Very nice place to stay. We had an apartment, very private with parking. Walking distance to everything. Breakfast was delicious! Included in the price. Would love to come back and stay in this place again.

May need 4-wheel drive to get to some areas.
roads to the area are not paved, dusty and rough. plan about and extra half hour in driving time. The Don Juan coffee, cholate. and sugar tour was excellent.
Lovely place!
I absolutely love the area. So far it’s my favorite spot in Costa Rica.
Much to do and see in this area.
