    Bed could be better it was not super comfortable but could be worse. Walls are thin so you can hear neighbors or because windows open.

    Location and staff and clean. Internet very fast. I would go back.

    Parking was a little tough getting down a steep and narrow gravel driveway. You might be able to park up on the street instead.

    Great hosts who were very flexible with our late arrival. Lovely breakfast the next morning on the patio cooked by the couple who owns the property. The views from anywhere on the property were great. The apartments were spacious.

    We really did not have any complaints.

    Our host was very helpful and we were even offered a laundry service, which was welcome after a week on jungle trails. The room was very clean and comfortable. The view was lovely. Generous breakfast was cooked to order and served on a deck overlooking the valley- gorgeous! We stayed for 3 nights. Location was convenient to town (loved the farmer's market!) and also to several parks and reserves that we wanted to visit.

    The road noise from big trucks is annoying, but not something they can control. The hotel isn't on the main road so that helps.

    Our room this time had a kitchen which wasn't necessary but good to know about this option. Billy and his wife are very nice hosts, the breakfast is excellent. We even had a pair of Golden-hooded Tanagers feeding their babies in a hanging orchid basket on the patio. What a treat!

    Noise of driving trucks. But eventually we got used to it and at night traffic slowed downs.

    Very nice hotel overlooking tropical garden full of flowers and town down in a valley. Comfortable room with well equipped kitchen. Tasty and generous breakfast served on terrace overlooking valley. Bill, the host, answered all our questions about neighborhood.

    Steep driveway, 4 WD advisable Although off the main road the big trucks are still very loud and obnoxious. But still worth the stay.

    Nice views, room with most ammenities, lovely Gardens full of birds, Billy and the staff very nice, and an ample breakfast. A Birder's hot spot. EBird list with 33 species seen off the balcony.
