    Good roads but narrow as usual thru towns.

    Good roads but narrow as usual thru towns. Different landscape with the farms and greenhouses and coffee plantations in rolling hills. Waterfalls. Loved the drifting clouds coming up the valleys in the evening. Cool evenings and warm days.

    We went to La Paz Waterfall gardens and it was an amazing place. You could easily spend an entire day there. Also the area is known for strawberries. We bought some from a roadside stand and they were delicious.

    This was a great stopping place for us and is close to La Paz, Poas Volcano, and Doka Coffee Plantation. We stayed here after visiting La Paz Waterfall Gardens (which is worth the cost to visit), and then just had a short drive to Poas the following morning. We only stayed one night, and didn't get to visit the town, but its location is perfect for a stopover while visiting the nearby sites.

    The villas were adorable!

    The villas were adorable! We loved our short stay but the wifi would not let us let our families know we had arrived safely. If you plan to leave early to travel more, the check out time is 9 am- not 7am! The staff member who spoke English was very kind and accommodating!

    We had our anniversary here and they made it amazing. They worked with me to arrange to have chocolate covered strawberries and meats and cheeses and an incredible fruit platter brought to the room as a surprise. The bathroom is one of the most unique bathrooms ever with a waterfall in the shower. The outside hot tub was a great way to start each day. Loved this place and they were so friendly. Don’t miss the frog tour at night. It was a highlight.

    Loved the views, as it describes, it truly is panoramic! Very spectacular views all around the property. The host, Tomas was exceptional in all aspects; with such warmth, we truly felt at home. He went above and beyond in ensuring our stay was comfortable and even ensured our onwards journey is taken care of, in terms of providing key insights and tips of where to eat, etc for the best experience for our very first Costa Rica trip.

    Excellent hotel situated on a beautiful piece of property close to great nearby attractions like Poas Volcano and La Paz Waterfall Gardens. Breakfast and dinner were both delicious and the staff was very accommodating for all of our needs. Whether seeing local sights, hiking on the hotel's trails, playing complimentary games, or entertaining the hotel cat Misinga it was a great stay!

    This hotel is a heaven on earth. I would definitely recommend it if you are in the area. The rooms are spacious and quite. Breakfast was great but you should also try their dinner menu - everything we tried was delicious. There are many areas in the property where you can enjoy the views and nature. Try their own walking trails on the property!

    Lovely location, with trails around the property. Independent family run hotel. For warmer days there were outdoor facilities (BBQ grill, swimming pool, games). Onsite restaurant was open for dinner and again for breakfast. There was also a fridge in reception with water/soft drinks/milk/snacks for purchase.

    The hotel is super family-friendly, you can play minigolf, volleyball, and even badminton. They have farm animals that you can watch and even touch, also they have a nice trail that ends in a river. A really good place to stay for a family vacation

    It’s a beautiful place on the hill. It’s very close to La Paz garden. The staff was very friendly. The breakfast was tasty. The dining area was very nice. The cabinet was cute and cozy with privacy. And you can park your car in front of the cabin.
