fresh coffee good information comfy rooms dusty area loud air conditioner bright room
the fresh coffee every day was so good!!! the rooms were clean and comfy and well appointed. the receptionists at the front desk had great information on the attractions and hikes.
Many areas of the room were very dusty, i think it hadn't been cleaned in a long time. the air conditioner was loud. I found the noise distracting. light came through the main door.

room layout useful bus passes coffee station
the decor and layout of the rooms impressed me. the coffee station and pour over reminded me of a recent costa rica trip. the bus passes included with the stay proved very useful.
I noticed the corridors had laundry bags outside. Also the carpets seemed dirty.
