Sehenswerte Abwechslung von Vegetation und Klima (nachts wirds kalt).
Pros:

Tolle Lage, toller Garten, warme Dusche, viele schöne Möglichkeiten, um mit tollem Blick zu sitzen - drinnen und draußen. Nettes Personal.

Cons:

Nicht schlimm, nur anders als erwartet: Es wurde uns freier Kaffee und Tee angekündigt. Im Zimmer gab es allerdings nur eine Kaffeemaschine, keinen Wasserkocher.

Pros:

Es un sitio especial, muy tranquilo, con mucha variedad de pájaros que te alegran la estancia. Junto al volcán Turrialba y de camino hacia el Irazú, nos vino muy bien como punto intermedio viniendo de Cahuita hacia el aeropuerto al día siguiente. El personal muy agradable y el desayuno fenomenal. La zona en general merece la pena de verdad. Y la habitación limpia, cómoda y con unas vistas espectaculares.

Cons:

Nada destacable

Beautiful location and setting
Pros:

Beautiful property with lots of gardens and many birds. The interior is also really pretty, and the views. The staff were really nice. We really enjoyed our stay.

Cons:

The bed linens were thin and plastic-y, and the mattresses weren't that comfortable. No heating - it is cold at night in the mountains so expect that the temperature in the room to be pretty much like outside, same in the restaurant. The breakfast buffet was not great as other commenters point out. However the location, gardens, and views made up for these inconveniences.
