"Note**** They are a cash business or they take Zelle (I missed that upon booking). This is a very charming, well-maintained, and secure property. We initially stayed in a cabina without air conditioning, but after the first night we upgraded to a room with A/C, which made our stay even more comfortable. The staff were outstanding—friendly, attentive, and excellent with communication throughout our visit. Our room was consistently clean, and the quality of the linens and towels was especially impressive. Amenities are minimal, so if you’re looking for features like a pool or in-room TV, this may not be the right fit. However, if you value a simple, clean environment with thoughtful, personalized service, this is a great choice. The location is very convenient: there’s a restaurant just across the parking lot, and the beach is only a 3–5 minute walk away. You’ll also find plenty of nearby restaurants, bars, and a grocery store within easy walking distance. We didn’t have a car and had no trouble accessing everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again in the future."

"Loved the staff, breakfast, birds, pool, location. Need better beds but that’s it"

"The rooms and property are spotless. Nice bungalows set in lovely grounds with abundant wildlife all around. Great breakfast and easy drive to Dominican for fun beach bars etc. great local beach 10 mins stroll."

"This is a cute little property off the beaten path. Lots of tico places to eat in the area but you need a car. We don’t recommend the seafood place across the highway though. Breakfast was amazing, especially the homemade bread and condiments. The laminated note in the room about not getting sand in the beach towels was a little odd!"

"Lovely well-maintained hotel with excellent breakfast and kind, attentive staff. Appreciated Maximilian’s tips and suggestions. Highly recommended."

"The place is located in the mountain, the road is mud and stone it's not easy to get up there."

"Beautiful place in an amazing, peaceful location. The room was perfect! The staff were wonderful and the food was great! The pool was the nicest I have seen in Costa Rica, and I have stayed many places. I highly recommend staying at this incredible hotel!"

"We had an amazing time with our family. The home was well maintained, they even had things we were not expecting. Like extra towels, and laundry detergent to name a couple. We got to see and hear a good amount of the wildlife too. This is a beautiful place to visit. "
