Great relationship quality-price. Don Taco is very well located, near the downtown but in a quieter area. The room was not big but the bathroom was comfortable. The breakfast was well served and the staff very kind.

Comfortable room, there is a good restaurant directly in the hotel, it's also possible to book tour right at reception.
WiFi was a bit unstable though.

great hotel, even better hostesses
The rooms were small but quite sufficient, cost was very reasonable, and the beds were comfortable. There was a good hot prepared breakfast with choice of 3-4 options and fresh juice. The receptionists Wanda and Zadieka were absolutely fabulous and incredibly helpful - do not let these young ladies leave your establishment, they are so hospitable, intelligent, knowledgable of the area and out-of-this-world helpful!!!

Monteverde is a must!
Great property and location! Breakfast was one of the best we had while in Costa Rica.
No A/C, so we would have appreciated a ceiling fan!

Just a quick walk from Santa Elena proper. Parking was a challenge, having 3 separate parking locations (and the very steep uphill didn't help, but no fault of the property). Great service, but the transport for the tour I booked never arrived.

Cute rooms
Our three bed room was like a small wooden cabin
View of city walkable
Restaurant is very good and manager very welcoming
Pizza for dinner to go
Two pizzas were around $35, fed the whole family and we enjoyed it very much
There is a soda walkable which was also very good - family owned soda nice people
There’s a small community room with books, good places to play board games at the hotel
Parking is tight but we were able to park our big suv there each night
Walked down to city-12 minute walk so very convenient
If you’re looking to be close to city thus is an affordable option- clean , no frills

Wanda at check in was great at providing information on area attractions and answering all of our questions. Breakfast was really good. No a/c, so a bit humid during rainy season but not too awful hot.
