Beautiful apartment with huge windows overlooking the backyard rain forest! The clean spaces (kitchen, two bathrooms, dining area, sitting area, walk-in closet, and bedroom area) let us relax after a busy day of hiking, kayaking, snorkeling, shopping, and eating delicious Costa Rican food. The breakfast choices were nice. The parking was close to the room. The pool looked inviting, but we chose to spend our time in the Pacific Ocean. The location is close to Quepos and close to Manuel Antonio National Park.

This was the best hotel we stayed in during our 3 weeks travelling around Costa Rica. The reception staff were amazing, so kind, informative and welcoming. The rooms are huge and spotless, the pool is also great - we saw lots of wildlife. They even have a courtesy shower & store your luggage after check out which was a big plus!

Pulling up to this hotel on the street you would never guess how lovely a property it is. The rooms are huge, the view from the lanai/porch in the room towards the back of the property is beautiful, and the staff, particularly the front desk staff, are extremely warm, welcoming and knowledgeable. We had a wonderful two night stay and would highly it recommend it to other travelers.
