Liked: Staff & service
The kokoro landscaped grounds are beautiful. Its a small quiet resort not crowded that needs better up keep. You can tell it has seen better days. The hot springs and pools are better at the other area resorts. Buy a day pass to los Lagos resort nearby. Breakfast was fine. Rooms are large but need maintenance. TV never had a clear reception and had a few Spanish channels. Location was great for area activities. Easy access driving in and out of the property.

Great relaxing location with lots of wildlife

We had a wonderful stay. We loved the hot spring and all the wildlife on the hotel campus. The hotel owner and her family were so kind and helpful when our shuttle unexpectedly canceled on us, arranging for a ride to get us to San Jose.

Situated in beautiful natural surroundings, woke up one day by howler monkey cries, saw beautiful birds flew by room, watched a sloth moving down the tree while soaking in relaxing hot springs, relaxing massage while listening to nature sound was heavenly. Service was good, comfortable room. The only regret we have is getting sick after having dinner on site.
