    Don't miss asking Bernie for local dining recommendations. he directed us to an incredible restaurant that we wouldn't have found on our own.

    vibrant orchids
    seating options

    The gardens are stunning and filled with vibrant orchids.

    There should be more seating options in common areas for relaxing.

    garden oasis
    great breakfast
    accommodating owners
    ceiling fan

    We enjoyed our stay in the lovely garden oasis. The owners, Bernie and Nhi, were incredibly accommodating and even arranged a taxi for us to the airport. The breakfast was fresh and delicious, packed for our early flight with the kids.

    My children wanted a ceiling fan for air circulation.

    beautiful gardens
    delicious breakfast

    Families seeking a unique experience

    My kids loved exploring the gardens, full of labeled trees and butterflies. Breakfast was something else, fresh tropical fruits and a warm bread pudding that made us all smile.

    It wasn’t exactly cheap but you know what they say, you get what you pay for.

    The gardens are exquisite, filled with blooming orchids, creating a serene atmosphere. The casitas are comfortably accessible, providing a charming escape not far from the airport, making it easy for seniors like myself to enjoy.

    More seating in common areas for socializing.

    open-air dining
    fresh fruit

    fantastic base for exploring nearby parks and landmarks

    Staying here was a delight. the fresh fruit at breakfast was delicious, and the open-air dining offered a peaceful start to the day. It's super easy to walk to Alajuela Central Park and the Monument of Juan Santa Maria, both within just a couple of kilometers, making it perfect for weekend strolls.
