The breakfast came with fruit, protein, and rice. It was free, so no problem with that. The dinner was excellent. The bar had a really nice choices of wine, beer, or liquor. The mountain views and fresh air were exceptional. It's in a rural location, so in my opinion, this is the optimal place if you're traveling, for example, between San Jose and Puerto Viejo to a stop and relax for a day to catch up. The pics are as advertised. It's a really beautiful B&B, tiled balcony, and the people who run it (seems to be a family) are very nice and accommodating. Wifi was strong (no TV in room so bring laptop for Netflix or something). Staying here was well worth the price.

It can be humid, and although we knew there wasn't an AC, there wasn't a ceiling or stand up fan provided either. I would definitely bring a portable fan to this location. Also, if you need really soft pillows, bring your own. I found them to be a tad stiff.

The attention! It was amazing, the staff are very kind and the breakfast was also delicious. The view is amazing, the room is very comfortable with a really nice terrace where you can enjoy the breeze and Mountain Views, it’s Very peaceful, I recommend this place if you want to rest somewhere comfortable and beautiful. There are some really nice waterfalls only 20 minutes driving from the hotel.

The bathroom is a little outdated and has a funny smell (but it’s super clean) Also the towels were a little bit hard for my taste.

situated on a bluff overlooking the valley at Turrialba, the views are lovely from the reception/restaurant area and a few of the rooms. we had a room below the aforementioned, which was much more private (bonus), but lacked said views (not a huge deal since there is a restaurant patio to go to); we did have our own private porch, which was very lovely, especially at night. The room was clean and spacious enough, but the bed was fairly uncomfortable (to be fair my husband and i are in our 40s and i have back and hip issues and my husband has shoulder issues, so this may not be an issue to some; also, if not an extended stay one could surely deal with it). The price was fair relative to surrounding properties (really in all of Costa Rica that i've been). The property is near Turrialba, where one can whitewater raft and find other activities (i highly recommend a trip down the Rio Pacuare). It is not really walking distance to town (maybe, but there doesn't seem to be a good route - maybe ask if there's a trail, but coming back will be all uphill). There is free parking on site and we had no issues with that. The thing that stands out about this property above all else is the restaurant!!!!! The service is phenomenal and the food...there aren't words that haven't been dulled by overuse to describe how great the food here is!!! They really go to lengths to provide local, artisan dishes...and omg the drinks. we dined here about 5 times and each had something different each time - i can't even recommend a dish because it is ALL incredible. i can say that the margaritas are delectable and the sangria is the best i've ever had - she even gave me a spoon for the fruit salad that was in the drink. i watched the server create each drink with so much care that even though i wanted so many more i didn't order more than one per visit because it was so "labor intensive"!

Oh! The view! The staff was incredibly friendly and the restaurant was amazing (both for dinner and included breakfast the next morning). Fresh fruits, local cheese and great coffee. Awoke to tropical birds cawing and, I think, frogs (we are in a rainforest, after all). Rooms were sparse, but clean and we all felt safe. Did I mention the view?

Daughter slept in a twin bed that she said was hard and uncomfortable. Our room had cables for a TV, but didn't actually have a TV. Perhaps it is a cultural "thing" but there were no washcloths in the bathroom. But to be fair, we are staying in a hotel in a very rural area of a rainforest in a foreign country. I would rather have this hotel experience than an "American Hotel".

The winery attached - the food and the wine was very good. The view in the morning. The staff was very friendly

The lock at our door was not working (room 2). It wasn't a big issue in the end, because we were the only guests, but it should be fixed to guarantee some more privacy. Also the sealing was quite dirty and needs a deeper cleaning. The entrance from the main road is a bit tricky with a sharp corner coming from Turrialba and steep incline, but doable. Wifi broke up a few times

The view from the terrace is great and well equipped. My girlfriend loved the dogs of the host. The breakfast was very tasty. The room had enough space for our two big suit cases and backpacks. For us it was the right choice to get sleep during our drive from Corcovado to the Puerto Viejo. The restaurant (Sunday is closed) could be near to the standard rooms. We had our night during Sunday.

The bathroom is a little bit old school, but everything was clean. :)

They were all very accommodating and very friendly. It was a beautiful place to stay. Our group had a couple hiccups and the staff always found a way to accommodate us. The restaurant is amazing and the staff was also very accommodating there. I would definitely stay again.

The person taking care of was extremely good. With my Google translate app, got everything done. She made amazing breakfast and helped with other aspects as well. The approach to the hotel from the road is pretty steep and I had to reverse two times (because of the slope and bend). Views are great.

Approach path from road to the place.

Incredible location with a friendly atmosphere and staff. The Celler Ladera prepared some impressive food with an excellent selection of wines from around the world. Two exceptional days to relax in the beautiful natural surroundings!

Comfortable bed in a room with basic furniture. The view on the terrasse is great and the host is very attentive and helpful. Great Costa Rican breakfast with homemade bread, marmalade, everything freshly prepared. Nice cool mountain air and no mosquitos.

The bathroom / shower is okay and functional, but could need some renewing.
