We chose this hotel because of its meaningful social mission to support the local community. Joan and Ronald were incredibly kind, polite, and attentive, making our stay even more special. They also recommended an amazing sunset spot in Monteverde — Cerro Pinocho — which was truly unforgettable.

We loved our stay at the hotel! First of all, the design of the hotel is beautiful, not only the overall buildings, but also the details. Also, the service was very good, including the check-in process, the breakfast and the room service. We always felt very welcome thanks to the friendly staff. Lastly, the hotel is secure, with the front door being locked all day, and the beach and some restaurants can be reached by walking.

Amazing view over the mountains and sea from our bed. Waking up to this view was truly special. We received a free upgrade from a jungle-view room to a mountain-view room. The room was very clean and modern, with high-quality materials. The staff—especially our host Enzo—were extremely helpful and always striving to ensure we had the best possible experience. The hotel offers many on-site activities, from ziplining to jungle night walks. We took the Nature Reserve tour, and our guide José was fantastic. During the tour, we spotted three sloths, monkeys, macaws, and toucans.

Beautiful hotel with ocean view and a special attention to details. The room was small, but charming. We really enjoyed the common area and the terrace with the ocean view. The perfect place for a morning yoga class. My husband also worked very well from that area. The pool was also amazing especially in the evening, after a long drive. 😊 By far, the best ever Mango Marguerita and huevos rancheros.

The room was very comfortable, spacious and clean. It has a kitchen which is also great, especially on a longer stay. The pool was wonderful and clean too, with perfect water temperatures. As for the breakfast, it was exceptional. You could choose from many different options and these were all very well prepared. The restaurant is also a great option in Jacó, not too expensive relative to other places, and the food was amazing, we had the tuna and trout wraps (these were outstandingly good).

The Gulf of Nicoya is one of the Jewels of Costa Rica. A paradise where you can do all kinds of water activities. The island itself captures you from the moment you arrive and makes you never want to return from where you came from. We are Booking Genious travelers and I can openly say that this amazing place is a 10 out of 10. The rooms have a million dollar view.

I love the privacy of the room, the jacuzzi, the view, and every single detail in the room, it's obvious to me that great attention has been put to the architectural design of the hotel and particularly the junior suite in which we stayed. The beach was a nice surprise, didn't have idea there was access to a private beach.

Great location Gorgeous house throughout. Sergio was the best host. He made all the reservations for what we wanted to do and even rearranged a few things when it was cold and rainy. The breakfast each morning was amazing. We were able to cook our tuna in their kitchen and use it to make lunch and snacks. Sergio was attentive and made sure we had a great time. I would HIGHLY recommend staying here if you get to go to Monteverde Cloud Forest. We did hanging bridges, zip lining, sloths, butterflies, snakes and frogs. We did a great coffee tour.

I go there to do dental work at Crystal Dental, as their prices are 2-3 times cheaper than in the USA and the quality is better, they speak English and have German equipment. I do not care about touristy stuff, I did it on my first visit many years ago. You can take buses for daytrips. Tours with agencies are very expensive and geared for young athletic people. I wish there was a sightseeing tour for the whole day on a bus to take pictures without any hiking or horse-riding.

The town of Quepos was a lot most touristy than other towns, particularly close to Manuel Antonio National Park. Parking 'attendants' and street vendors were in our faces trying to sell us anything. Manuel Antonio National Park is worth the trip (and the beach in the park is beautiful), but I'd prefer to not spend too much time in Quepos. We did eat and have drinks at El Avion restaurant, which was really cool with a great view of the sunset.

This is basically a cruse ship harbor and not much to do in low season. A few bars and stores open. A lot of tour is not given due to no crusie ship arriving in this time of the year. Also, extreme weather resultet in that most tours from Puntarenas was cancelled. If you are planning a vaccation, you should choose another city such as Jaco or Uvita. Very easy to take a 2-3 hour bus shuttle from San Jose, terminal 7-10 for a few dollars.

There were people from all parts of the world in one little town. It is worth exploring the surrounding areas, because the actual town of Montezuma is rather small. There are different dining and lodging options for all tastes and budgets. The town/beach is at the bottom of a very steep hill, and getting up and down could be a challenge for walkers.

Puerto Jiménez served as a rest-over before going to, and when coming from a trip to Corcovado Nat'l Park. We were able to take and ride bikes from the hotel to restaurants and to look around (the walkway to the pier was torn up so we had to go the long way around and the bikes came in super handy). The staff was friendly and could answer all our questions.
