The host was very friendly. I contacted him prior to my arrival since I was not 100% sure if the road conditions would allow my bus to be in time and therefore, if I would be in time for the designated check-in times. He told me not to worry about it. (In the end, I was on time.) He also offered booking of e.g. a guided night tour in Monteverde forest. I took him up on that offer and the tour was a great recommendation by him (I almost booked it twice since I liked it so much). Finally, the little veranda with a sunset view of the Gulf was a nice touch!

José is such a nice person, always willing to help - he arranged for us all the attractions, and also the shuttle to the airport. Also the location of the hotel is very good, within a five-minute walk you have everything you need (coffee shop, restaurants and mini market). The view from the parking lot is amazing, it has one of the best sunsets you will ever see.

Overall I would recommend this place. A couple of random things affected how we felt.

Very basic breakfast on Day 1. Better on Day 2. Staff are nice. Good parking and very accessible. Lovely view with lots of birds in the morning.

A cabin with a view, and so much more.

Breakfast was great and you had options. The cook even got up early one morning so I could eat before my tour. All I had to do was ask and they helped me set up shuttles to my tours. At the last moment they even set me up with a night tour. The cabins were clean. The bed was comfortable. A bakery, connivence store and restaurants are within walking distance or a 2min. drive. There is also a spectacular view.
