The hotel has very nice grounds and nice view, the closes place is Montanita which is about 10 minutes by bus. When I arrived I was the only guest. The help does not speak any English .
The owners are very nice. They come there for the weekend. I had problems with Mosquitos, no hot water. No water, and no electricity. The room I stayed in had very small windows. They have a great breakfast. You should come here only if you have a car

Great views from the hosteria
It is very quiet there, but it is close to Montanita and other small towns on the coast. Have to take a taxi or a bus to go into any towns. There is not much in the imediate area. If you like isolation and the country side it's a good place to go.
Al llegar al lugar me indicaron que ya no tenía reserva que tenían el local a tope desde hace 15 días... me devolvieron el valor de la reserva pero perdí 1 hora que pude haber disfrutado con mi familia
EL PRECIO DEMASIADO ALTO PARA EL TIPO DE HOSPEDAJE QUE ES

Un lugar sencillo y agradable
Viaje hasta San José (Olon) por el matrimonio de un familiar, por éste motivo, no permanecí mucho tiempo en Happy Hill, puedo expresar que el hostel se presenta con un entorno muy natural, amplios espacios, parqueos, wifi, dormi bien, me duche con agrado y desayune bien.
Muy buena relación costo - servicio. Desayuno excelente y abundante. Atención sobresaliente de los empleados. La vista desde el balcón para desayunar es muy agradable. Piscina siempre disponible y limpia.
