    The place is extremely cozy and the room was comfortable. Giorgia at the reception has been extremely helpful to discover hidden gems in Costa Rica! Their restaurant "Cantanara" is a good place where to eat!

    The location from the hotel is good, close to the beach. We moved to Cantarana Hotel, the room there was comfortable and nice. Breakfast was good, staff was very friendly.
