great hotel, even better hostesses

The rooms were small but quite sufficient, cost was very reasonable, and the beds were comfortable. There was a good hot prepared breakfast with choice of 3-4 options and fresh juice. The receptionists Wanda and Zadieka were absolutely fabulous and incredibly helpful - do not let these young ladies leave your establishment, they are so hospitable, intelligent, knowledgable of the area and out-of-this-world helpful!!!

Just a quick walk from Santa Elena proper. Parking was a challenge, having 3 separate parking locations (and the very steep uphill didn't help, but no fault of the property). Great service, but the transport for the tour I booked never arrived.

Monteverde is a must!

Great property and location! Breakfast was one of the best we had while in Costa Rica. No A/C, so we would have appreciated a ceiling fan!

Everything was very nice including the included breakfast. The only problem I has was that there were too many stairs ti get to my cabin (with carrying luggage). They put me in their sister hotel next door on the ground floor and I was able to get the luggage in easily.
