My wife and I stayed at La Colina in March 2012. Our room was small and had two beds headboard to headboard crammed into it. We believe one of the beds was taken from the room next door which was being worked on. There is no wifi on the premises. The description said that a chef was on staff and... More

We stayed here in January 2012. We expected it to be basic and have been used to basic hostels on our travels around the world but La Colina was beyond basic. Here is a summary of our stay. - The sheets were dirty and damp and smelled incredibly strongly of wet dog. It was disgusting to sleep in the bed... More

So, if you are looking for all modern conveniences and a stuffy staff this is not your place. It is like visiting an eccentric favorite aunt in her old house full of fascinating stuff and interesting stories. First of all, the rooms are small but clean, and decorated in a wild array of colors and patterns. You can stay in... More

This artful lodge has bright colors, beautiful mosaics, and a lovely porch to enjoy the birds and fireflies from. The wooden accents add to the overall cozy feel of the place. Since it is up the road a ways from town it is quieter especially at night. The downside of this is that it is far from internet and restaurants... More

This place has a special magic. I stayed here with my two daughters, ages 5 and 6, for several weeks this summer. If you are looking for a place with charm and character, look no further. The polished wooden floors and beams give it a warm, rustic feel, which is complimented by richly painted walls and colorfully mosaicked hallway. There... More

La Colina is really better described as a hostel. We planned on staying 3 nights but after one hard night with mosquitos buzzing and the smell of mildew, we cut short our stay. There is a sense from the place that there were better days here but that it has gotten rundown. No screens on the windows - no soap... More

Not a great hotel destination, especially in a town where there are many other choices that are more comfortable and just as affordable. We were situated far away from the main part of town. Our room smelled strongly of mildew and the linens and towels were not replaced once in our three day stay. Maybe the biggest disappointment was this:... More

Hands down the best place my 4 friends and I stayed at while we backpacked through Costa Rica in May. Nanci was super knowledgeable, helpful, and welcoming. The price was more than fair and the hotel itself is super neat. Highly recommended, cheers. More

Our stay at La Colina was perfect. After driving around and asking a few places for prices, this seemed like a good deal. The owner (Nancy) is from the USA and spoke English, which was nice. She was so helpful and took us in as if we were her family. We were craving an American breakfast, so she even made... More
