koffer hĂ€tten nicht auf dem Boden liegen mĂŒssen. Schöner Pool, einige Liegen sind kaputt (war uns egal, da ausser uns niemand da war) Kleine FrĂŒhstĂŒcksauswahl. Unsere SonderwĂŒnsche wurden erfĂŒllt, was toll war! Beim Personal war von etwas unfreundlich bis total freundlich alles dabei....

Vale por el esfuerzo de la gerente.

El hotel es para estar tranquilo y relajado, la estadĂ­a fue buena y el servicio que Yuli la gerente intenta dar es muy bueno, aunque el personal no ayuda mucho. Lo terrible fue la comida, el desayuno estaba incluido, pero como el hotel tiene un servicio de compra de los desayunos con el restaurante de las instalaciones, no hay buen servicio. Por lo malo de las comidas, no pudimos comer allĂ­ y salimos fuera. Las habitaciones tienen una puerta de vidrio por donde entra la luz muy temprano, no hay problema si te quieres ir de paseo, pero cuesta quedarse a dormir tarde. El lugar es muy bonito.

Bonito, simple y muy tranquilo

Bonito Hotel. Pequeño, simple y muy tranquilo. Alejado de la calle principal para descansar que es su atractivo principal. Su personal aunque es escaso para sus 5 habitaciones se esfuerza por llenar tus expectativas. Si no tienes automóvil 4x4 mejor ir en verano, porque la calle de acceso como todas en la zona, es bastante irregular pero despacio se puede ir sin problema, Su pequeño restaurante no abre todos los días, pero July y su personal siempre te darån recomendaciones muy buenas. En la noche las luces de la entrada del hotel las apagan a las 10 pm, pero no tienes problema en entrar si usas tu teléfono o alguna linterna para poder ingresar. Muy limpio, el desayuno agradable, buen Internet, linda piscina y una vista espectacular. Gente atenta y amable. En general, nos gustó mucho nuestra estadía, volveríamos a descansar y gozar de la tranquilidad de la zona y de un hotel pequeñito y muy quieto.
