They charged me for the night, they didn't open the door for me, it's a scam, I'll never come back, they let me in, I want my money back.

The staff was a 11/10!!!! From the moment we arrived, everyone was so friendly and helpful. We got to know the restaurant staff and they always went above and beyond for us not to mention the food was a 10/10 for every meal!! The grounds were beautiful and the room was great! It was hard to leave! Also the animal residents made you feel at home! We can’t wait to return!

Heel mooi hotel. Rustig gelegen. Ruime en nette kamers met goed ontbijt. Vriendelijk personeel. Mooie tuin. Restaurant Crocodil op de site is heel goed maar aan de duurdere kant.

This is a modestly priced basic (certainly nothing luxury about the rooms) hotel that does its job extremely well. It is clean, the grounds especially, and the service is excellent. I enjoyed the breakfast and a dinner. Great value for money.

We only stayed one night as we were en route from SJO to Sierpe but we were charmed by this hotel! The grounds were just lovely. The staff were friendly and professional. We ate dinner at the hotel restaurant for convenience and found the food to be delicious and the ambience pleasant. We skipped the pool but it looked inviting. The room was nice, as a family of 4 we enjoyed the king size beds. Also the free breakfast was a bonus- another delicious meal. We would have enjoyed an extended stay here!
