“welcoming place on a beautiful walk out of town”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 27, 2012

I havent ever stayed here - but catch the interbus back to SJO from here every year. Coffee and breakfast are always outstanding - and the woman I always see is very welcoming and sincere. If I were to need a hotel in town - Id definately give them a try. The pool always looks clean and cool too. Maybe Ill sneak in some night and take a swim.

“Very romantic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 21, 2012

The setting is very romantic and intimate. At least for me it was romantic. The food was excellent. The service even better. For all you chocolate lovers, I recommend the homemade chocolate brownie with ice cream. I know it made my night :)

“fabulous french/swiss/costa rican fusion of talent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 2, 2012

an unexpected gastronomic treat on the outskirts of the village of samara; subtle flavours and marvelous presentation...so much more than the average beach town restaurant.

“Ok food, good service”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 6, 2011

We stayed at this hotel while in Samara. The breakfast included was very good! We had burgers for lunch one day which were good. And for supper one evening we ordered beef tenderloin. We asked for it to be cooked well done, but had to send it back twice before the blood stopped running out. By then it was a little tough and I didn't eat it. Other than that the food looked good.

“It's Been Almost A Year Since We Ate Here And My Son Still Talks About It All The Time!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 26, 2011 via mobile

We stayed at the hotel and it was fine but we were super impressed with the fabulous cuisine! It was some of the best food we've ever had! We live in the states and are seriously considering going back to Samara just to dine at this fabulous restaurant! The owners are wonderful and even prepared special pasta dishes for my children. The French fries at lunch were the best we have ever had and at breakfast which is included when you stay here, they have the best hot chocolate, coffee and juices in addition to great food. Dinners were so amazing, truly the best food we've had in our lives! This is such a great place, we can't wait to go back!
