El Cafetal Inn

$$, Atenas

User Rating: ***** 4.8

Fodor's Review:

This charming B&B feels and looks more like a friend's house than a hotel. The living-room area has wedding pictures of the friendly Salvadorean-Colombian owners, who go out of their way to make you feel at ease and help with your travel plans. On a hilltop coffee farm, the two-story concrete lodge has comfortable accommodations with fabulous vistas. Most rooms have balconies, and those on the corners of the second floor have curved windows offering panoramic views. Breakfast, which includes home-grown and -roasted coffee, is served on the back garden patio. The fact that it lies just 25 minutes from the airport makes this a good place to begin or end a Costa Rica trip.

Couldn't have been more impressed!, we were treated to a fabulous on-site restaurant, fantastic friendly service, a room with an amazing view, cool temperatures and charming atmosphere. I put this among the best places to stay in Costa Rica!
