This environmentally sustained boutique hotel was a sheer delight. The design of the former manor makes every spacious room feel private and it gave us the sense we were the only ones there. Our room overlooked a small courtyard/garden that was the home to several unusual birds - delightful. The restaurant sat in the middle of the hotel and had... More

Great boutique hotel. Lovely colonial design with beautiful woodwork. The restaurant is in the center of the building and you can enjoy meals alfresco. The food was wonderful. Our room was spacious and clean. The rental car agency even dropped our rental car there. There's a good reason why this place is rated #1.

First night in Costa Rica . Stayed for dinner and it was a very good , high standard food and special setting . The hotel rooms are nice and clean but not more than that . Staff very nice. The lobby also special but the overall experience is not necessarily one of going back.
