I prayed while driving up that my car wouldnt roll back. Besides that if you are looking to be fully unplugged then this is for you. My room had no tv or refrigerator. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. The overall setting is a little dated but okay. The restaurant has decent food however the free breakfast begins at 8am which seemed late to me. Alot of insects. You truly hear nature in the morning as well. The view over looking the valley is absolutely priceless. ##### Nat Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Nicolas III Aug 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Quite a scary drive, we decided to uber for dinner instead of driving as the road up is narrow. It is a beautiful property with a beautiful pool. We stayed at Manzana de Agua, and it was beautifully decorated. A dog barked and barked from 0330 to 0430 AM and again around 0700, echoing into the room. I brought it up to the front desk lady and she said there are no dogs on the property. I recorded how loud it was, and the recording definitely showed that the dog was near the room and it echoed around. ![Library](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9992de5f-fe97-4a3e-ad37-16fea9bad1a4-1755802155194.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![“Dark room” lol](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8417ffe7-ff5b-4291-9c05-671b4e2c2c8b-1755802150906.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Pool](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/26185fa8-2c25-4b4b-afb9-8a8d0542f3ae-1755802156137.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View from the pool](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a0184f94-1281-4d71-9482-b01ad108629f-1755802138611.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Nicolas III Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebecca Jan 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful and quiet ##### Rebecca Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### David May 27, 2025 Liked: Staff & service The place was very clean but, aged.

The general atmosphere and ambiance is warm and welcoming with nature blooming in every direction. Check in was simple and the receptionist was courteous enough to show me the grounds. The panoramic room was amazing! Everything you need, from dining to adventures & trails, are right on the grounds. Overall it was a great stay and i’m certain i’ll stay again during my next visit to the country! ##### DEREK Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael Jan 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The only reason I’m giving a 4 star is because they charged 10$ to use a bath room put in your room.

It's a 10 minute drive to Santa Ana but nestled in the mountains below a coffee farm. It's super quiet, peaceful, and beautifully decorated. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The price is right and could not have asked for a better stay! It would be 10 stars if that was an option : ) ##### John Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yuberki Nov 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The property is very unique. We had a room facing the city and is a breathtaking view. The weather is perfect up there : chilly enough to sleep at night and warm enough to enjoy the pool during the day.

You’re completely surrounded by lush plants and trees and just submerged in nature. The rooms are so cute, comfortable and have an open nature feel. I stayed in the mango, luxury room which is perfect for a couple or solo traveler. They have breakfast and dinner available on site to order. During the day you obviously have to go off site to hydrate and eat. Housekeeping was nice to keep your room nice and tidy. The staff was nice and patient if you do not speak the language. I would highly recommend staying here. ##### Qituwrah Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Agnes Feb 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Stepping Back The hotel had a feeling of stepping back into time… Coffee plantation .

The staff is barely present to help with inquiries. The pool and the fountain were very dirty I couldn’t even get in. The bathtub was also dirty, I had to clean it myself. Barely switched out towels. Only good thing was the breakfast and the dinner, as well as the staff who worked at the restaurants provided. Also, nothing is refundable, even if you try to leave before your checkout date so make sure you book accordingly. ##### Kevonna Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Faramarz Feb 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The atmosphere and the vibe of the area was beautiful and stunning.

Set in the rainforest above a coffee plantation and decorated with unique vintage furniture, this hotel exudes a rustic luxury that gives one the feel of what it must have been like to live in the plantation owner’s house at the turn of the 20th century. The staff were super friendly and helpful. I loved the coffee tour and the claw footed tub with the view out of the round window! The view down to San Jose at night was also spectacular. ##### Hillary Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine Apr 9, 2024 I loved the pool and the yoga platform above it with the Buddha ! Very peaceful and lots if attention to details that made it beautiful! Lots of love went into the place. Loved the hiking in the coffee plantation on the mantra trail and even the hike up and down the hill to La burra restaurant. Tho you can get a little shuttle down and up. Staff super friendly and welcoming. ##### Catherine Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Winnie Feb 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I would stay at Don Ernesto again for vacation next time.

Over all our experience is great! ##### Winnie Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### ted Aug 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We stayed in Atico suite.

Quiet, beautiful location close to San Jose. The room we stayed in was grand with beautiful antique furniture and large windows overlooking the spacious grounds and city below. Internet was great! Breakfast was served on a gorgeous patio, was delicious with wonderful coffee served by excellent, friendly staff. Exceeded our expectations. There was one big miss for me. There were no fans and the wondows had no screens. Therefore, we had no way to move the air. The bed was comfortable, but I was hot, so I did not sleep well. We dis request a fan, but there were none to be had. I strongly recommend this hotel gets a few fans for the guests like us, who really need them. ##### Dawn Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Luis May 7, 2023 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service Staff was unprofessional, a 300$ room per night deserves better service at check-in and in addition room keys are HEADIOUS wood plank with an old metalic key! ##### Luis Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Bryan Jan 21, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is not a “luxury” hotel as they claim all it has going for it is a beautiful view, but this is barely better than camping out on a mountain top. The pool is not swimmable because of how cold it is, not single person swam during our stay. The rooms are dirty and don’t have real windows or AC. The shower has a tiny little head that pours out lukewarm warm. Every amenity besides breakfast the hotel offers is charged for, $2/bottle of water (the staff laughed about it because they know it’s overpriced as they were telling me about it), $10/robe, $15/person to hike the trail they boldly brag about on their signs and pictures. There’s nothing really around the area to do so you might as well just book something a little further away. If you have an early flight you have to communicate it with them the day before so you can actually be let out of the gate. The day before we woke up at 4am to head to Manuel Antonio and one of the workers blocked us in with his car(they later blamed it on a nonexistent “guest”) and no one was at reception or the gate to even let us out. ##### Bryan Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gabriela Oct 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Breakfast is amazing !!! And the staff and security are so helpful and wonderful!! Very knowledged on the property as well, just make sure you have bug repellent before going to your room, a lot of insects but with the repellent it wasn’t bad. Also no tvs no microwave and no fan or AC just be mindful about this. It is the ultimate getaway for sure for peace and quiet. But the bar el gato on the property is soooo cute and the drinks are delicious, see Yahaira the bartender she was so great!!! Also Daniela and Gabriela from reception are so knowledgeable and sweet! They really cater to you , Alvaro the security guard made sure we were super safe. Overall 5 stars ! ##### Gabriela Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brianna Danielle Aug 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our stay at Hotel Don Ernesto was truly peaceful and enjoyable. The property is such a hidden oasis and offers a beautiful, calm atmosphere. The staff was warm and accommodating, in addition to the servers at nearby restaurants. We were happy to find the perfect balance of nature and city life by staying at this hotel. It’s such a gem and we would definitely return. ##### Brianna Danielle Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Costa Rica Marriott Hotel Hacienda Belen](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Costa-Rica-Marriott-Hotel-Hacienda-Belen.h54705.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Bowen Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Bowen-Island-Bed-And-Breakfast.d6155860-aaBedAndBreakfast.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Fairfield by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Fairfield-By-Marriott-San-Jose-Airport-Alajuela.h83583723.Hotel-Information) > > [Cottages Bala](https://www.expedia.ca/Bala-Cottages.d6352608-aaCottages.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Radisson San Jose-Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Radisson-San-Jose-Costa-Rica.h48087.Hotel-Information) > > [Glenerin Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Glenerin-Inn.h10136.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Happy Valley - Goose Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Happy-Valley-Goose-Bay-Hotels.d57836.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Iberostar Waves Bahia - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Salvador-Hotels-Iberostar-Waves-Bahia-All-Inclusive.h1721960.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Zeppelin San Francisco](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Zeppelin-San-Francisco.h5875.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Southampton Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Southampton-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Southampton-Centre.h6174943.Hotel-Information) > > [Rainbow Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntsville-Hotels-Rainbow-Inn.h5388025.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Ithaca](https://www.expedia.ca/Ithaca-Hotels.d6056124.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Santa Ana San Jose](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Santa-Ana-San-Jose.h38713578.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City– A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Atlantic-City-Hotels-Harrahs-Resort-Atlantic-City.h118554.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-San-Jose-Airport-Alajuela.h5243956.Hotel-Information) > > [Aloft San Jose Hotel, Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Aloft-San-Jose-Hotel.h4852451.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Lima (LIM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/lim/toronto-to-lima) > > [flights from robert l bradshaw intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/skb/flights-from-robert-l-bradshaw-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yyz/edmonton-to-toronto) > > [flights from john c munro hamilton intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/yhm/flights-from-john-c-munro-hamilton-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Sidney (YYJ) to Chek Lap Kok (HKG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyj/hkg/victoria-to-hong-kong) > > [Flights from Ahmedabad (AMD) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/amd/yyz/ahmedabad-to-toronto) ### Cars > [Budget Car Rentals In Owen Sound](https://www.expedia.ca/Budget-Car-Rentals-In-Owen-Sound.d6057875-c39.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Activities > [Things to do in Fort Myers Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Fort-Myers-Beach.d7194.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Detroit](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Detroit.d178255.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Royal BC Museum](https://www.expedia.ca/Royal-BC-Museum-Inner-Harbour.d6072301.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Thailand](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/178/Thailand)
