    Beautiful property in ideal jungle location. Quiet, relaxing and tranquil. Good location with many attractions within a short drive. Breakfasts were fantastic - fresh fruit, juice, eggs, pancakes and bacon, not to mention endless Costa Rican coffee. Staff were all fantastic.

    Carlos's house is a gem as well as the host himself. A real homestay, tastefully furnished. His brekkies are real French cusine, never twice the same. Evenings at the balcony, or the morning bird visits are beautiful. Spaceusness, spotless cleanness. Ideal locaton if you wish to access Arenal, Monteverde and maybe Tenorio/Rio Celeste from one base. Good day trip ideas we got. The eateries Carlos recommends also are very good.
