Absolutely gorgeous property! Comfy rooms, beautiful views, great staff and really good food. We felt welcome and safe at the gated property. Kids also very thoroughly enjoyed the pool. Would definitely make this a #1 stay next time we come back.

Staff were very accommodating when we arrived at midnight after a delayed flight. Waking up to the beautiful garden grounds in the morning was a delight and the breakfast was delicious.
This was a quiet, relaxing place to stay after a long travel day. The restaurant was very good, too.

A little oasis about half an hour from the airport. A great place to spend our first night in Costa Rica instead of rushing off somewhere after our plane landed

Tropical garden near the airport
We chose this as our first night in Costa Rica due to proximity to the airport (20min drive)
Lovely pool area and the food at the onsite restaurant is delicious and such good value.
Staff were helpful and approachable
We explored the onsite walking trails and the garden setting is lush and tropical.

Stayed here for one night before an early flight out of SJO. Property was a little bit run down but clean and the staff was very friendly. The restaurant was convenient and prices were very fair. Only complaint is that we could hear some road noise, and found lots of little critters in our room. Overall, great value for what we paid.

We reserved a room and spent 7 hours on the property before our midnight flight. We're so happy we did. We walked the trails on the property, enjoyed the pool, and had a lovely dinner in the restaurant. We thought the menu was great and reasonabley priced. It felt like a bonus vacation day.
