"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!"

"From the moment we arrived the staff greeted us with warm smiles and salutations, and throughout our stay it remained the same. Alan and his wife (the chef), Ariel, Alan’s brother and Andre and Patricia ( another chef) provided us with a rich history of the area and delicious meals. We slept like babies each night in the spacious lodging provided for us. The mountaintop views are breathtaking and taking a dip in the private waterfall was so refreshing! We totally enjoyed our stay!"

"Very clean room and exceptional staff (everyone spoke English which was extremely helpful to this non-Spanish speaking person). Really enjoyed the seating area on the balcony outside my room. The restaurant was very nice with a variety of options that were reasonably priced. The sparkling pool was clean and refreshing. The area was a little loud due to a truck repair shop next door, but overall I was extremely pleased with my stay and look forward to my next visit! Kim Kline"

10/10 Excellent
"I’m a Hilton diamond member and my experts tips were not high but this Boutique changed my mind since the day I arrived, Muriel helped yes check in and he did a superb job giving us recommendations(that we loved) and showing me the amenities and the room. The facilities are super clean, very well maintained and super central. This will be my spot every time that I go back to Costa Rica."
