The owners were very nice. It’s not a 5 star place, but the staff was so nice that it felt like it.

Relaxing Getaway
This was a quiet getaway for us and we were satisfied. Great view and a terrific staff. There isn’t much sound insulation and we had a few maintenance issues that were fixed immediately. WiFi worked best near office (units 1-3) and lesser for ours (7-10). Worst part was waiting for the breakfast at 8am (too late for us). Same meal each day. It is cool there. We enjoyed it overall. We loved exploring the area (waterfalls all over). Helped us book tours too!

Can’t really decide between 1 star and 5 stars...so weird. On one hand, the room Almost filthy with bugs and roaches in the room (yes I get it- tropicals and open windows means bugs), no coffee machine (

View is amazing
The view is amazing and incomparable. Yes there is a restaurant but it is about half mile from the hotel. The food and service were very good though. We could not get the instant electric hot water shower to work. The drive from Sarchi was very steep and curvy but great views.

The hotel itself was nice, the staff very friendly and helpful, and the views were gorgeous. However, the location on Expedia is a bit off, it's about 2km further south, at 10°09'53.5"N, 84°18'59.8"W. The road where Expedia shows the hotel is actually currently closed. While 2km might not sound like much, it's 2km of mountain road that's not in the best condition (the same road leads to Bajos del Toro). Also, you may see signs that route 708 is closed, but it is not, and much nicer to drive on than the alternative route.

A little rustic but beautiful views
The owner was very hospitable. Not so good at English but put a lot of effort into making sure we understood what he was saying. View was gorgeous (somewhat cloudy up high). The room itself was interesting. Floors were thin so the cold air from the wind went thru them..metal roof was also super noisy at night, but maybe just bad weather. No hot water. No wifi in room. Restaurant was great. Our host there spoke much better English and the view there was great as well.
