The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast in the morning was fabulous. My partner and I really loved the tub. The shower was very nice, good water pressure and never ran out of hot water filling the giant tub and taking hot showers. It was a very unique property which was beautiful to walk around and interact with the dogs and other animals on the property.

The room was very clean. Had all your basic amenities. Everything you’d need to feel comfortable during your stay. The staff is incredibly friendly & welcoming. They were helpful with any questions we had & recommending food & activities in the area. The animals on the property were an added bonus. Very sweet dog, cat & donkey that you can also interact with. The breakfast was traditional Costa Rican style. Eggs, rice & beans, plantains, with a side of toast & fresh fruit. Overall the property was very homey & peaceful. A lot of love was put into the property. I would definitely stay again!
