We arrived late and left early, but the owners were very helpful. They greeted us at our car with an umbrella, and provided a service of pizza and salad. The room was comfortable and a good size, and had everything you need. It’s out of the way but it was fine for us as we had a vehicle. We would consider staying again so that we could explore the property.

Matt went above and beyond to not only make sure we had transportation from the airport to the hotel but he set us up with transportation to where we needed to go the next day. Seriously made my stay allllll that much more enjoyable and smooth sailing. Seriously couldn’t thank them enough. Even his kids are well mannered and helpful! Great family, and family business they have!

The couple that runs this place are both kind and helpful. The grounds are lovely! If you're looking for a place to stay before or after the airport, it's a way to continue to get the beautiful nature offered by Costa Rica but still be very close to the airport (and a shuttle is provided!).
