Clean room, helpful staff. Room a biyt outdated but nice and spacious with everything you need. Pool was excellent as were the grounds. We had dinner and breakfast in the restaurant. Nothing fancy but very tasty and well cooked, good value for money. 25 mins from airport (12km), easy drive just a little traffic to consider

This hotel is the perfect spot for your first day or last day in Costa Rica. The property was beautiful with lots of birds, and had a great pool and restaurant/bar. They offer shuttle service for a fee to the airport - we booked one at 4:45 a.m. The staff was so kind and helpful - one staff member let me use her personal cell phone when mine wouldn't work. I was also allowed to help her pluck a mango out of a tree with a long fruit picker - she then cut it up and offered it to us to enjoy! Thank you! Very relaxing stay.

My friends and I stayed in this hotel to explore the Central Valley and the location is perfect. The staff is friendly and helpful. We loved their breakfast options including fruit, scrambled eggs, fresh corn tortillas, rice and beans. We ate dinner there one night and it was very good. One of my friends had a beef dish and I just wanted a plate of vegetables, which was delicious. If you decide to stay here, consider bringing ear plugs as planes fly over the hotel occasionally throughout the night. We all thought the beds and pillows were too firm. Even with these issues, we would stay there again because of the amazing staff.

It is a beautiful, clean, modern boutique hotel. The staff was amazingly kind and the owner was very attentive to make sure everything was in order. The internet signal is not very good, so if you're counting on working during your holidays, I would take that into account. There is internet, it's just somewhat unstable. I loved the hotel, I wish I had had more time to enjoy, since I was there for only two nights.

The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. There are many trees on site which really increase the value of staying here (mango, avocado, star fruit!). The groundskeeper was very kind and picked us some fruit to try. It’s such a nice setting, and such a stark contrast from the nearby city. The property has two little streams on either side lined with shade trees and there was a lot of bird activity around. There is some construction going on and it seems that some new rooms are being built - and the workers start early to avoid the heat of the day, FYI. Overall very good, and we will stay there again

Nice little hotel with restaurant and pool

Very nice small place to stay for a night or two, nice room and comfy bed, good restaurant on site, beautiful gardens, very friendly owner and staff, made me feel very welcome. Only downside was a big mouldy stain on the ceiling of my room. Also I expected more quiet area, you can hear nearby traffic and planes landing, but overall very recommended.
