"Because of the proximity to SJO airport, I booked this hotel as an "in-between" after a long travel day ... But what a surprise, this place is a little piece of heaven right outside the city! The hotel property is like it's own little secret National Park! Rooms have air conditioning via a mini-split and private patios looking over the grounds! Plenty of parking if you're renting a car. Very well kept with even some hiking trails! The restaurant is a lovely indoor/outdoor setting and we had some pretty incredible meals! The only thing I regret is not booking this place for longer! We will be back!"

"Mixed Experience – Beautiful Views but Disappointing Conditions The property itself is a beautiful home with stunning views, but unfortunately, our stay was not pleasant overall. The location is quite remote—far from restaurants and not well lit at night—which made it difficult to find upon arrival. While the home has great potential, we encountered several cleanliness and maintenance issues. When we arrived, the house had a significant bug problem, including roaches, termites, ants, and mosquitoes. Additionally, the bed sheets in the master bedroom did not appear clean, which was very disappointing. With better upkeep and attention to cleanliness, this home could offer a truly wonderful stay, but as it stands, we wouldn’t return."

"We love the beach access and amenities "

"El Silencio Lodge & Spa is an excellent retreat for a solo traveler. 5 star treatment across the board. The staff were welcoming and helpful. They took care of my every need. This property offered everything from food, drinks, spa, outdoor experiences, complimentary amenities and wellness activities all on-site. I felt safe and secure in this luxury environment that far exceeded my expectations. Best foodie experience ever!"
