We recently spent three nights at Freddie and Juanita's hotel. They were most attentive to any of our needs or concerns and made us feel right at home. We took Freddie's tour our first morning and were thrilled with his knowledge of the birds and wildlife in the immediate area. A great way to discover some of the sights and... More

Although we didn't stay at this hotel we booked a birding tour with Freddy since he was recommended. I went with my boyfriend who is a hardcore birder and he was super exited. Freddy took us on a 4 hour tour where we saw birds, including Toucans and Motmots, and as a bonus we also saw a sloth and one... More

Though we did not stay in this hotel, my family recently spent a morning with Freddy looking for birds and other creatures in the Santa Elena area. We saw so many birds we would have missed without Freddy and his trusty telescope!

Freddie runs guided bird tours and he goes above and beyond to make sure you can find amazing animals. I saw a sloth, and a Quetzel, and... More

We were very pleased to stay at such a clean and "modern" hostel; the rooms being on a par with an economy motel in "the States". It is located outside of the bustle of the main streets of Santa Elena so was quiet and restful, while being a comfortable walk to the main streets for shopping and eating. Enjoyed looking... More

When we had our backpacks Freddy approached us and told us about his new hotel for a really good price. He took us in his awesome blue jeep (you definitely gonna love his jeep)... More

After not getting one wink of sleep staying in the heart of Santa Elena, my girlfriend and I trekked the streets for peace and quiet. We were relieved to find a home at Freddy's wonderful place. Their family welcomed us into a spacious, clean and cozy room, balcony and all! After relaxing with a hot shower, we were ready to... More

He and his family have just opened a new... More
