    The walk up to the restaurant was uphill a little, which was a challenge for me, but the beauty of the B and B grounds made up for it.

    We stayed in the Butterfly Room. it was lovely. Breakfast was very good. Monika and Rob, the hosts, were very friendly and helpful.

    The walk from the rooms to the breakfast is beautiful. The breakfast was served on a patio overlooking the property. There were humming birds and toucans to watch as we enjoyed our breakfast and chats with the other guests. There is an adjacent store that sells locally made products as well. There was homemade soap in the bathroom.

    This is a beautiful property just outside of town and about 30-40 minutes from La Fortuna (on a good road!) It is filled with gorgeous plants and birds, very tranquil. We could hear howler monkeys and birds early in the morning! The capacious rooms each had bathrooms with beautiful hand painted tiles and wonderful rainforest soaps. I don’t know if they had AC, but the fan was completely adequate to keep us cool at night. Monika makes fabulous, generous omelets and the mango juice is to die for. Our sons (22 & 24) were in heaven. There was also the best gift shop we encountered on our trip- really an art gallery but with moderately priced souvenirs as well. A highlight of our week!

    We would have preferred a later checkout, but everything else was amazing.

    The room was unique with lots of artistic touches. The grounds were beautiful with lots of birds. We enjoyed watching the bird feeder over breakfast where there was a flock of collered aracari (a type of toucan). The food and coffee were good and the breakfast area overlooks the pond. We arrived a day late due to problems with our flights and the hosts kindly did not charge us for the day we missed.

    No worries ; )

    The room was a nice size, lots of room to do yoga for two people, well furnished and creatively decorated~ We loved the bright colourful art in the room, bathroom, hallway, and at the cafe and gallery where we had breakfast. For lovers of art, this is the best place. Also for those who love nature, the rooms have a beautiful view {with balcony} of the beautiful garden and grounds, a small lake, and over to the hill where the cafe and gallery are, and equally the view from that terrace is very beautiful too, with iguanas up in a tall tree near the lake! Breakfasts were good in the terrace with many hummingbirds and other bird life too.
