This was the best hotel we stayed in during our 3 weeks travelling around Costa Rica. The reception staff were amazing, so kind, informative and welcoming. The rooms are huge and spotless, the pool is also great - we saw lots of wildlife. They even have a courtesy shower & store your luggage after check out which was a big plus!

I’m a Hilton diamond member and my experts tips were not high but this Boutique changed my mind since the day I arrived, Muriel helped yes check in and he did a superb job giving us recommendations(that we loved) and showing me the amenities and the room. The facilities are super clean, very well maintained and super central. This will be my spot every time that I go back to Costa Rica.

The staff here are so friendly and accommodating. The rooms are very spacious. We really enjoyed our stay and sitting on their beautiful back porch watching the spider monkeys play. The breakfast is made to order and very good. The only down side I would say is the road they are located on is busy so you do hear traffic noise.
