Sehr zu empfehlen!

Geräumige und sehr huebsche, urige Zimmer mit kleiner Terrasse. Das Hotel liegt vor dem Ortseingang von san José. Vorteil: sehr ruhig. Dafür aber eben nicht direkt am Strand. Man kann aber zum Strand laufen.

Worn but still nice hotel

The reception and swimming pool looked rather worn. The room was worn but nice. Breakfast was simple, but good and some choice. Good value for what we paid. If you have a car, beautiful beaches are easy and quick to get to.

Precioso hotel rural que garantiza el relax .

Estuvimos solo 4 días que supieron a poco. Emplazado en un entorno literalmente de película es sinónimo de descanso y tranquilidad. Tiene una situación inmejorable para visitar el parque cómodamente y por la noche dar una vuelta por San José y comer producto fresco del mar o estupendos arroces. Repetiría sin lugar a dudas y por supuesto lo recomendaría a cualquiera que busque desconectar del mundo.

Great service and facilities. Bit out of town

I stayed in the hotel with my partner, 3 month old and mother for 3 nights last week and had a lovely stay. The hotel is very pleasant and built in a low level style in keeping with the traditional corjijo buildings on the cape. The service was very friendly and helpful, the rooms were beautifully decorated and clean. We had a nice little sheltered terrace with some mountain views. The pool area was very large with good views but still sheltered. The hotel is a couple of hundred meters from the edge of town but it is not hard to walk into town, or take the car and park in the ample parking in San Jose. All in all we had a very nice relaxing and would recommend if you want somewhere for R&R
