Spotless room, comfortable beds, great breakfast, pleasant, friendly and helpful staff. We loved the swing on the porch off the room! Liked the fact that it was an ecolodge.

Very clean and simple room with a nice private balcony for our room. The property was beautifully landscaped with many varieties of trees and plants. It was a 5 minute walk down a steep hill to the main part of town. Excellent variety of options for the free breakfast, with fresh fruit, pancakes, eggs, and traditional Costa Rican food.
