“Nicest people, sweet place, great breakfast and pool!!”
The staff, especially Gilbert and the women who make the breakfast and clean, are wonderful! The pool is lovely, the shady plants in between the rooms, the service..all really lovely. The breakfast is great too. They went out of their way for us, ensuring we had a blender for soups and smoothies as I’m recovering from an illness and need simple food. They took care of a small batch of laundry on the house, because we were there for 10 days. The rooms are like little apartments-you’ve got a basic kitchen, table and sofa.

“A comfortable stay, one night, 15 minutes walk from the beach”
We had a very pleasant room away from the street on the upper floor. Everything was very new and the room absolutely clean and comfortable. The air-conditioning was well installed and did not cause a draft. Breakfast was excellent.

Beautiful grounds, hummingbirds in the trees/flowers visible from the balcony. Comfortable beds, great sized apartment and nice to amble down towards Uvita beach (easy, flat 15-20 minutes walking). Breakfast was great and the dinner options were good and delicious when they came. The pool was lovely. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful, Gilberto even double checked our shuttle was coming when we were checking out without us asking. Just lovely staff and a great place to stay. Pura vida!
