Eden Atenas is a delightful BnB, situated in a breathtaking location. The staff were thorough, helpful, and incredibly thoughtful. The breakfast that was provided was superb. Highly recommend for an authentic, immersed yet luxurious experience.
Details:
Rooms are open air meaning no AC
On site pool is refreshing and a perfect option to cool down
On site wildlife is part of the rainforest immersion! Nothing alarming - some iguanas, noles, and several species of bird.
Eden Atenas is gated and private, offering secure onsite parking.

Highly recommend!

Resort is a little older and needs some refreshing but is still very nice. Large and clean pool! Large covered balcony with lounge area and shared cooking area. This is a great space for dining al fresco, doing group yoga, working, playing games or just relaxing and watching nature. Also make sure you dont need a/c. This is an eco resort. I didn't pay attention to that part of the details but still lovely at night with the fan on.

This garden stay near the city was a wonderful stop on our way from the Pacific Coast to the Caribbean Coast. The pool was very clean and refreshing. Inid and her trusted companion Lucy were wonderful hosts. We ended up showing up early and were not turned away. Privacy was 100% being within the gates and the entire property is one huge garden. We were also lucky enough to have the whole place to ourselves for the night. It was nice having our coffee next to the pool planning our next moves for the day and the breakfast was extremely tasty. I was not able to give a complete 5 stars only because of the property needing some maintenance, but other than that, it was one of my favorite places that we stayed. Would very much stay there again.

This property is beautiful! We stayed in the cabin which is the furthest from the front gate. It involved a little bit of a trek with our luggage but was well worth it for the lovely, breezy room and the view. We saw tons of butterflies and hummingbirds as well as other birds including chachalacas, mot mots, and a toucan. Also a cute agouti! Everything was neat and clean. The mattress was the most comfortable one we had in any of the small places we stayed in Costa Rica. Breakfast was delicious. I feel like the dogs have gotten a lot of attention in other reviews so shout out to the big gray and white cat that systematically moves around among various awesome napping spots around the property and graciously accepts adoration from guests. I highly recommend asking them about getting a massage while you're there. There's a highly skilled massage therapist across the street.

Eden Atenas seemed a bit in the middle of nowhere, when we arrived in the dark - and it was very dark. But when we woke up the morning we were surrounded by the most beautiful jungle gardens, a gorgeous pool, such a kind caretaker who made a gorgeous simple breakfast where we watched hummingbirds. Eden. Just like it says. There isn't anywhere exciting to go outside the compound but inside it's a magical retreat. Someone should write a great novel there.

Pretty garden hotel

We were warmly welcomed to this pretty hotel set on a hill lush with trees and flowering plants. The pool is inviting and breakfast was delicious. We enjoyed a beautiful drive to Atenes along a good road (Route 3 through San Mateo) from the west, and it was an easy shot to SJO airport the next day. We had a delicious traditional Costa Rican dinner at El Fogon Campesino. Only caveat might be for someone who craves total silence. As in many places in Costa Rica, bird and animal sounds abound in the early morning! Atenes is famous for its climate, and we were very comfortable, even wanted a light wrap in the evening.

Eden Atenas is a great stopover if you're touring Costa Rica, or even just looking for a few days out of the city. The property is beautifully landscaped and you'll wake up to an orchestra of birds (also the nightly rooster's call!) and a view of lush mountain foliage. You will receive the most delicious and freshly made breakfasts, with some seasonal fruits picked from the property itself. And the hotel manager is as kind, hospitable and gracious as she is knowledgeable and helpful. She also has a wealth of knowledge about local flora and fauna, and the property's amazing garden (really, a botanical garden in its own right). Sure, the WIFI could have been better and the beds a little bigger. The property has modest rooms with the bare bones (don't expect TV's and AC's--though a fan kept us cool even on the hottest nights). But everything is well maintained and very clean. And you'll be pampered and nourished in other ways. My husband and I are definitely looking forward to staying there again, on our next visit to Atenas/CR.

An experience at Eden

I absolutely loved staying here. The hosts were so friendly, helpful, generous. I had a feeling of being and a harmonious community while staying there. Safe, calm, quiet, and peaceful. It's more than just a B&B, it's an experience that soothes the senses, and leaves you feeling peaceful. The sounds of the birds singing, and the beautiful flowers everywhere it was absolutely heavenly.
They were so helpful, they even helped me with my transportation issues, and disgruntle Uber driver.
And breakfast was the best I've ever had.The combination of taste, textures, sights and smells combined with just the right amount of everything, so nothing overpowered my taste buds. I would definitely stay here again.

Beauty Property, Terrible Host

Upon arriving to the B&B, the host was rude to my wife and reprimanded her for arriving late (she was already in bed...it was 9:15). She responded that she didnt know there was a time restriction (the booking was pre-paid). She responded, \"You don't have Internet to check your email?\" In which, we did not have any WIFI service in Costa Rica (not that it should matter since it was pre-paid). I checked my Hotels.com account and did not see any emails from the host. She was obviously inconvenienced that she has to wake up to let us in the gate. She doesn't like people arriving after 9:00. I asked the host if I could change my breakfast time in the morning, and she said \"no.\" She takes days in advance to prepare breakfast. She eventually modified the time, but her response was ridiculous. I appreciate the planning for guests and their stay, but she lacked any sense of flexibility and basic hospitality--a B&B experience revolves around host. Besides the poor hospitality, the stay was great. The room was clean and spacious (the pillows lacked integrity). The dogs were barking at night which got annoying. There was also someone arriving to the property at 2:00 AM, but I guess the host found that acceptable. The view of the garden was top knotch and the breakfast was gormet. This had all the potential for an excellent experience. I am hopeful the host will read my comments and change her demeanor for future guests.

Pros: Beautiful space, awesome shower, and bed, nice owners (a little quirky but pleasantly so) Gardens defy description. Jan is a maestro of gardening.

Cons: a bit inconvenient going out to the road to meet your taxi especially in the green season. Space needs TLC: most outdoor wood furniture and other wood needs resealing. Weather has taken its toll. A little maintenance would go a long way in sprucing up the overall appearance.

Well, we ALMOST stayed there

Booked the room via Expedia this morning and received the confirmation. Found the dirt/mud “road” that led to the place and it was gated. Finally got into the grounds and there’s no signage on where to check in (which isn’t unusual for Costa Rica). One of the owners came out to tell me that she’d sent me an email saying she couldn’t accept the reservation because they “don’t accept same-day reservations.” So off we go down the dirt road which is now blocked by some heavy machinery. The driver pulls over as far as he can and we attempt to go around him but land in a culvert adding insult to injury. Thankfully several nice Ticos rescued us, and we found an amazing place to stay in Atenas. I have to admit the Eden Atenas didn’t look like its pictures but I never saw anything but the outside. Lesson here: if it’s on a dirt road, don’t go.
