    A good location in downtown Turrialba. The staff were helpful and friendly and we made use of the outdoor common areas - a backyard garden and a rooftop deck. We liked the clean kitchen. The property is somewhat idiosyncratic, about half-way between a hotel and a hostel. I think they were transitioning to a hotel during our visit. We, a couple, had a dorm room with two bunk beds and a private bath across the hall; a bit unusual but the facilities were fine.

    Great location in the middle of nature. The lovely natural pool and it was nice to have the river so close. The breakfast was okay, with good options to choose from.

    Unbeatable location, very isolated. Nice architecture of the bungalow, with terrace all around. Also mosquito-net all around. Also great covered viewing platform some 100 meters up, where we saw toucans in the morning. Very friendly owner. If you are not comfortable with driving on a steep gravel road, you can leave your car safely next to the main road, and the owner will bring you with his car.

    Great location with most welcoming and friendly hosts. The cabin was nice - with an exceptional view directly from bed and the hammock. The pool is small but very refreshing and we even spot tucans in the morning.

    Great location, very easy to find. we were able to park our car within the hotel gates so it was safe for the night. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean, the beds comfortable and the hotel has a nice roof terrace where you can lounge after a long drive and enjoy the view of the city.
