My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms are very spacious and well-equipped, and I even had a little kitchenette with a fridge containing complimentary soft drinks. The views of San Jose and Alajuela from the balcony were stunning. However, the lack of air conditioning was a bit of a downside.

The location in a former coffee plantation, created by a US architect & his designer wife, was wonderful. The gardens were the best I've seen in Costa Rica on this trip, and the proximity to the airport was unbeatable.

Staying in a separate bungalow with a spectacular view of the valley west of San Jose, I enjoyed the enormity of the room, complete with lovely large patios offering mesmerizing city lights at a distance. The unique touch of wonderful original art scattered around added to the charm. Though the rooms were okay, they didn't reach the level of greatness I had expected.

The service was nice and helpful overall, typical for Costa Rica, though not as personalized as seen in some other places. The staff was always incredibly friendly and accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure a perfect stay. However, it felt very uninvolved and casual at times.
Location

Perched on a steep hillside with pathways on the property and private security, the location offered amazing food, breathtaking views, and adorable spacious rooms. However, it was slightly removed from the main attractions of the country, lacking in sufficient staff presence and convenient amenities like a mini-bar for natural juices and snacks.
Dining

The dining experience was great with a good selection, including homemade banana bread and granola bars. The buffet choice was satisfactory but could use more variety of bread and maybe include a local favorite like gallo pinto.

Wow, this hotel was a gem! The rooms were beautiful with an amazing view, quite large, clean, and well-maintained. They were very spacious, with two separate beds, each smaller than a king bed but larger than a single bed. The location was breathtaking, only 9km from the airport, featuring the best gardens in all of the places we have visited in Costa Rica during this trip. The dining was great with a good choice including home-made banana bread and granola bars. On the downside, the service, though nice and helpful overall, was standard for Costa Rica and slightly detracted from a potentially enjoyable stay.

I was truly captivated by the mesmerizing view from the balcony in my room, making it a delightful spot to relax. The hotel boasts stunning views of the valley, truly inviting me to spend endless hours admiring the beauty around.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel nestled in the jungle with stunning views. The rooms were comfortable and well-furnished, offering a private terrace to enjoy the picturesque jungle vistas. However, more lighting for reading at night and additional seating would have been appreciated. The service was exceptional, with attentive staff members like Diana in the restaurant and Marianna at reception making our stay memorable. The location was simply breathtaking, surrounded by lush gardens and cascading waterfalls within the premises. The dining experience was delightful, with mouthwatering dishes complemented by a mesmerizing view of the San Jose valley.
