Joel at the front desk was very friendly and amazing. Although we stayed only for one night, the hospitality we received was great. The breakfast was served on the table with plenty of items. Joel offered plenty of advice for visiting the national park, the general safety tips, etc.
The views were breathtaking, wish we stayed longer.

Beautiful property with amazing views and nice walking trails. No A/C, so it was a little toasty until the sun went down but it was cool enough at night that it was okay.

A Costa Rican perfection
This hotel was perfect for many reasons. The cuisine was exceptional and artistically presented. The service was impeccable. Best of all were the gardens resplendent with a wide variety of flora, birds and butterflies.
