    Philippe was a great host and very helpful, his son Noah was lovely too! We enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to go back. There is private gated parking which is good for peace of mind also.

    There was no shampoo or conditioner in the bathroom. It’s not super quiet either.

    Philippe and his son were the highlights of the stay. It felt like staying in their home, and they were so kind to us.

    Really cordial hospitality from Philippe and his son. Philippe advised me with the best route to take to Bajos del Toro. Mountain roads are very winding and steep so he advised me with the best route to take.

    It had been raining for 2 weeks and the hot water is solar powered do we didn't have any.

    Philippe was lovely, and his son was great too. We had a great conversation with them. They offered fruit and coffee for complimentary breakfast which was great. There's a really good local food stand area just 1 minute away for dinner - everyone there was really friendly and the food was good too. Our room was fairly basic but clean and tidy. Parking was off the street.

    All was good

    Staff great. Everything within walking distance. Not far from San Jose international airport and we were given a much better route by the owner avoiding tolls and with views to die for. Probably added about 10 mins to journey but was so worth it. Such a lovely family. We were given a lovely avocado and pineapple breakfast even though it wasn’t included.

    A bit pricy.

    Philippe was very welcoming and friendly and gave us plenty of advice for the start of our trip. Room was large and comfortable. Kitchen available although we stay very shortly so we did not use it. Late check-in can be difficult. Close to Carara national parc.

    We were staying one night, on the way to Quepos. Very friendly and welcoming owner's family. Gave us recommendations for dinner. Super cosy garden with a pool, spent an evening there. Beds were comfortable, hot water in the shower, private fenced parking, friendly cats :) would stay again and recommend to a friend :) We also liked the town, which is non touristic, and our family loves that kind of towns. Prices everywhere much lower than in touristic Costa Rica towns.
