Pros:

The check-in process was a mess, there were not clear instructions provided beforehand (it was a self-check in). We couldnt locate the room easily and when we found it, it seemed like the room hadn’t been cleaned properly. The photos online did not match the current condition of the room. The bathroom was a shared bathroom that was outside and not clean. Of the few good things, the property was big and away from noise, with a lot of trees and nature.

Armando was very friendly and helpful, and made a nice breakfast in the morning! The area is a lush green forest so it really lives up to its name "Serenity by Nature"!

Pros:

We had a late flight coming into San Jose so I chose this hotel and I did not disappoint. It was 30 minutes from the airport. The owner was amazing. He cooked us breakfast in the morning. The place is very beautiful. I would highly recommend for the price.

Pros:

The property itself is beautiful but it could use some maintenance. Armando was very courteous and pleasant and provided a delicious breakfast. Check-in was a headache. We tried for over 2 hours but couldn't get a response from anyone on the property. It feels we wasted our 1st day after arriving in Costa Rica

Pros:

The only problem was no reall sign to know when you arrived, the gate is closed, and intercom didn’t work. We had to call to get someone to let us in. Didn’t speak any interest, but very nice. Breakfast was good.

Pros:

The concept is nice but the place still needs a lot of work. Being objective these are /-:


* Nice property grounds
* Rooms are ok size and clean
* Comfy mattress
* Simple but ok breakfast

-
* The place needs a restaurant so badly as there is nothing close to the hotel.
* The shower stopped working
* There is no front desk so you cannot call anyone for help and you have to open the gate yourself, this can be tricky. The staff is friendly but is literally 1 guy.
* A lots of maintenance work in progress in the rooms near by

Pros:

The Internet did not work, the TV didn’t work, there were bugs all over the house, and the owner was basically nonresponsive. I will never go to this place again. It was a horrible experience. Supposed to get breakfast at two nights I was there or two mornings I was there didn’t get anything
