Chose this place because of an abundance of good reviews.Room we got doesn’t look like any of the pictures posted on Expedia.Side lamps are seen in photos of the rooms yet there were no side lamps in our room. There is also not enough natural light so you are stuck using the bright main lights which was more of an inconvenience than one would assume.One bed was comfortable and the other had a hard mattress that you can feel every spring through. No shelves in bathroom or place in shower to put toiletries. Cheapest 1 ply toilet paper on the planet, unlike the other hotels we’ve stayed at in Costa Rica. Noticed security guard just staring at me as I walked around the grounds which didn’t make me feel very welcome.Security guard came and told me to turn off my outside light. Why is that their business? I’m paying to stay here.Staff suggested we turn off the air conditioning when we are not in the room-again we are paying to stay here and are on vacation.It’s mentioned in the booking info, but it’s bizarre that the more you pay, the less you get. For instance breakfast being charged to a room with a full kitchen because you have the ability to cook. The pools are nice but they turn off the artificial waterfalls during the day for some reason. No jacuzzi as mentioned. Says no pets allowed but every time we opened our door the owner’s animals (two cats and a dog) were there begging for food. Cat would pull screen door open and run under the beds and we had to get him out each time.

The property is in close proximity to the volcano, which is the only positive. The AC kept leaking throughout the night, onto the bed and the night stand. The bed itself is the worst I have ever slept on, it caved in and creaked and rattled like an ancient cot, leaving me with a terrible back ache. There is no blanket on the bed and the one they had on the shelf was old and dusty. There’s a fan but it doesn’t work. The bloody curtains are see through. Who in their right minds would install a freaking see through curtain in a hotel room?! AVOID this place at all costs. Go somewhere else. This place is a joke.

We had a lovely stay! The property is right in the forest with a beautiful garden where we saw tree frogs, hummingbirds and other wildlife. The owner has cats who are very friendly. The walls are thin so you can sometimes hear your neighbours but it didn’t bother us much. Thank you for having us!
