Everything went well. The air conditioning worked and a buffet breakfast was available. However, I was there when a youth tour was there and they ate most of some of the dishes and additional wasn't put out until they finished breakfast so there was not much when I arrived. My bad for not asking for more. The grounds were very beautiful and quiet.

The property is like a jail they have a gate that needs to be opened to enter or exit. The parking lot is terrible you cannot park easily and take out the car. Property is old and needs improvements.

The place is gorgeous and well kept. The staff are quite helpful and always kind. The breakfasts are free and very delicious with protein options. I was surprised and delighted with the cups of peanut butter. Eggs, rice and banana cake are staples. The coffee is always good and some days exceptional with fresh milk as an option. You will find that the coffee in Costa Rica is never bad like it can be other places. The housekeeper Ana was super kind and helpful, very personable. The room had fresh flowers and/or herbs, a delight. The rooms are simple but aesthetically thoughtful. I took a dip in the pool at night and it was refreshing, though cold. The grounds are exceptionally well designed and beautiful and there are many places to sit and enjoy the gardens, listen to the birds, and there is a resident cat, friendly but keeps to himself. It's a rural area, yet there are several yummy restaurants nearby and a bar.
The only difficulty was getting around. It's about a 15-20 minute Uber ride to the airport. There are public buses but I didn't have time to learn the system. Driving around San José is pretty chaotic. I was glad I didn't rent a car. Next time, I would stay a night, take a bus to another part of the country, rent a car and explore from there, bus back to Alejuela, stay and return home.
There is a pharmacy and a mini Mart within walking distance, as well as, the many restaurants.
The walks and strolls were lovely. It is a safe quiet neighborhood. The hotel is gated.

My room had no towels, so I had to go ask for them the next morning. When I came back from a day of excursion on day 2, the room was getting invaded by ants, so I went to ask for a can of repellent, but the attendant said none was available. She graciously switched me to an adjacent room, but once again the room had no towels, so I had to ask again for the same request or the second room. The breakfast was mediocre, at best. The eggs were green/grey in color, and when i asked the worker, she sdaid it was be auze they did not use milk. I did not press them on this, but simply put, the eggs were not appetizing visually, or physically.

My room had no towels, so I had to go ask for them the next morning. This hotel looks like it used to be a lot nicer, but it looks like the new owner is not willing to spend money, so you get the feeling like it’s not as nice as before. When I came back from a day of excursion on day 2, the room was getting invaded by aunts, so I went to ask for a can of repellent, but the attendant said none was available. She graciously switched me to an adjacent room, but once again the room had no towels, so I had to ask again. I believe the blame falls on the owners, not so much on the staff, since they appear to be willing to help, but have limited to no resources.

Wonderful little haven away from the bustling city

This little boutique hotel was absolutely perfect. Not only did it have rooms that could sleep all 6 of us, they are little individual casitas. The grounds were beautiful, and was only accessible behind a gate so we felt very safe parking and walking around the property. Pool was large and clean. Didn’t get to try breakfast as we left at 5:30am but check in was super easy and the front desk gentlemen was very kind and helpful. We did have to get another towel as they only gave us 5 but that was easy enough. Would definitely stay here again, as it’s only 15 min from SJO

This is a quaint property I selected due to its close proximity to the airport. Although the furnishings are dated, they are of good quality and well maintained and the property is very clean. The rooms have AC (not needed due to excellent cross ventilation with open louvered windows), TV, and comfortable beds. I was able to sit outside reading and relaxing, surrounded by beautiful landscaping. The pool is a good size. The small restaurant has well prepared food for breakfast (included in room cost) and dinner (additional). The staff, who are all courteous, directed me to the wildlife rescue center ( about 1/2 mile down the street) which was an excellent afternoon activity where I was able to observe and read about all of the wildlife in Costa Rica. I was comfortable, well fed and safe.

There isn't much around the hotel, but there is a restaurant on the premises. It was convienent and was authentic Costa Rican food. The rooms and grounds were well kept, clean, and beautiful. Most everyone spoke English, which was helpful. The hotel is gated off, which added a layer of security. There aren't many rooms, which was a positive selling point, in my opinion.

It is clean and beautiful and the check in check out was super easy. We missed their breakfast and our only disappointment was they wouldn't do a little brown bag breakfast for us.
