Reviews
The room was clean, but not at all sound proof and close to the bar - we were woken several times. In the morning we dropped the key, then returned before checkout time for breakfast - but while the reservation included breakfast, the lady in charge of breakfast refused to honor the booking, which is ridiculous. Don’t checkout before you had breakfast!
Nice place to stay, good showers and close to some good places to dine. Not far from Poas entry. Not particularly a place to stay if wanting to experience the Costa Rica with good views, quiet space and windows that open. But for a quick stay, recommended.
Great service and friendly staff. A great stay that is mid way to head to the Volcano Poas or La Paz Waterfall. Met the owner Amit and a genuine person who loves and cares for his staff and the overall environment/ambiance. Highly recommend!
This is an excellent choice to stay on your way to Poas Volcano or La Paz Waterfall and Gardens. The owner, previously from Colorado, loves working in the garden and is thrilled to share his love of gardening. The room was lovely and clean. I used the fire place in the room, as it was a but colder here than I was expecting.
