The place is very cute! Near the beautiful Arenal Lake and Vulcano. The owner is very nice also. It was only a one night stay, but we had a great evening, having nice dinner. The rooms have a lot of details making the decoration adorable!

I stayed at this lovely B&B and found it to be a treasure. The grounds are natural and beautiful and are filled with flowers and birds. The rooms were well maintained and each uniquely furnished with beautiful hand painted lamps, vases, sinks, etc. The host, Monica, is very hospitable and makes wonderful coffee and a delicious breakfast for her guests....

We spent 2 nights in this lovely B&B and absolutely loved it (even though its not the beach). The owner is everything you wish for in a host. We felt amazingly comfortable, welcome and relaxed so much! Thank you a lot for adding another nice experience to our holidays.
