Very clean and simple room with a nice private balcony for our room. The property was beautifully landscaped with many varieties of trees and plants. It was a 5 minute walk down a steep hill to the main part of town. Excellent variety of options for the free breakfast, with fresh fruit, pancakes, eggs, and traditional Costa Rican food.
