"Friendly staff. Good recommendations for local areas. Really cute and unique property. Would stay again for sure. Excellent breakfast. Parking was tight, but owner was helpful in getting the car in. Security for the room was a potential issue as you could put your arm through the gate to unlock it at anytime; risk is mitigated by no one being allowed into the property that isn't a guest. Still, I'd put valuables in the safe. Overall was a great stay. Highly recommended and would be glad to...

"The entire hotel was brand new and looked very high end. The rooms were modern and updated and felt way nicer than the price we paid. The front desk staff and bellhop were extremely friendly and caring, even for Tico standards!"
