"El hotel está muy bonito pero necesitan mejorar muchas cosas principalmente para ser un hotel tan nuevo, para empezar llegamos a las 3pm en punto para nuestro check in y nos tuvieron esperando más de 1 hora sin decir nada hasta que fuimos de nuevo a preguntar molestos por lo que pasamos una pésima experiencia de Check in También preguntamos varias veces a distintas personas y siempre nos dijeron que las mujeres podían entrar con paño a comer al almuerzo mientras estuvieran tapadas, el primer...

"Un lugar sin privacidad. La parte frontal de la habitación es de vidrio( Sucios) lo que expone a los huéspedes a la mirada en todo momento de cualquier persona. Durante nuestra estancia habían trabajadores que acentúaban aún más este problema. Además, mantenían música y conversaciones a alto volumen. Parquear es todo un reto, especialmente con un coche grande y con otros coches en el parqueo. Para salir de la propiedad hay que bajar del coche y digitar un código, lo cual me parece una...

"Incroyable endroit de paix! Propriété magnifique avec chevaux, si singes… la cabane rustique tient bien c’est nom, c’est rustique! Mais l’expérience vaut la peine. Le manager sur place est d’une gentillesse et d’un dévouement incroyable! Sans voiture, l’endroit n’est pas très facile d’accès, mais avec une voiture il n’y a pas de problème. C’était le stop parfait avant de traverser au Nicaragua."

Santa Elena Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"This is a beautifully-crafted, very clean hotel. The staff are helpful and kind. Breakfast is cooked to order with beautiful trays of fresh fruit and excellent coffee. The grounds are lovely, and all around are huge, magnificent trees full of many birds. One one side of the hotel is a market, and on the order side is a very good restaurant. There are several beaches nearby, but my favorite beach is a short drive north in the wildlife refuge."

Rancho Costafalo

10/10 Excellent

"Rancho Costafalo is a unique and very special place. It is remote and is situated in an idyllic setting on a large farm with an amazing botanical garden with species of citrus, palms, and rare cacti and a large beautiful pond. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed out two-night stay at the ranch. The accommodations are somewhat rustic, but offer everything we needed, a clean bed, nice bathroom and a pleasant deck. The ranch is about a 20-minute drive from the Santa Rosa National Park, which is well worth a visit for its historic significance and nice paved trails. It is also about 10 minutes from a small town with all the amenities. If you visit, be sure to stop by the tiny De La Abuella restaurant for dinner. Allan, the owners, is nice, friendly and helpful. He was very generous with us because we had forgotten to take cash and he footed the bill for our dinner and we reimbursed him later. We have a place in Guanacaste near Playa Grande. We plan to visit the ranch again the next time we are in the area. Melvin, the attendant at the ranch was very nice, polite and helpful. "
