Great location

Helpful friendly staff, good food, clean and well equipped rooms and superb gardens with a host of birds. Can't fault it.

The room was huge, with a vast en suite and good facilities. It was spotless. The staff were friendly and professional all the time. So helpful. The restaurant had the most wonderful ambience, being semi open air, with a stupendous wire. Great food at every meal.

This is a great place to stay if you enjoy tranquility, scenery and wildlife. Not great if you prefer a lively night scene. We ate at the restaurant every night because the food was so good but also because the drive back down the valley to the village was rather daunting in the dark. Jose, the chef/owner serves up fresh water fish, locally caught in a variety of imaginative ways but he also serves meat and vegetarian options (he is also a very good photographer and enjoys sharing his photos of...

The most difficult thing appears to be able to find the hotel. It is off a busy road on a tight turn with limited width and you will find you have to use the intercom to get the gate to be opened. Use this GPS: 9.834830, -83.836998 location to get you to the exact turn-off for the private gated hotel. Parking is sufficient once inside and the rooms spacious with good beds and bathrooms/showers. Comfy seating on each verandah provides needed relaxation. The kitchen in the room has fridge and...

Great family room. Comfy beds. Lovely breakfast and helpful staff.

Awesome… A great welcome from the host and shown to the lodge which was wonderful. The secret garden is way up in the mountains overlooking Cartago and had it not been cloudy we would have seen a spectacular sun set, unfortunately we didn’t, but the cloud did ease off for a spectacular view of Cartago sparkling in the night far below our lodge. Some extras left in the lodge for those caught out, a couple of long hoodies and jackets for when it’s cold which was a wonderful touch. Breakfast was...

This is our second stay here, the first being six years ago for our sons wedding. The resort is a small piece of paradise nestling in the rain forest with a large varied selection of accommodation ranging from the large presidential bungalow with two bedrooms, spa bath and lounge with a bar! to the smaller bungalows /cabinas and wooden cabins, plus two blocks of apartments. The whole resort nestles in several acres of manicured rainforest with well cared for pathways and gardens and the hot...

I arrived after hours due to a delayed flight and the staff waited for me to arrive. I can’t thank them enough. Great location, amazing views - would stay again thank you

Good: Located in an upscale shopping area with good access to a major shopping mall. Taxis available any time you need, and lots of food/entertainment options. Staff is extremely friendly and makes a point of getting to know you and greet you each time you see them. Rooms are done to a decently high standard and the kitchen is great. Morning breakfast is solid. The less good: the pool is nothing to write home about; in the afternoon it doesn't get as much direct sun, and is in a very windy...

We had a fab stay here! Arranged them to pick us up at the airport which was seamless. We arrived at the hotel quite late, around 23:30 and they were still welcoming and even upgraded our room. The pool area is lovely, just limited sun loungers. Breakfast was also great with something for everyone!

Great location and property, very different to beach based ones but felt a little cold at night! Enjoyed restaurant cuisine.

Breakfast was good with mix of local and international foods. We were on the 6th (premier) floor, so had access to the lounge. That was a great bonus, woth wines, beer, and a selection of food available all day as needed. Great hotel at a good price.
