The finca is close to town yet far enough away for privacy and a quiet environment. Toucans, hummingbirds and butterflies were an added bonus. The property was quiet, safe, clean, and every detail had been perfectly crafted. We’d definitely stay here again."

"Property is built so beautifully within the vegetation and trees. We received two rooms apartment (like two entire flats one on top of the other, with 2 bathrooms, which was very convenient with two teenagers) - which was very fine furnished, cosy, clean, and maintained. From our balconies we could watch the birds and so many cute Caoties. Breakfast was delicious, as well as lunch and dinner that we have decided to have in the hotel. Chef is excellent!! Very nice and welcoming staff. We really enjoyed staying at the hotel. Very recommended"
