The room was basically a small private bungalow with a unique feature: an outside toilet and bathroom in that it was part of the small outside garden but sealed off from view. I thought this was amusing though I can imagine some might find it bizarre. Another interesting feature were the birds visible when eating breakfast. I don't believe in feeding the wildlife but it was a pleasure to see so many birds including a few Aras (red parrots). We saw more there than in any of the parks. Breakfast was good and the pizza was good too...made by an Italian so it had to be. Great stopover place when travelling from the north pacific coast to the south atlantic coast.

Wauw!! What an amazing place! Located on a hill with views of the forrest towards the sea. Big spacious room which was perfect for us (family of 4) Staff was very friendly. Tarcoles, was for us a stop on our way to Manuel Antonio, but the place is definitely worth staying more nights.

We had the small house next to the pool with the lounge outside, which was so beautiful. You look at the pool when you wake up. Breakfast is delicious. The only thing I want to say is "excellent" in everything you could possibly wish. We felt like in tropical heaven.

Fantastic place, high standard (furniture, bed, shower etc) with amazing view, room and pool area. The hostess, Marie, took very well care of us, providing a welcome tray with drinks, fruits and pasteries), and an excellent breakfast (best we had in CR). This is such a chill place, the only thing we heard was the Ara parrots flying by. I give this place my highest recommendations.

The room was spacious, beautifully designed and super clean. We really liked the restaurant, both the food and the staff - Helmer and Mario were super nice! We booked the hotel last minute because our first choice turned out to be terrible. We didn't regret it, loved the place!
