    It’s in the very good location, also had a parking and separated little houses. Also the breakfast was pretty good. During our stay we saw a lot of wild life - monkeys, lizards and parrots!

    Very quaint and unique…what most are looking for when they think of a hotel in Costa Rica. Simple, clean accommodations in a great setting. Easy walk downhill to Quepos. You will get your daily workout walking back up (or take a cheap taxi ride)!
