I was so happy to be met with friendly faces, puppies and sightings of toucans in the front yard among tons of other birds. It is pre remodel but we were so grateful for the clean room with cold AC and it captures the feel of the local scene. Good coffee too. Also you have to go to El Rancho Restaurant they are very short walk away and had amazing food and music. Also close to bus stop to town and walkable to the guanacaste national park.
