La Colonia Holiday Rentals

"So wonderful to come back to this magical place. Thanks to Emmanuel, Davis and Arlin, who guided me, scheduled events, they even got me a great ride back to the airport with Henry (at 4:30 AM -- thanks Denis and Davis!) who became my tour guide as we drove in the early morning via the scenic La Virgin pathway. At the resort, wonderful jungle trails, birds-- green macaws, parrots, kingfishers,--- colors and birdsong, river scenes, forest-bathing, Lots of jungle and river activities. While staying there, everyone was very cheerful, helpful and friendly. Eleodoro introduced me to his local family. A cooking class with extended family shared their personal knowledge of Costa Rica's past days. I learned the most ways to eat chocolate during the chocolate tour. Wish I knew everyone else's names to thank them all -- Sergio who knows about all those mushrooms, Dona Maria who enhanced my headgear, Liz and Bianca and the housekeeping team, Ulysses who escorted me in rain, Aidan assisting in every way... Chilimate a magical place!"

"Room very comfortable and clean. Everything worked perfectly. Breakfast was very good. Gated, so it's safe. The amenities were particularly notable, because the hotel is attached to a local country club so there's an Olympic pool with a waterslide, a second pool, a great hot tub, a very good gym, a poolside bar and lounging area, even a tennis court. Hotel Suerre provides a reasonably priced stopover point in an industrial town for those traveling between tourist destinations."
