Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Private, Bungalow type setting. The room was well equipped, with internet, air conditioning, plenty of excellent coffee on hand. Morning times were what my wife and I really enjoyed. A fantastic breakfast complete with plenty of excellent chilled, fresh fruit, and excellent company with the owner and his family. Monkey’s, Turkeys, Toucans, and a friendly little Hummingbird that would appear every morning, buzzing around close by as she enjoyed breakfast with us! Needless to say, we plan on returning next March. Fantastic experience.

The staff was very helpful and attentive. They gave us a booklet full of available tours in our area, and even helped book them for us. The breakfast they provide was also phenomenal. By far the best casado we’ve had in all of Costa Rica. There were toucans by the dining area as well, and the river right beside us made it even more pleasant. Things are available walking distance, but it’s probably best if you have transportation to get around. We would definitely be staying here again.
