Personalized attention by the owners make a difference. Well located place.
Wonderful owner and his family cared for us during our stay in this wonderful hand crafted place with beautiful woodwork and friendly caring staff. Room was nice, clean and beds were comfortable. Service and food were excellent and the staff were very helpful with ideas about fun things to do in the area. Definitely want to come back soon and spend more time!
Love this place, the attention from all the staff is very friendly

Santa Elena Lodge in northern Costa Rica
Lovely lodge off the beaten path. Owners accommodating and very friendly. Located near several beaches and nature reserves. Breakfast included was mediocre.
