We loved our stay at the hotel! First of all, the design of the hotel is beautiful, not only the overall buildings, but also the details. Also, the service was very good, including the check-in process, the breakfast and the room service. We always felt very welcome thanks to the friendly staff. Lastly, the hotel is secure, with the front door being locked all day, and the beach and some restaurants can be reached by walking.

This place is absolutely amazing! The view is breathtaking, and the peacefulness made our stay incredibly relaxing. We had the best time here. Leonardo, the host, is super friendly and went out of his way to help us find a tour to Corcovado for the next day, which we really appreciated. The breakfast was very good, with a nice variety of options, though it was more continental in style. I would have loved a bit more of a local touch to really capture the Costa Rican flavor. Nonetheless, the quality was great and we really enjoyed it! The atmosphere is wonderful, and I truly love this place. If you're looking for a serene escape with fantastic views and great hospitality, this is the perfect spot!

​Michelle and Francisco made our stay fantastic. They were so accommodating and always greeted us with a smile. ​The breakfast was spectacular—the best we've had in Costa Rica. The chef's attention to detail, flavors, and presentation were outstanding.
