This one is a very good place in this area. I definitely recommend it. Here are a few reason:
Its very quiet at night
Its very clean
The beds are comfortable.
AC does the job great but the ceiling height is high. This makes the rooms very very fresh without requiring the AC unit on all the time.
Parking is a piece of cake, safe, private and organized.
There a couple of convenience stores right in the main road entrace so you can get anything you need before heading off the Hotel.
Oh and the costarrican breakfast is big and delicious.

Good stay
So we booked hotel room for 4 people and we got 4 queen size beds. That was unusual but ended up very comfortable. We had apartment with kitchen and hall. The pool was small but refreshing after all day hiking or ocean salt. It is about 18 mins walk to the beach so that was not as cool. I have ne er seen these huge bamboo trees. Over all very good stay.

I really like the vibe and the nature aspect of the place. It was very cozy and quiet. The market was nearby and the activities were not too far.
