überteuert aber abgelegen und schöne Aussicht

Wunderschöne Aussicht. Ein bisschen überteuert für das was man bekommt. Die Unterkunft ist sehr einfach eingerichtet. Das Konzept der Dusch/Badewanne haben wir nicht verstanden. Beim Duschen kann einem das ganze Tal zugucken und zum Baden braucht man seeehr viel Geduld bis sich die xxl Badewanne auch nur halbwegs mit warmem Wasser gefüllt hat. Die Anfahrt ist relativ schwierig und sollte bei Tageslicht erfolgen. Das Frühstück wird im 300 m entfernten Restaurant serviert. Es gibt einen schönen Wanderweg dorthin. Oder man läuft auf der Hauptstrasse. Insgesamt war die Unterkunft schön, aber mit 85 dollar überteuert.

Relaxing Getaway

This was a quiet getaway for us and we were satisfied. Great view and a terrific staff. There isn’t much sound insulation and we had a few maintenance issues that were fixed immediately. WiFi worked best near office (units 1-3) and lesser for ours (7-10). Worst part was waiting for the breakfast at 8am (too late for us). Same meal each day. It is cool there. We enjoyed it overall. We loved exploring the area (waterfalls all over). Helped us book tours too!

The view was amazing. Rooms have a kitchenette. We had quite a storm for 2 days and it was rather loud in the room due to the metal roof.

Demasiado ruido

Hizo un viento muy fuerte, y aparte de la neblina y el frío en el lugar, latas del techo sonaron toda la noche, imposibilitando poder dormir.

View is amazing

The view is amazing and incomparable. Yes there is a restaurant but it is about half mile from the hotel. The food and service were very good though. We could not get the instant electric hot water shower to work. The drive from Sarchi was very steep and curvy but great views.

No hay Internet, la ballera de hidromasaje funciona con agua de la ducha, la cual al caer y permanecer ahí 30 segundos ya está congelada. El tv sólo funciona con canales nacionales, no ofrecen cable. Lo peor, se escuchaba todo lo que hacían o no hacían los inquilinos de la habitación contigua

The hotel itself was nice, the staff very friendly and helpful, and the views were gorgeous. However, the location on Expedia is a bit off, it's about 2km further south, at 10°09'53.5"N, 84°18'59.8"W. The road where Expedia shows the hotel is actually currently closed. While 2km might not sound like much, it's 2km of mountain road that's not in the best condition (the same road leads to Bajos del Toro). Also, you may see signs that route 708 is closed, but it is not, and much nicer to drive on than the alternative route.

A little rustic but beautiful views

The owner was very hospitable. Not so good at English but put a lot of effort into making sure we understood what he was saying. View was gorgeous (somewhat cloudy up high). The room itself was interesting. Floors were thin so the cold air from the wind went thru them..metal roof was also super noisy at night, but maybe just bad weather. No hot water. No wifi in room. Restaurant was great. Our host there spoke much better English and the view there was great as well.

Me, my husband and our two small children visited this hotel for a few days, unfortunally we were there when the weather was really bad, the wind was terrifying during the night and it was very cold. The windows didnt really block out the cold wind, and in the mornings there were no electricity. The staff and everybody at the restaurant are really very friendly, eventough we cant really speak or understand alot of spanish and they dont speak or understand english we found a way to communicate and they were very accommodating

Away from the noise and hustle bustle

If you want isolation away from the city you find it here. Just off the Divide it is windy and chilly at night. Pack accordingly. Staff is first rate.
