Pros:

Lovely property, great staff, great breakfast, comfy bed, plenty of hot water

Cons:

It was quiet in town, which was convenient, but it was noisy. You could hear all the big trucks and motorcycles driving through town, which kinda ruined the vibe of the otherwise great ambiance

Buona struttura posizione centrale a Santa Elena emersa in un bel giardino
Pros:

Appartamento doppio con belo giardino, parcheggio disponibile e staff attento.

Cons:

Colazione basica, abbiamo dovuto cambiare stanza perché quella iniziale basica era disagevole e molto piccola. Con delle scale ripide di difficile acceso.

Un bel hôtel mais trop cher pour la prestation
Pros:

Hôtel idéalement positionné proche du centre ville, des restaurants et des activités. Le jardin est bien entretenu et les places de parking devant les bungalow sont bien pratiques.
Enfin un bon petit déjeuner varié avec du choix!!

Cons:

Pas de sèche cheveux, pas de climatisation, pas de prise à côté du lit. Les dimensions du lit trop petites. Une piscine manque vraiment après une journée de randonnée.
Hôtel un peu vieillot.
L’hôtel est trop cher versus la qualité globale de la prestation.

Pros:

Arco Iris Lodge is such a beautiful property! The grounds were a wonderful place to relax between activities and could not be more ideally situated. It felt immersed in nature but was a few minute walk from delicious food and shops. The lodge was perfect for our family of five. The room was very clean and the breakfast was delicious! Lastly, enough cannot be said about the staff at the lodge. They truly are exceptional! We discussed our itinerary with them, they helped arrange local transportation, and they gave wonderful suggestions to maximize our time in the area. They also really came through for us when we needed last minute transportation to our next lodging three hours away. They worked quickly to find us a driver, and we were on the road in just over an hour. We could not have been more thankful! Arco Iris Lodge exceeded our expectations!

Angenehmes Haus in ruhiger Anlage mit sehr gutem Frühstück
Pros:

Ein Haus in einer sehr gepflegten, ruhigen Anlage mit guter Fernsicht. Vogel- und Tierbeobachter können sich freuen. Das Dorfzentrum ist in 2 Minuten zu Fuss erreichbar. Großzügige Zimmer, ein geräumiges Bad, grosse Küche. Absolut top: Herausragende Qualität des Frühstücks - das beste, was wir in Costa Rica geniessen konnten.

Cons:

zwei Nöxhte lang haben Affen auf dem Baum über unserer Lodge Früchte auf das Blechdach geschmissen- ab Schlaf war nicht zu denken - darauf sollte auf der webseite hingewiesen werden
Ziemlicher Lärm von der Straße
