We only stayed one night at Vista Los Vocanes, but wish we could have stayed longer. We were greeted on arrival by the friendly staff who helped us check in and get comfortable. They were very attentive to our needs, and made sure we had everything we needed. We did not meet the owner - Carlos - until later that evening, but we were in good hands with his team. Once he arrived (just back from his own vacation), he greeted us immediately and made sure we had all the information we needed, even before he settled back in himself. He spoke excellent English, but was very complimentary of my own efforts to speak Spanish. We had a marvelous breakfast the next morning, prepared by the lovely Italian gentleman who had also checked us in, whose name, I realized later, I did not get. We did enjoy his company, his singing, his stories of Italy, and the wonderful food he prepared for us, at a very early hour, so we could be on the road, So thoughtful. Be sure to check out the view from the upstairs lounge, with the lovely views of Poas and Barva Volcanos. I would highly recommend Vista Los Volcanes for a visit to central Costa RIca. It's near the airport, without being in the city itself, and there are great restaurants very nearby. Gated security for the car is a plus, and there is hammock to enjoy. Wonderful staff and very comfortable.
