Eden Atenas Costa Rica

What guests think

At Eden Atenas, guests consistently praise the lush, jungle-like gardens teeming with birds, a relaxing pool area, and standout homemade breakfasts, while also highlighting warm, attentive hosts who help with transportation, food delivery, and other arrangements.

Several note a secluded setting that is not walkable to town, can be hard to find without clear signage, yet works well for an overnight near the airport. Rooms are generally simple and comfortable, with some larger studios and cabanas; feedback on Wi-Fi and noise from nearby dogs is mixed. Most describe clean spaces, though a minority reported insects, worn furnishings, or housekeeping lapses. Expect a peaceful, low-key stay with simple comforts.

After flying into San Jose, we wanted a place to stay outside of the city on our way to the coast, and this was perfect! The host is so kind and the breakfast was very good. The gardens and pool area are a magical Eden indeed! Thank you, Eden Atenas! We hope to return one day with our baby :)

Eden Atenas seemed a bit in the middle of nowhere, when we arrived in the dark - and it was very dark. But when we woke up the morning we were surrounded by the most beautiful jungle gardens, a gorgeous pool, such a kind caretaker who made a gorgeous simple breakfast where we watched hummingbirds. Eden. Just like it says. There isn't anywhere exciting to go outside the compound but inside it's a magical retreat. Someone should write a great novel there.

We left early. This used to be a nice place but it is poorly maintained with minimal cleaning and uncomfortable furniture. The gardens are beautiful but there were so many mosquitoes and ants we couldn’t hang outside much. It’s sad that the owner is letting it go down hill.

This property is beautiful! We stayed in the cabin which is the furthest from the front gate. It involved a little bit of a trek with our luggage but was well worth it for the lovely, breezy room and the view. We saw tons of butterflies and hummingbirds as well as other birds including chachalacas, mot mots, and a toucan. Also a cute agouti! Everything was neat and clean. The mattress was the most comfortable one we had in any of the small places we stayed in Costa Rica. Breakfast was delicious. I feel like the dogs have gotten a lot of attention in other reviews so shout out to the big gray and white cat that systematically moves around among various awesome napping spots around the property and graciously accepts adoration from guests. I highly recommend asking them about getting a massage while you're there. There's a highly skilled massage therapist across the street.

Eden Atenas is a great stopover if you're touring Costa Rica, or even just looking for a few days out of the city. The property is beautifully landscaped and you'll wake up to an orchestra of birds (also the nightly rooster's call!) and a view of lush mountain foliage. You will receive the most delicious and freshly made breakfasts, with some seasonal fruits picked from the property itself. And the hotel manager is as kind, hospitable and gracious as she is knowledgeable and helpful. She also has a wealth of knowledge about local flora and fauna, and the property's amazing garden (really, a botanical garden in its own right). Sure, the WIFI could have been better and the beds a little bigger. The property has modest rooms with the bare bones (don't expect TV's and AC's--though a fan kept us cool even on the hottest nights). But everything is well maintained and very clean. And you'll be pampered and nourished in other ways. My husband and I are definitely looking forward to staying there again, on our next visit to Atenas/CR.

The rooms are simple yet very comfortable with no need of AC. And the lush landscaping, beautiful pool and abundance of many different birds was a bonus. We will definitely stay here again!

There are not enough positive words that I can say about Eden Atenas. From the moment we checked in, it was paradise. Inid (not sure the spelling) and Lucy, the chihuahua, greeted us graciously and were a pleasure. The grounds are amazingly beautiful with a very large variety of plants and trees. The birds were plentiful and gorgeous. We staying in the suite in the back and it was perfect. Would love to visit again in the future.

We were warmly welcomed to this pretty hotel set on a hill lush with trees and flowering plants. The pool is inviting and breakfast was delicious. We enjoyed a beautiful drive to Atenes along a good road (Route 3 through San Mateo) from the west, and it was an easy shot to SJO airport the next day. We had a delicious traditional Costa Rican dinner at El Fogon Campesino. Only caveat might be for someone who craves total silence. As in many places in Costa Rica, bird and animal sounds abound in the early morning! Atenes is famous for its climate, and we were very comfortable, even wanted a light wrap in the evening.
