Peaceful & beautiful place to stay before our flight
Pros:

It was a relaxing & beautiful place to stay before our flight home. The bedrooms were very comfortable. We enjoyed their fabulous garden & saw hummingbirds. The hosts prepared a delicious & generous breakfast & couldn’t be more helpful.

Beautiful property, lovely hosts
Pros:

The view! Lovely. The little garden was so pretty. We only stayed one night but we wish we could have stayed and enjoyed the patio and rocking chairs much longer. My daughter enjoyed the jacuzzi tub in the room. Breakfast was beautiful and fresh and drinks in the evening with our host Ken and the other guests was a highlight! Ken has some amazing stories.

Cons:

There is a picture of a small pool on the property but I think that must be associated with one room because it was not shown to us on our tour. That might be a disappointment if you are expecting that with kids. The jacuzzi made up for it though!

Pros:

Alejandra was extremely attentive and made our last day in Costa Rica truly pleasant. She gave us plenty of helpful tips and went out of her way to ensure we made the most of our time there.
The location is quiet and beautiful, yet conveniently only about 30 minutes from the airport

Absolutely marvelous property and hosts.
Pros:

What an incredibly beautiful property and buildings. The hosts were so gracious and provided information about their property and surrounding area from restaurants to hikes. The breakfast was delicious, accommodating my vegan diet and my three friends who are not! Very clean, comfortable and beautiful.
