Amazing host that made us feel right at home. The place is very well kept, with cozy and comfortable rooms and a good breakfast. It's a great place to stay fairly close to the airport, on the first or last night in CR. We have stayed there a few times and plan to stay again on our next visit.

This was such a lovely place to start our Costa Rican roadtrip! Elena was such a wonderful host and we loved meeting her. The breakfast was delicious and the setting was really pretty. Thank you!

Perfect Costa Rican Welcome!
Fantastic first night in Costa Rica. We arrived here quite late after a long flight from the UK. We were welcomed by Helen on arrival and she made us feel really welcome. Our first Costa Rican breakfast was delicious. The dogs were adorable too.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Amanacer and would have happily stayed indefinitely. Our room was very clean and comfortable in every way, and the owners were kind, welcoming and helpful. Every morning starts with a memorable sunrise view in a garden full of birdsong and fruit trees, and continues with a delicious breakfast on the terrace. We had our own key and could come and go as we pleased, but there was always someone available if we had a request or question.

This Casa feels like a home. The sisters that manage it are so kind and welcoming. The rooms are very comfortable and you can sit in the garden and enjoy the nice breeze. There are some dogs that live there. If you don't want to see them, they will be locked away, but we found them adorable and sweet. This is a great stop if you are travelling from the Pacific coast to La Fortuna as it is roughly half way. There is an amazing restaurant nearby and we really enjoyed our meal there.

Calm, welcoming oasis
Casa Amanacer was an amazing, welcoming oasis. We booked a last minute stay due to unexpected travel complications, and we were welcomed with open arms. Helena provided a calm, comforting atmosphere and was extremely helpful over the course of our stay. She provided recommendations in the area, cooked great meals, and helped us arrange a local excursion. The rooms are beautiful and clean, and the common areas are the same. We ended up staying an extra night because we loved Casa Amanecer so much!

This is such a cute bed & breakfast located only about 30 minutes from the popular coffee area of Naranjo and artisanal shopping town of Sarchil! The property was super clean, quiet, and serene with such an amazing view of the mountains. The staff treated us like family and cooked us homemade meals for breakfast and dinner (upon request). Traveled with our 1yr old son and he also had a blast (nice little grassy area in the common area to run around and he loved the two little dogs, hummingbirds, and butterflies). Great temperature in this area with high 85 and low 65 at night (visited during rainy season in June- rain started around 2-3 every day).

Amazing
We arrived late from a long day of travel and we were met with a warm smile and clean accommodations. The lady that was running the bed and breakfast stayed up and talked with us, brought us water and coffee, and made sure our accommodations were prefect. In the morning the fresh breakfast was a perfect start to the day. I would 100% recommend staying here

Helen and her staff are wonderful. They were accommodating and friendly. Breakfast was delicious. Needs a bit better signage so you can find it as it is hidden in a long driveway and the winding road makes it difficult to see which one is the correct entry. Once you are there you will be charmed.

I came back after six years to this hotel. The hotel is one of the best places to stay in San Ramón. The staff is excellent, and everything is simply perfect. I don’t give a 5-star rating to any place unless they deserve it, but this place most definitely deserves the 5-star rating. I definitely recommend this place.

Nice place, great host, good breakfast
Casa Amancer is a very nice, comfortable place with a beautiful view of part of the Central Valley of Costa Rica. The host/owner is very kind and helpful, and she prepared a wonderful breakfast for us that we enjoyed while sitting on the patio and looking at the beautiful flowers in her yard. We enjoyed our stay and felt like it was a very good value.

People are nice and kind. Food was good and timely. Shower arm is very limited in length which limits to stay near the faucet to take shower. That is limiting condition and very frustrating

A very cozy place run by Helen. She is very courteous and made sure our stay was comfortable. San Ramon is a good stop for the night if you arrive later in evening at San Jose and dont want to make trek in night time to Arenal & Casa Amanacer was ideal location. We even toured SR on our own with guidance from Helen. Not a 5 star place but breakfast was home made & fresh. Nice views, flowers, sunrise if lucky & bird sounds in the morning.

The property was just north of the downtown. It was clearly designed by an architect who married local teak tradition with modern aesthetic. The gardens have banana, avocado, and mint. It's really a wonderful little bed and breakfast. The staff were adorable and made us feel like we were part of the family. I cannot stress enough how special they made us feel. The room and bathroom were extremely clean.

We really loved staying at the Casa Amanecer and looking forward to going back in the future. The hotel room was clean and well maintained. The two wonderful ladies were amazing and always wanting to do whatever they could to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Every morning, they had the patio breakfast table nicely set. They served a very nice breakfast with a fruit platter, scrambled eggs, etc. On other days, they served a very nice omelet. It was great sitting on the rocking chairs, looking at the mountains and the landscape. It was really cool to see all the hummingbirds on the trees. If you are looking for a nice room with clean bedding, operated by two wonderful ladies, this is the place to stay!!
