We enjoyed the grounds and restaurant very much! Good food and lots of birds in the morning. Dinner was one of the best meals we had in Costa Rica! Staff was great and handed us umbrellas when we drove in during a downpour. Close to airport as well.

What a beautiful little gem in the middle of the city. The rooms were very clean and spacious, and the beds were incredible. The pool was also gorgeous. We ate at the onsite restaurant, and the service was spectacular. The food was good but not the best I've had. Shampoo, etc. in the shower would have been a plus but that is the only drawback for me! Great place and a great price.

From the front gate guard to the front desk and restaurant staff- everyone was super kind and helpful! The Villa property is absolutely gorgeous. The trail through the forest was beautiful and you’re able to see all kinds of birds. The restaurant had great food. Would 10/10 recommend staying here!
