The property is in a good location close to the airport. We only stayed a night as a stopover before catching another flight down to Osa. The staff was friendly and the garden and house were great. This definitely felt like staying in a family’s house. The accommodations were mixed between private rooms and dorm like rooms. We stayed in a private room that was comfortable. It is definitely a good budget option.

This place was a magic little oasis hidden away in the city. It was clean, felt safe, and was very close to the airport. Dinner and breakfast there were both simple and delicious. Most importantly, it seems to attract travelers from all over the world, and the connections I made there in just one night were potent, grounding, and nurturing. Can't recommend this place enough. Thank you!
