Nice hotel located at the top of a hill

Nice hotel located in Tilaran. Perfect location if you want to visit Arenal and Monteverde. Tilaran has the same distance to both. The hotel is located on top of a hill. At night you can hear the sound of the strong wind which is amazing if you like that. Breakfast is included. And it is delicious as they served the typical breakfast of Costa Rica.

Nice little motel surrounded by beautiful hillside and jungle. Not much around in the vicinity so it was helpful to have a rental car. We didn’t enjoy the pool as it looked a little cloudy. Clean but definitely showing its age. Beds were comfy and we had a good sleep.

Rooms were clean, but a little upkeep/maintenance/bedding could be worked on. The only reason we booked this place was because it was the only one with a pool in that area - and the pool was not turned on for circulation and use until after 5pm

Phantom premise billing...

The hotel was average. That said our sleep was ruined when informed we owed an additional $50 for reserving only 1 person.We provided receipt for 2 people and was ignored we still owe $50. We were informed the free breakfast did not include his $6 tax per person. We left without breakfast or checking out to avoid the deceitful business practices.
