A fantastic location just outside San Jose, which made for a superb location first few days in Costa Rico. Close to Poas volcanoe La Paz waterfalls and the fantastic Cinchona waterfall trails. Staff absolutely first class; warm welcome and extremely helpful. One bag failed to arrive with oyr party - staff so helpful to ensure airline delivered to chalets within 36 hours.

Everything about the stay was perfect. The room was clean and very cute. The property the hotel is on is beautiful with a gorgeous view. The best part however was the staff and owners themselves. They were beyond accommodating. Norm, found out we were leaving early and made us sandwiches to go. The Christmas decorations were beyond warming and the restaurant had the most delicious food! I highly recommend staying here.

The individual chalets were adorable. The breakfast included was hardy and delish. They are also a restraunt and the dinner food was excellent. They are in a convenient location to get to La Paz waterfall gardens and Poas volcano. Used their laundry service that was wonderful. Everyone there was super friendly and helpful. I would def stay there again.
