"I plan on returning. The hotel is nestled in the heart of San Jose, it's a huge property. I chose it for the decor/culture of Costa Rica. I swam in a pristine Olympic sized pool, I saw several iguanas, and I don't know how many bird species and in the ceiling of my room, what I thought was a mouse, was actually a bird nest with new hatchlings, which was a bit disturbing when I was sleeping. I was offered another room, it wasn't as nice, so I declined. Understanding Costa Rica embraces nature and tries not to disturb the natural habitats so they didn't remove the bird family. I adapted, it wasn't too bad. I will say bring/use insect repellent. There are few screens on any windows (in Costa Rica), which is the norm. Each day there were many insects dead in my room, I used spray to avoid bites. They conserve energy so the main building is open, no a/c just fresh air and fans. The building is open, anything may fly or crawl through the lobby or your room if you have your patio door open. The staff was beautiful, professional and so kind. The deep tissue massage was deep. The food was delicious and not expensive. Not sure if free refills were free, one said no, the others gave them to me. Caesar salad, calamari and a entree with ginger ale was $33.67. If you want to be as close to being a local, I suggest the location. Feels like the ambulance just made me want to sit and enjoy each moment. Bring washclothes they only give towels and hand towels. Older charming resort."

"Armando was very friendly and helpful, and made a nice breakfast in the morning! The area is a lush green forest so it really lives up to its name "Serenity by Nature"!"

"My husband and I just spent the month of April in this beautiful home with incredible views of the mountains and the city lights of San Jose at night. It's a great location, close to Atenas but quiet and peaceful. The home is well equipped, furnished nicely, very clean, comfortable, has a great split floor plan and large open rooms. The Rancho and pool area where we spent a lot of time enjoying are fantastic and provide breathtaking sunsets. The hosts were very responsive from the moment we made our reservation and accommodating throughout our stay. Adrian the caretaker was so sweet, made check in and check out a breeze, was always available if needed while being respectful of our privacy. We really enjoyed our time at Villa El Sueno.Thank you Stephen, Denis and Adrian. "
