Very cute room and a wonderful family owned business. I would stay again! I saw so much wildlife, fruit trees and tropical flowers. I loved it! Thank you!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was very helpful and attentive. They gave us a booklet full of available tours in our area, and even helped book them for us. The breakfast they provide was also phenomenal. By far the best casado we’ve had in all of Costa Rica. There were toucans by the dining area as well, and the river right beside us made it even more pleasant. Things are available walking distance, but it’s probably best if you have transportation to get around. We would definitely be staying here again.
