Check in failure
Despite making a plan for late check-in, we were not able to get into our room for almost an hour. No apologies were offered

We enjoyed it
We enjoyed our stay and the local wildlife. The hotel is in a good location, within walking distance to a bar and restaurant. The room has an exterior entrance for privacy, was large and had a mini fridge, which is appreciated. Coffee is only available in the main communal area, which is a bit inconvenient but at least it’s available.
The breakfast was plentiful and delicious!

Super helpful reception staff.
The reception staff was very helpful, client oriented and friendly. She helped with tour booking and went out of her way delivering takeout to our room. Totally appreciated.

Cozy secluded Place.
Welcoming Friendly Staff.
Quite location, lots of flowers, birds chirping. They had a sloth in living in their yard. Which we got to see all the days we were there. Breakfast was good. Loved the home made jam.
Overall, was a pretty cozy place to stay.
(Bed was pretty firm, but that’s a personal matter )
Friendly staff, very helpful, clean rooms, great breakfast.

We arrived early and were accommodated for a check in without any problems. The gardens and property was VERY well maintained and beautiful. There were so many birds, butterflies and flowers to enjoy. We even saw a sloth in the trees by the parking lot! The room was spacious and very clean. The shower had hot water and great pressure. I loved the morning breakfast with coffee. My only wish was coffee maker in the room not just tea/hot water. But coffee was always available if wanted. The front desk had excellent recommendations for excursions and restaurants. We had no car so they also helped with taxi when needed.

Gorgeous grounds, felt like an oasis. Jennie prepared a delicious breakfast each morning, including a great homemade salsa and homemade marmalade. She also pointed out a sloth (perezoso) sleeping in a tree outside. Josephine was kind enough to help me book a night tour and to find a kayak tour in another city . Highly recommend.
