I hardly need to leave a reference for you to see how awesome and accommodating of hosts Arturo and Maria were for my friend and me when we visited Santa Elena. From the start, their location is perfect, literally right next to the bus stop. The room was spacious and comfortable (with plenty of hammocks). Arturo catered to our planned excursions while in town and Maria even offered my friend some Spanish assistance when she showed her enthusiasm. Staying here is more than just a roof - Arturo and Maria will color your experience with the hospitality of a local family.
