Our room was lovely, with murals painted on the wall and ceiling. It was very quiet. We had a private balcony with a wonderful lake view. There were birds everywhere ... tanagers, aracaris, oropendulas, jays, robins, euphonias, etc. Breakfast was served outside on the covered terrace overlooking the lake, and each day featured a different creation by Chef Eyal. The restaurant was awesome for dinner as well, we enjoyed escargots, mussels, caesar salad and ribs among many other delicious dishes. We highly recommend this B&B. ##### Jahnick ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara Nov 19, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great hotel, amazing food.

Eyal and the whole (tiny) gingerbread hotel and restaurant was a highlight of our stay in Costa Rica. Eyal is truly a man with a genius for cooking—basically, imagine if Anthony Bourdain operated a restaurant and bed and breakfast, i.e., this isn’t the kind of place you ask for “more or less spicey”, you get what you get and what you get is amazing. Both dinners we had there (with my wife and kids) were arguably the best meals i have ever experienced. And eating and staying here is truly an experience—the birds, the howler monkeys, and Eyal himself, all come together to make this certainly the most unique place we’ve ever stayed. we were assigned the wine cellar room (?casita) which defies description in this format, but trust me it’s unique, comfortable and memorable, every touch is custom. if you don’t awaken spontaneously to the sound of howler monkeys and copious copious birds, set your alarm for 5:30 am, it’s worth it. ##### Charles ### 8/10 Good #### Laurie Apr 6, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Creative place Really enjoyed the property, our bungalow, and the food prepared from the chef.
