We had to pay for air-condition for the two bedroom. I would never stay there and I would not recommend this hotel

A wonderful hotel

Pros: Free breakfast, lovely grounds
Not just a Costa Rica hotel, but an introduction to the wonderful birds of Costa Rica. The huge garden area is a haven for many wonderful hummingbirds, motmots, wrens, thrushes, and parrots.
