"First I would like to say the customer service and communication was great at Rancho de Lelo. They did a great job suggesting activities around the area. The breakfast was delicious and property was beautiful. My kids loved spending time with the dogs. The view from the room was beautiful and calming. The negative is there was heavy rainfall while we were visiting and as a result the room felt very wet due to poor window and door insulation and condensation. All our items in the room felt damp....

"Great hotel to stay at when first arriving in Costa Rica. They have a 24/7 airport shuttle which works great when arriving on a late flight. The rooms are comfortable and have blackout curtains to block that early morning sun! They also have a very nice breakfast offering with helpful staff. The hotel in walking distance to some of the car rentals. We used Economy and they were most helpful. Overall this is a great spot to start and end your trip to Costa Rica!"
