"We really loved our stay at this adorable B&B! The staff was very friendly and helpful, breakfast out on their deck was amazing. We wish we had more time here!"
"Lovely brand new hotel on a hillside overlooking the main center of Santa Elena. Beautiful clean rooms with clean water and bathrooms, new construction, 5 minute walk to town. The hosts are lovely and welcoming, providing advice to guests on all sorts of things. Communal breakfast in the morning is great too! Most of all, this property is run by a non-profit that supports children's education, so it's great to contribute to the cause by staying here."

"This property is so beautiful with all the natural springs and views of the volcano.. it’s my second time staying there and each time I keep experiencing something new. I can’t wait to go again. "
"Amazing views of Arenal volcano!! Staff provided excellent hospitality and went above and beyond for anything that was requested. Stayed 5 nights as we toured the area. Hot springs are nice and the food was top notch. Check in and out was a breeze. Even gave us a complimentary lunch one day. The flora and fauna kept us engaged and the pool are is cool. Great trip to Costa Rica and Arenal Manoa made it happen."
