Katira

10/10 Excellent

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...

Desamparados

10/10 Excellent

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.

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!

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...

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.

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...
