Es un lugar agradable para descansar y tienen una vista espectacular, retirado de la ciudad pero facil de llegar, la via a la propiedad esta en perfectas condiciones, el internet es rapido, tienen dos parqueos en la propiedad. El estado de los baños, principalmente la ducha en general no esta en buen estado y no se ve agradable, el restaurante para cenas y almuerzos no tiene casi opciones, por ejemplo no venden ningun tipo de pasta, el precio es elevado en algunos platos y las porciones o los acompanamientos no van acorde.

Nice place amazing views and good service. Lots of bugs but it was the season and it is Costa Rica , too much spray. But overall great place not my first time and sure it won’t be my last. The owner and staff are all very nice and friendly and accommodating. A 9 out of 10 definitely.

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy

Dated

The premises are outdated . They were also in terrible condition. The bathroom had many stains and filth in all the corners . There had been a fire in the area . The place smelt of smoke . The floor was coated with ash . Definitely a place to stay away . Absolutely no one cared . Seems it’s for sale . So squeezing out every dollar .

Muy buena opción para descansar y salir de la ciudad. Nos gustó la vista panorámica, el clima y las instalaciones. La habitación estuvo bien, la cama super cómoda, sin embargo (sobre todo los baños), requieren de mayor mantenimiento. Sería bueno además una mesa de anoche a ambos lados de la cama (solo habia una). El restaurante si bien no era barato, me sorprendió por la calidad de la comida, las porciones fueron generosas y el personal muy amable. Por lo que si fue una buena experiencia en general.

The hotel is located at the top of a mountain providing spectacular views. The room was very clean and had a roof-top sitting areas to watch the sunset. A nice pool and Chef Jacques for the onsite restaurant rounded out a perfect getaway spot. The hotel staff and wait staff in the restaurant were fabulous.

Wonderful Costa Rican small luxury resort! (But a luxury CR resort is different than an North American name.brand luxury resort) Excellent location in the Atenas area with spectacular views and rooms with 360 private rooftop decks! Excellent and friendly staff with full service bar and restaurant on site - having traveled all mover the world this is one of my favorite places!

Okay stay

The hotel has breath taking views. The bed was super comfy and everything was clean except the bathroom wall behind the door. The rooftop patio was missing a few pieces of board and some of them weren't sturdy. During check in, we were also made aware that the pool and restaurant were closing early due to an event the next day. This should have been advised on before booking.

The views are stunning, however the hotel lacks attention to cleanliness (dirty spots on bathroom walls) and maintenance (wholes on terrace floor and missing roof ), and options for breakfast are missing as they only have one dish available, . Staff was super friendly and the pool was great!
