"The villa and the setting were magical! Stephen and his dogs were a great hosts and we had everything we needed. This villa is secluded and away from everything, away from people and places, so it’s the perfect setting for a quiet and relaxing vacation. The bird watching was top notch!"

We were floored when we first saw the view and the room! It is so special and our first night was quiet and romantic. The grounds are gorgeous. The staff was exceptional! We only had a couple of complaints and when we had the complaints, the staff was eager to help in any way possible. We had an issue with our DVD player-which in our mind wasn't a huge deal because it's so fantastic there you don't really need movies, but we wanted to relax our last night and we couldn't get the DVD player to...

Such a magical environment, all the staff are so friendly and welcoming. Allen’s passion for the forest and animals is contagious and encyclopaedic ; we learned so much. The property is surrounded by beautiful forests in all directions, and you eat breakfast watching hummingbirds and toucans. It’s truly incredible.
Our car broke down around 7km before arriving to the lodge and Allen and his team could not have been more helpful or friendly. They kindly came and met us, helped jumpstart the car,...

Great customer service, even booked a shuttle for the next day (same price as if I did it myself). Airport pickup, reception, check-in, breakfast, local directions, and the room were all excellent. They even drove us to a nearby restaurant. The only drawback was that Room #1 was in the hallway, so be aware that noises in the hallway and bedroom transmit easily.

Would highly recommend this place. The owners just couldn't be nicer or more helpful. The cabins are bright, comfortable, and clean. The location is convenient to the Mirador de Ujarras and the Ruinas de Ujarras as well as multiple good restaurants. The citrus trees on the grounds attract lots of interesting birds. We saw at least 35 species from our porch. Hanging out with their adorable, super friendly Doberman was a big bonus for us.

Fantastic stay. I had the sunrise cabin.
Gorgeous views, modern updated cabin yet full of character and comfort.
The breakfast was simple but delicious and perfect to start the day.
The owners and entire team were extremely friendly and helpful beyond the scope of just standard hospitality.

What a terrific setting nestled in the mountains outside of Cartaga.
The Tico style cabin had two bedrooms and a single bath with a great room containing the kitchen, dinning room and living room.
I spent most of my time on the deck.
Was clean and well maintained.

Posada El Quijote is outstanding. The staff is friendly, attentive, and helpful, and the view of San Jose from the inn is outstanding. Bjorn and Alcides helped us book taxi rides, rent a car, find restaurants and attractions, and even upgraded our room and comped our airport transportation after a mixup with our arrival date.
The rooms are clean and comfortable and the Costa Rican breakfasts will help jump start your day of exploring this beautiful country.

This is a brand new property, recently built. This hotel has a great location, steps from the Costa Rica Convention Center, there are shopping malls, clinics, restaurants, at walkable distance.
There is shuttle service to the SJO airport,
Breakfast was great too including costarican typical food.
Hope to be staying here again soon!

My 2nd time here and once again it's clean and simple and perfect for my short stay between the airport and my destination. Darren does a wonderful job as host. Quick to reply and always helpful. I very much appreciate his helping me set up transportation and recommendations for food delivery. He's totally accommodating and easy to get along with...that's extremely valuable to guests when traveling abroad :)
