The kitchen is small but functional although missing some common amenities (i.e. dish towels). You can tell and appreciate that the construction is new and in relatively solid shape. There were a few items where the quality of the craftmanship was less than ideal. For example, the kitchen sink did not drain water (without debris) properly and there was a bathroom fixture that was loose. One other minor issue, even though the area is up on a hill with a beautiful view, you can hear an ample amount of road noise from cars and trucks. Even with those minor issues, the place was one that I would highly recommend to future guests. ##### Matt Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamarindo-Hotels-Hotel-Tamarindo-Diria-Beach-Resort.h1108151.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Lapas Jungle Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaco-Hotels-Villa-Lapas-Jungle-Village.h1330482.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Magic-Mountain-SPA-Conference-Center.h1636277.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Los-Lagos-Spa-Resort.h1312339.Hotel-Information) > > [Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamarindo-Hotels-Jardin-Del-Eden-Boutique-Hotel-Adults-Only.h2818928.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Luna Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Casa-Luna-Hotel-Spa.h2305532.Hotel-Information) > > [Nayara Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Nayara-Gardens.h2190965.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Monaco](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monaco-Hotels.d6050648.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Arenal Manoa & Hot Springs Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Manoa-Hot-Springs-Resort.h1671981.Hotel-Information) > > [Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Samara-Hotels-Azura-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h20586535.Hotel-Information) > > [Tilajari Hotel Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florencia-Hotels-Tilajari-Hotel-Resort.h1152031.Hotel-Information) > > [El Remanso Rainforest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-El-Remanso-Lodge.h11640675.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Corin Thermal Water Spa & Resort - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-The-Royal-Corin-Thermal-Water-Spa-Resort.h2486262.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Belmar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Belmar.h37178213.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Corcovado Jungle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Drake-Bay-Hotels-Casa-Corcovado-Jungle-Lodge.h19460167.Hotel-Information) > > [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Heliconias Nature Inn & Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penas-Blancas-Hotels-Heliconias-Nature-Lodge.h8386216.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Barbados](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Barbados.d16.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Koora Hotel by Sandglass](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Aguti-Lodge-Reserve.h33594530.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Kokoro Mineral Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Kokoro-Mineral-Hot-Springs.h3073878.Hotel-Information) > > [Poas Volcano Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vara-Blanca-Hotels-Poas-Volcano-Lodge.h5259118.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Observatory-Lodge-Spa.h11820519.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Tamarindo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamarindo-Hotels-Wyndham-Tamarindo.h10356916.Hotel-Information) > > [The Springs Resort and Spa at Arenal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monterrey-Hotels-The-Springs-Resort-And-Spa-At-Arenal.h2307339.Hotel-Information) > > [Cloud Forest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Monteverde-Cloud-Forest-Lodge.h2050850.Hotel-Information) > > [Rancho Margot - All meals included](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penas-Blancas-Hotels-Rancho-Margot-All-Meals-Included.h8631631.Hotel-Information) > > [Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Tabacon-Thermal-Resort-Spa.h1142389.Hotel-Information) ### Packages > [Las Vegas Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Las-Vegas.d178276.Holidays-City-Breaks)
