Relaxing and happy time

Reviewed Mar 8, 2024
Very welcoming and friendly hotel
Our bedroom was spotless, shower was good and travel to the beach by car very easy.
Gardens were pretty and we were visited at the pool by howlers and several species of birds.
We arrived worn out after a long drive and felt at home immediately

      This spot is everything you need and more. It's gorgeous,clean and a friendly place to stay. You won't be disappointed. Erin is super friendly and will ensure your stay is perfecto✔. I fell in love as we stopped to have a bite to eat and so will you...
      1. Beach in play Carillo is 7 -10 min drive from location
      2. Has a pool and lounge chairs for chillin.
      3. The best part your rooms are like studios with there own private front deck / lounge area.
      4. Do you need a car? Buses do pass the location not necessary but if you want to explore on your own clock rent one.
      5. The food is very good and well priced. The chef is amazing.
      6. Cost is comparable so book now don't waste your time shopping around to get left out.
      4. Try the Crispy onion rings they are SLAMMIN
      5.You will love it... PURA VIDA

      If we were able to, we would rate it higher than five stars for rooms, service, and of course, location. First night in Costa Rica, and after a full day of traveling, how sweet to be able to stay in this special little paradise. Erin was above and beyond any host we could imagine. She is super friendly, so helpful, made sure we had absolutely everything we needed. We couldn’t have asked for more. The place is pristine, well-kept, clean and beautiful. This is their first season open since complete renovation, and Erin and Drew have done an incredible job. I’m going to tell everyone I know about this little spot.

      Great little spot that is tucked away from the more crowded areas of Carrillo and Samara, but close enough to the beaches and landmarks you may want to visit. It was well maintained when we were there, but there are some insects around, because of the location. Pool, restaurant, and bar area were very nice. Howler monkeys came up very close. Had a very good typical breakfast! Ask Drew for the special hot pepper juice jar.
