The stay was very good. We had visited this property in 2014 and now ten years later. The only thing we would recommend is getting faster internet as it was not always very good and getting the. television channels fixed. Besides that, the staff was very nice and everyone was kind. Thank you for making our vacation pleasant.
The grounds and the pool are first class. The breakfast is a definite plus. At the end of the day around the pool we always met interesting people. We originally booked for two nights but added three more because we liked the place so much. Close to town, waterfalls, hot springs and hikes. A+++
Las áreas verdes son muy bonitas y cuidadas, la alberca grande, bonita y limpia, el servicio excelente, las habitaciones normales, con lo esencial, el desayuno muy completo y rico ( agua de frutas, café, huevo, gallo pinto, guisado, verduras, fruta, pan, hot cakes ) el personal muy amable. Muy cerca de restaurantes, centro, artesanías, etc
The hotel was simple, but very clean and Good value. Grounds had beautiful gardens and nice pool. We were a family of five and was bit difficult to find accommodations w out renting two rooms. Staff was very friendly and the free breakfast daily we thought was very good. One thing
Difficult was not having a restaurant on site for lunch or dinner . We did not have a car and walking to restaurants at night after returning from a tour was not comfortable for us as it’s a bit off the main road .
A few restaurants delivered to us and that was sufficient. My son left his device there and the staff helped me find a way to get it back.
Able to borrow umbrella, and pool towels at front desk.
Can purchase beer, snacks from front desk as well.
Staff was extremely friendly, went above and beyond, especially Jackie at the front desk who made our stay even more special. The property is very well maintained and has beautiful tropical plants all around. The room was very clean.

Property is in a good location but needed some updating.
Separate cottages with 3 or 4 rooms each. Great staff (Jackie & her sister). They moved us when we said our room (#1) was too noisy. Breakfast was good. Overall we loved our stay
Grounds were beautiful! Loved the trail in the back. Room was a bit noisy. Could hear lots of noise from outside which was sometimes good (birds), sometimes bad (other guests). Saw a gecko in the room almost every day (we assume he lived in there because he didn't seem to want to leave) and a large ant that kept making its way inside. We did request no room service, but our room was still cleaned so maybe they misunderstood our request as we didn't want anyone in the room. Thankfully, they do provide a safe which was great. Breakfast was good and fast if you want to get an early start to your day. Grounds seemed very safe and a few good restaurants within walking distance, but still far enough away from the bustle of downtown for it to be quiet.
We loved this little hotel. Its nothing fancy but was clean and the grounds were beautiful and quiet. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We thought it was a great value for the price.
