Because of the proximity to SJO airport, I booked this hotel as an "in-between" after a long travel day ... But what a surprise, this place is a little piece of heaven right outside the city! The hotel property is like it's own little secret National Park! Rooms have air conditioning via a mini-split and private patios looking over the grounds! Plenty of parking if you're renting a car. Very well kept with even some hiking trails! The restaurant is a lovely indoor/outdoor setting and we had some pretty incredible meals! The only thing I regret is not booking this place for longer! We will be back!
Excellent place to stay for a night on arrival as its only around 20 minutes from the airport. A lovely place to start our trip with a very authentic feel. We didn’t get to experience much as we were so tired after our flight but the breakfast was amazing. Price was excellent
The “Honeymoon Suite” with 1 king bed had a ton of space and a large outdoor terrace (it was on the second floor). The restaurant was good for both dinner and the included breakfast. It is on a busy road but feels secluded with the gate and large property.

Absolutely gorgeous property! Comfy rooms, beautiful views, great staff and really good food. We felt welcome and safe at the gated property. Kids also very thoroughly enjoyed the pool. Would definitely make this a #1 stay next time we come back.
Staff were very accommodating when we arrived at midnight after a delayed flight. Waking up to the beautiful garden grounds in the morning was a delight and the breakfast was delicious.
A little oasis about half an hour from the airport. A great place to spend our first night in Costa Rica instead of rushing off somewhere after our plane landed
Stayed here for one night before an early flight out of SJO. Property was a little bit run down but clean and the staff was very friendly. The restaurant was convenient and prices were very fair. Only complaint is that we could hear some road noise, and found lots of little critters in our room. Overall, great value for what we paid.
I loved how well we were treated. The resort staff ensured that we had a great room that best suited my family of 4 adults. The staff were helpful, the room was clean, the restaurant was great! Thank you for helping to make our trip amazing!
We reserved a room and spent 7 hours on the property before our midnight flight. We're so happy we did. We walked the trails on the property, enjoyed the pool, and had a lovely dinner in the restaurant. We thought the menu was great and reasonabley priced. It felt like a bonus vacation day.
We chose this as our first night in Costa Rica due to proximity to the airport (20min drive)
Lovely pool area and the food at the onsite restaurant is delicious and such good value.
Staff were helpful and approachable
We explored the onsite walking trails and the garden setting is lush and tropical.
Communication via email and with the staff onsite was excellent! They provided excellent customer service; very friendly, accommodating and welcoming! Nice cozy restaurant area and outdoor lights in the evening. Our room was perfect!
The food from the restaurant was excellent and reasonable. Staff was helpful. The grounds were fun to walk around on. Saw just a few birds but good birds. Visited in April.
A perfect stop for our last evening before catching an early flight home. Property is peaceful and beautiful, staff is very friendly and helpful, food at restaurant was surprisingly good. I would highly recommend as a stay.
