This was a BEAUTIFUL place! We loved how tucked away it was-in general Guácima seemed like a neutral spot for little day drives all over Costa Rica! The staff was so helpful and sweet, even going above and beyond with some food orders when we were about 30 min away coming from a long adventure day. The space is clean and beautiful, and the food was delicious (loved every single breakfast but highly recommend the typical!) Overall, such a perfect stay and I already want to go back!

This was our second time staying here and we love this place! Staff is very helpful, and made the effort to communicate with us, using our very limited Spanish. Trees and flowers are beautiful here. Many choices on Free Breakfast menu, and food is very good. We love staying in this place and know that the staff takes great pride in keeping the natural beauty of Costa Rica, and providing excellent service.

Clean room, helpful staff. Room a biyt outdated but nice and spacious with everything you need. Pool was excellent as were the grounds. We had dinner and breakfast in the restaurant. Nothing fancy but very tasty and well cooked, good value for money. 25 mins from airport (12km), easy drive just a little traffic to consider

The outdoor shower option was a treat! Breakfast was delicious and the staff were very nice and friendly. The infinity pool was lovely, not too big, but just fine for a dip. Many hammocks for relaxing under the trees. I will be back!

This hotel is the perfect spot for your first day or last day in Costa Rica. The property was beautiful with lots of birds, and had a great pool and restaurant/bar. They offer shuttle service for a fee to the airport - we booked one at 4:45 a.m. The staff was so kind and helpful - one staff member let me use her personal cell phone when mine wouldn't work. I was also allowed to help her pluck a mango out of a tree with a long fruit picker - she then cut it up and offered it to us to enjoy! Thank you! Very relaxing stay.

Nice little hotel with restaurant and pool

Very nice small place to stay for a night or two, nice room and comfy bed, good restaurant on site, beautiful gardens, very friendly owner and staff, made me feel very welcome. Only downside was a big mouldy stain on the ceiling of my room. Also I expected more quiet area, you can hear nearby traffic and planes landing, but overall very recommended.
