La Quinta was very nice. It had nature paths, butterfly gardens, frog areas, and was right next to a nice river. The pool was nice, and occupied by a very large lizard- or was when i was there. the staff was very nice and all spoke english. The room seemed secluded and private, they all have a patio with a hammock. It was very relaxing and the indigenous plant life was beautiful. There wasn't an air conditioner, but it was very open. I would suggest river rafting and zipline tours with aventuras del sarapiqui they were both very fun!

Not quite we expected mainly because web and brochures had horseback riding onsite listed , but they had discontinued this. the owners and staff very friendly & helpful. very easy to set up tours to all different attractions in the area. Rooms were sparse but comfortable.Try to book a cabin on the outside area,One of the highlights was sitting outside every morning watching the squirrels fight over the coconuts,also having breakfast watching the birds feed on the fruits setup around the patio. Foodaverage usually served buffet style.If you're looking for a laidback relaxing not into the beach and want to see an amazing variety of fauna this is a great placeto spend a few days. If you do go see if the sloth is still living beside the pool. We are going back to Costa Rica in Apr 06 and will be staying here for a few days to recharge

This was our fourth hotel in Costa Rica and it was the only one I wish I hadn't picked. The rooms are really big and have a nice porch into the garden with some rocking chairs and a hammock, which is a nice arrangement (although it was right next to another room's porch area, so not very private). The rooms are very sparse--white walls and not much in the way of decoration or atmosphere--and the walls are extremely thin. We could hear our neighbors' every word. The beds are comfortable but there was no mattress pad below the thin sheet, which could be improved upon. I was also confused about the rate--we had been told that we were getting a $69 rate with breakfast but when we checked out we were charged for breakfast--which might have meant that we were charged less for the room, but I didn't really want to haggle them over $20. We also had no idea if or how much we were charged for the dinner buffet, so we just ate there (it was $10 each for dinner). None of this would have been so problematic other than the fact it isn't clear how much the meals were (it should be part of the initial information at check-in since they put your name on a table for each meal like it is reserved for you and you never sign anything saying you've eaten the meal and it is okay to charge it to your room), except that the food leaves a lot to be desired, especially for the price. So the rooms were okay, but for the price in Costa Rica I think that you can find a better place to stay. It seemed to be very popular with tourist groups, which is probably the best audience for the hotel, but made it that much less attractive to us.

My wife and I just spent a few days at La Quinta. We found the facility and the staff to be warm and accommodating. Many staff spoke English. The meals are buffet style. The choices are varied and plentiful. The grounds are well tended top and include a butterfly garden, ponds, trails and a few lovely spots to sit and watch birds, read, chaqt or daydream.
This was one of four places we stayed at and found it to be the most enjoyable.
