Great coffee for breakfast. Cook to order breakfast was amazing. Convenient location to La Fortuna, but quiet and away from all the activity there. Nice nature walk on the property and its a 6.minute drive to the La Fortuna waterfall. Definitely would stay again.

The staff are helpfull and the Room is ok. However the the fridge was not plugged in and they dont supply coffee for the coffee maker. Room was clean with many beds but its not somewhere to relax in.. just go outside. Its close to town but you still need a car.

My wife, 21 year old daughter, her fried and I really enjoyed this place. Staff was super friendly, breakfast was not only convenient but delicious and included with the stay. We saw sloths, hummingbirds, toucans and lots of other birds right on the property. It’s located a little out of the main town but that added to the charm, being away from the hustle and bustle. We would definitely stay there again and highly recommend it.
