This hotel was booked for its proximity to San Jose Airport and, as such, I wasn't expecting too much in terms of location and facilities. How wrong I was. The setting is a stunning, mountain top retreat, peaceful but close enough to some good restaurants and shops. The pool is large and impeccably clean. My family shared a self contained unit with basic cooking facilities, two decent sized beds, a lounge area and balcony, all clean and quite spacious. The welcome from our hosts was friendly and informative. All in all very good value for money and far more than a convenient stopover. Thank you.

The bungalow where we stayed was clean, comfortable, charming and quiet - except for the lovely birdsongs we enjoyed. Sitting on the porch felt like being in a treehouse, with gorgeous views. Tanya, our host, was friendly, helpful as needed (such as calling us a taxi, providing information etc) and cooked us some delicious breakfasts. The pool was a special treat for us - even in the rainy season, we enjoyed swimming each day:)

We had a super cute cabin with a nice view that felt very private. Decently stocked kitchen too. The breakfast was pretty good. We choose this as a last stop between monteverde and the San Jose airport and it was so much more charming that the close by the airport hotels. It took about 40 minutes to drive to sjo. We spotted 2 toucans from our balcony! And we were charmed by the resident dog and parrot.

The cabins were very dark in the evenings, not too much lighting. The driveway up is steep so I wouldn’t want to arrive in the dark.

Each day the hotel owner would personally prepare your breakfast, which, depending upon the day, could be eggs, bacon, fresh fruit, pancakes, juice and/or coffee - there were always a couple of options available. Everything was local, super fresh, and tasty (especially the omelets). The owner and her staff were amazing. The pool and pool area were beautiful - surrounded by trees etc. with warm water. The view from the outdoor dining area (overlooking the valley below and mountains above) was breathtaking and inspirational.

This is not a complaint but an observation. If you are looking for a 5 star environment then this hotel is not for you. If you are satisfied with more basic offerings in terms of where you will be sleeping, then you will be pleased. Our 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom + kitchen + den unit felt like a well equipped cottage, with air conditioning, an equipped kitchen, screens on the windows, and a large front porch overlooking lush green trees, colorful plants, and the green valley below. The breakfast experience (including the spectacular view) is worth the trade off if you are willing to let go of the 5 star experience. Besides, I'm not sure where in the Atenas area you will find much that looks like the Four Seasons Hotel. You are about a 10 minute drive from Atenas city center.

Lush green environment, really good breakfast, super friendly and helpful owners, besutiful view from the breakfast area. Mango trees. Super friendly parrot. Very Nice pool!

Nothing really. Small development suggestion could be to have drinks to buy from the reception like water, sodas, etc.

clean quiet and cool

my only complaint is that it is a bit removed from downtown requiring taxi service most of the time. It’s remoteness is more than offset by the tranquility of the place. it is walkable to town and taxi fare is only $3000 colones

Love this place! We only stopped over but would spend more time here.

The pool was amazing, the views at breakfast and also the hosts were so friendly. The pool area was full of birds, butterflies, dragonflies and lizards! What’s not to like 😁

Beautiful property with such nice people! We have stayed multiple times and have really enjoyed the wonderful grounds, nice rooms and tasty breakfasts. Thanks so much for always making us feel welcome. 🙏

The daily breakfast was something to look forward to, very enjoyable. Most appealing was the company of the host, Tania, to greet us each morning.

The grounds are beautiful nestled up top in Atenas. You have views of the mountains and of San Jose at night. Breakfast is amazing with local fresh fruit and served with a view.
