Fantastic first night in Costa Rica
The hotel was easily accessible from the airport (just 25 minute drive) yet far enough away to feel one with nature.
The room was large with a great view and all the staff were very pleasant. We will be back again the night before flying home

Lovely view out over San Jose and more!
This is a perfect small hotel, which we overnighted at between flights returning to USA. The pool was warm enough to enjoy, there were lots of places to use outdoor chairs to enjoy the gardens and the birdwatching was excellent right there. Wonderful to have restaurant right here.

The place is located in a small town, but under 30 minutes driving distance to the San Jose airport. The staff was nothing but friendly and attentive. The views from the hotel are spectacular, it felt like we were at a high-end luxurious resort. The villas are very spacious and all have beautiful views from their balconies. The hotel even has private trails you can walk. The breakfast included was a la carte, and delicious. Highly recommend this hotel!
