Positive: The owner is so kind. He helped us with everything we needed, and was available at all time. Gave us all the tips needed. The breakfast was very tasty and abundant, they even got me extra yogurt as I had asked for it. The area is beautiful with the birds and toucans, very peaceful and quiet, but also very close to everything.

Negative: Only thing is that it would be nice to have at least some shampoo in the bathroom, as well as a hairdrier available for use. All hotels should have one for their clients. A part from that, everything was great

Summary: The owner is the best!

Positive: Breakfast was standard but filling. Having breakfast on a verandah overlooking the cultivated patch of cloud forest that is El Descanso’s backyard was singularly wonderful. It’s a nonstop living tapestry of hummingbirds, tanagers, doves, flycatchers and more, plus agoutis scampering on the ground. I can’t think of a better way to start the day than in Rodney’s backyard, with a cup of hot chocolate.

Negative: No complaints. The room was clean and comfortable and the shower was hot.

Summary: Exceptionally pleasant. I’d go back any day.
