Located about 5km from Orotina, in the tiny ghost town of San Mateo. Whoever answers the phone speaks Spanish only. Extremely friendly owner Alvaro has pretty much let the place go. While we were greeted with a refreshing glass of juice, we were left alone after that to wonder whether and where dinner or breakfast would be served.
Guests stay in private cabins nestled between ripe mango and avocado trees and creeks that flow through the surrounding forest area. A-frame cabins have tile floors and cold-water bathrooms. As rooms go unoccupied for long periods they are dusty. Still, it’s a great place to wind down after a vacation and only an hour from the airport. The hotel grounds have a trail, a boche ball court, a foosball table, and a large filtered outdoor pool. Continental breakfast included.
