Luscious garden and comfortable

We had a great time! I've stayed at other hotels in the area that were more fancy or expensive, but this one actually beat them and there were no bugs entering our room! The views were nice and the garden was beautiful; many areas to rest and take pictures.

This property was perfect for our family of four (two young children). We loved the pools and hot tubs, and the many animal sightings (cows grazing in the field next door, an iguana high up on a tree). Our room was clean, as was the property. Breakfast is included which was delicious and changed daily. The property is within walking distance to several restaurants.

The property was veey nice, the exterior needed much needed updating as mold was all over the staircase clear wall. The room was nice, minus fact shower didnt get hot. But the hot tub watwr and sink water was scolding hot just as i like it. But yhe tub/jacuzzi didnt work there were never any bubbles. We called it in but in 6 days never got fixed.

Our stay was amazing. We stayed for a week and we had an activity everyday and was very good for proximity- the most far away activity was 30 minutes for the hanging bridges. Overall an excellent stay for a family of 4 and 2 kids under 10. Would come back here again but there are others areas of Cista Rica we would explore.
