Perfect place, great location
Pros:

amazing place, our room had a little terrace, so in the morning I went to the restaurant to look about breakfast and asked them if it would be ok to take it with me, to which they cordially agreed, we had breakfast at the terrace looking at the manicured grounds. Absolutely amazing.

Excelente
Pros:

El hotel es hermoso, tiene un encanto particular. La habitación amplia y cómoda. El personal de recepción sumamente amable y atento, creo que quien nos atendió se llama Jeffrey. El desayuno muy rico y las instalaciones muy lindas, como en las fotos!!!

Cons:

Nos hubiera gustado que la habitación tuviese una televisión más moderna, pantalla plana y con al menos una plataforma como Netflix, no tenía ninguna. No vimos televisión, solo había canales nacionales, y la pantalla no se veía bien.

Love this hotel - a real gem
Pros:

An absolute gem. We loved this hotel. It was our first trip to Costa Rica and we wanted a few nights together over the jet lag. Villa Los Candiles was perfect.
The rooms are large & beautifully clean with comfy beds and nice bathrooms.
Every room has either a balcony or a patio looking on to the gardens.
All the staff are super friendly and work really hard. We enjoyed the breakfasts & had a drink in the bar but didn’t have a chance to try dinner in the restaurant.
Location-wise,we were so glad we stayed in Santa Ana rather than San José. It’s a real locals’ town with adog park opposite the hotel. It’s a decent walk (- 20 mins) to the town centre particularly in the heat but we easily explored the town and had some food in the food court in the town centre.
