Farmstay in Cantón Zarcero

"This hotel has everything you might need for a comfortable stay. Amenities include a full breakfast, sauna, swimming pool, gift shop, and secure parking. Beds were comfortable and rooms were clean. The hotel is a little bit dated though and you can tell it needs some attention. But it was perfect for a quick overnight."

"It was amazing"

"Stayed here before an early flight from San Jose and it was perfect! Very clean, staff was incredibly helpful and breakfast was delicious. Only took 15 minutes to get to airport in traffic in the morning. "

"PLUSES: Surroundings are gorgeous and lots of trails and things to do; full of birds for Birders, and various other animals. The staff was (mostly) professional, knowledgable and friendly. The grounds and rooms are very clean. The included breakfast is quite tasty with a variety of options. CONCERNS: The property is isolated, as it is 40 mins w/ no traffic or road issues to La Fortuna and other activities outside the property. Some may love this. Dinners were more of a 3/5. Something I overlooked is that there is no air-conditioning, though this is on me for not realizing. During the warmer "dry" season we would have preferred air-conditioning. PS: For all of the Arenal area (not just the Observatory) if driving from the West (say from Tamarindo beach area), once you hit Lake Arenal, it's about a 1 and 1/2 hour drive to the Observatory, and 2 hours+ to La Fortuna, and this is with no road issues and little traffic."

"The breakfast was great and worth the extra cost. Might want another hotel if you like hot water for your shower. No hot water in the first room. Second room had hot water that night but cold the next morning."

"The perfect overnight property while transiting through San Jose. We stayed here on 2 different evenings as we traveled to and from the San Jose airport. Everything was delightful as staff were pleasant, the rooms were comfortable and the breakfast was plentiful."

"super close to the airport, this is a great place to stay while waiting for the late night flights back home"

"all good n nice"
