If you want a unique experience in an absolutely gorgeous place you should spend a day or two here. Do not come if you are looking for the Hilton. The place is unlike any other other I have ever stayed at. The grounds are incredible. The rooms are fine but different. The breakfast is amazing. The owner is fascinating. Do... more

We stayed at this Inn for 1 night before we departed San Jose the next day and I have to say that it's in a league all its own. The Inn is amazing!! The architecture is interesting, aestetically it is beautiful and the grounds are stunning. We stayed in a room with a full size bed that was comfortable and... more

very nice place, we just got back from there, we only stayed one night will stay longer next time. They have no air-conditioning, but the nights are cool so we were OK. The breakfast is fantastic, made by the owner himself. We got there about 1pm and we were hungry however they told us the restaurant would not open before... more

What a great find in a beautiful country. We only stayed one night, but I wish we had stayed for more. This place has soul, which is lacking in the other, more expensive hotels we stayed in. The staff is friendly, and the food was superb. No A/C, but that's part of the real Costa Rica experience. Great wildlife sounds... more

I was so fortunate to find this hotel on tripadvisor. From the moment of our arrival, we were greeted with a friendly smile. I still cant believe the view we had from our room of the coffee and surrounding areas. The pool is fabulous and their onsite restaurant is wonderful too. The very much cater to Americans, so I really... more

Cafetal was our favorite hotel of the 4 we visited during our recent Costa Rica trip. We stayed in the bungalow for 1 night. It was spacious and new and clean. The grounds of the Cafetal are beautiful and the kids had fun exploring them (we saw a number of large iguanas). The breakfast was excellent (included in the rate)... more

My husband & I stayed here for 1 night. It was a very quiet & beautiful place, but it had no A/C. It is a very rustic place & at night I did find ants on the sofa in our room. The room itself was very clean & a good size. I loved just being out at night on the... more

Our family of five just stayed here for two nights arriving at 6am in San Jose. A driver met us at the airport and brought us to Cafetal (probably a 30 minute drive), in time to settle in to our two spacious and airy rooms, and then we were able to enjoy our sumptious breakfast! What a great way to... more

We stayed in a room above the restaurant overlooking the pool. Great views. Drive to get there was a bit scary up and down steep mountains. Room was noisy at night above restaurant. Very clean. Helpful staff. Included breakfast. Not much to do in the area. It was good for the one night that we stayed there. more
