"Filip and Petra were great hosts, flowers, fruit and good wine were waiting for us. I was traveling alone with two 12 year old children, they loved the giant trampoline, being awakened by the toucans, visiting the Coati at noon and falling asleep with the croaking of frogs and dives in the pool of course. There are some details to improve but the house is sublime (the most beautiful photos for my Instagram 😉) Maria the maid came every day even on Sunday and she did a very good job. We has a...

Stayed 5 nights and had an amazing experience staying in nature. The couple greeting us upon arrival did not speak English and we had to figure out some things in the room on our own. Bed was comfy and it was surprisingly fine without air conditioning. Towels were very soft. The bedside table had lots of plugs for charging multiple devices. Wifi was great. The rain, fan, birds and bugs are noisy but in a peaceful way.
We did not love having to go outside to use the bathroom or access water. A...

This is my first hostel stay (I always thought the worst for these places). I absolutely loved it here. The staff were so kind and welcoming. I had a private bed with a clean bathroom. They had a wonderful vegetarian breakfast and coffee. A beautiful relaxing patio ou back.
I highly recommend this place. I'm very impressed!
Thank you for everything guys and I will recommend this place to anyone!

Excellent service in this family-run bed and breakfast. After a long and late flight, the airport pick up was appreciated and to wake up with a beautiful view of a tropical garden and forest area was so much nicer than waking next to a highway at a typical airport hotel. We arranged for our rental car to be delivered to the property, so we were able to avoid the congested traffic of San Jose. Lovely continental breakfast with croissants and coffee.

We had a very nice stay at this hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and nicely appointed, and the hotel itself was well maintained. The location was excellent—close to everything, with restaurants, shops, and attractions all within easy walking distance.
The breakfast was also very good, with a nice variety of options to start the day. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable place in a convenient location.

If I could give this hotel six stars, I would! They truly think of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible, from insect repellent and a clothesline in the room, to a small eating area outside the cabin.
The staff are so friendly and helpful! They made great recommendations and booked tours for us. The grounds are phenomenal! The hot springs is beautiful and farm is extensive, with a wide variety of animals and a huge vegetable garden. My kids were very interested in...

Great private compound w 25 rooms, lovely grounds, big rooms, pool, and good restaurant. Within 30 minutes of SJO. We used for our last night in CR to reduce travel stress. Would also be a great SJ starting point or even business hotel.

Great location as it is right on the beach but at one end of it so it’s a little quieter. Having said that you can still easily walk into the main area of the town to enjoy restaurant’s and the night life.

Vicky waited up for us to arrive late at night when our flight was delayed. She gave us a main floor room so we wouldn’t have to take the luggage upstairs. The breakfast was outstanding.

We stayed in a regular room for the first 2 nights, very clean but lighting in the room could have been better and the bed was a little hard. The view was amazing from the balcony. We switched to a condo for the last 5 nights. AMAZING. Huge bedroom - king bed (very comfortable), walk-in closet, living room, dining area, full-kitchen and a huge balcony. The staff was so helpful, we loved the huge plate of fresh fruit and toast for the continental breakfast (included with the room). They are...
