I have made this hotel my headquarters while in Costa Rica for several reasons: The climate in Atenas is reputed to be the best in the world; and although you get more "luxury" at, say, a Marriott, you don't get the warmth or the casual, very friendly atmosphere of the hotel, the personable and attentive staff and the excellent food....

I love this place. The gardens are gorgeous, there is a huge pool, a really nice restaurant bar and the staff and owner are super nice and helpful. The rooms have little kitchenettes, so if you want to have your special teas or extras in the fridge or even venture to cook, the option is there. But I would highly... More

Colinas del Sol offers cabins that are bright, and clean, with a private lanai and hammock situated in gorgeous lush established gardens. Brigitta and her staff are hospitable and friendly, creating a relaxed but professional atmosphere. The food at the restaurant is delicious and good value at reasonable prices. I would recommend a stay at Colinas del Sol to anyone... More

We stayed for 5 nights while visiting the area and mostly enjoyed ourselves -- we should have attended karaoke night rather than trying to sleep through it. We needed to be in Atenas, and there are not a lot of options actually close to town. We were on a hurried trip and arrived stressed out and on a treadmill agenda,... More

We stayed for 3 weeks in Jan as part of an excellent tour. Hotel is basic, but clean, staff very friendly and helpful. The grounds are nice and it is nice and cool at night. Restaurant is fairly good with good prices. Taxi to Atenas is only $2 US
