The only complaint that I have is that the water pressure in the shower was inconsistent, but otherwise it was a fantastic stay, especially for the price.

The location was just perfect. The rooms are fantastic and have great views, there were sloths and multiple packs of monkeys living on the hillside outback, the food at their kitchen was exceptional, and the staff were both very outgoing and kind and incredibly accommodating.

Water pressure low. Bed could have been softer.

Incredible views, with the sound of crickets and songbirds floating on the breeze.

There was some road noise from the big trucks in morning but it didn't bother me.

What made the stay particularly memorable was my interactions with the owner, who also runs the hotel on a daily basis. She has much experience with the area and was a great info. source besides being very pleasant to talk with. The location was great for me: 1) excellent view of the ocean/river, 2) a 5 minute drive down to the beach just below the hotel for sunsets and some authentic Tico vibes; food was good too at the beach shacks, 3) my room had a good breeze through it and that with a ceiling fan kept it cool for sleeping. Note: the beach for sunsets is not a swimming beach since it is also the mouth of the river (crocodiles). But there is a beach across the river that is quite nice. You pay a Tico a few bucks to take you there and back. The hotel is located close to some great attractions: Mangrove Tour in Sierpe (must do if you want to see animals) and there are tours to Corcovado available (by boat). Restaurants in the area are quite good too.

Breakfast was very basic and not enough to fill us up.

Warm shower, nice room, friendly owner. Pool was amazing and the view lovely. Good price-quality.

There is a surprising amount of noise from the highway at night. Light sleepers should bring earplugs(although you won’t hear the monkeys in the morning?

Great pool. Small, but perfect temperature with a fabulous view.

Views are incredible, breakfasts were wonderful. It's probably rustic compared to most places in the states, so make sure the expectations match the region. Ellie and Manuela were wonderful, great sources of local info and just wonderful people overall. The hosts are a major highlight of this hotel

Lovely quiet and elevated location, parking and great breakfast

A little difficult to get there by bus, it can be done with a 15 minute walk up hill.

Lovely location and pool. Great views

Surprised there was no air conditioning.

Beautiful view. Very clean. Well kept.

This is a hidden gem. Ellie was very welcoming, and really made our stay there special. The pool has a view over the ocean, yet is surrounded by trees. There is facility to make a meal. Breakfast was made to order, and we really enjoyed all the bird and wildlife easily seen here.

Stunning views, pool is excellent, authentic breakfast, hostess extremely helpful, loved the location

Stayed in February 2024

There is no food or drinks available near by (even though the host organised us some because we didn’t bring any). You need to drive down the steep hill to get to a restaurant or to the beach

great view on the bay, large pool, friendly host, very clean house, beautiful nature surrounding

Nothing.

What an amazing stay!!! Our hostess was absolutely lovely and made this an exceptional experience! The property is breathtaking. The photos are real life! The view from the pool cannot be beat!

Spiral stairs to our room were slightly inconvenient

A gorgeous view of the ocean. Also the balcony location above the tree tops provided terrific bird watching. A flock of scarlet macaws flew right over me while I was sipping the fresh brewed coffee that was provided. Owner was lovely. We are a couple in our 60’s and stayed one night - happened to be a Friday night so ate dinner at The Bamboo Room for live music just up the street. This was a convenient location and we enjoyed our stay very much.
