    Liked everything, but if you are the type who can’t get away from your phone, you will get strong Wi-Fi for calls and texts and emails only on the property. You go into town or go on trails or hiking there is no cell service, but I didn’t mind one bit being disconnected from our mobile device.

    The property was nature at its best. Trails for hummingbirds, trails to waterfalls,horseback riding, nice walk to small town(Bajos Del Toros), yoga and gym on site; just some of things we did, but other activities that we didn’t partake in as well. Beautiful country and from the moment we got picked up by the shuttle(the driver Rolando is a very nice and great guy) and the whole time at Silencio we were greeted by all great people the entire time. If you want a relaxing and peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of life, look no further than here!

    All is amazing

    From our arrival until our departure from the hotel the attention was personalized, José Manuel took care of us and I made me feel at home! The room was impeccable, every detail was taken care of with care: cleanliness, lighting, temperature, bed sheets, all great! We had dinner at the Las Ventanas Restaurant and from our arrival Randal our waiter attended us in a personalized way, we ordered the menu tickets (which were great) and for the main course we ordered something out of the menu and there we had a great surprise the Executive Chef Robert prepared us a risotto with shrimp that was delicious! An experience that far exceeded our expectations and that we will soon repeat!

    The road to reach the property was technically difficult, we made it but it was not an easy drive.

    Amazing service, incredible food! It's a little expensive but really worth it! My dad really liked the yoga class, we saw beautiful birds from our room.

    The villas are so well designed, and one of our favourite hotel rooms ever, from the rocking chairs on the terrace to the private jacuzzi, we loved our time there! The hotel covers a big area and includes hiking trails (3 waterfalls on site!) and a garden where we saw lots of hummingbirds and a coati. Another perk is the free hot chocolate and cookie which you can take by the fire when the afternoon cloud forest showers occur! The staff were all super friendly, in particular Daniel who was really helpful in assisting with our questions.

    Perhaps the restaurant could offer more traditional Costa Rican dishes?

    The jacuzzi on the veranda of the suite was fantastic. We made use of the facilities onsite - the ‘mystic tour’ of the property’s forest where the guide enlightened us with facts on nature plus led us through a series of exercises to connect with the four elements of water, earth, wind and fire; plus the ‘sound healing’ session at the wellbeing centre. Both of these are highly recommended. The turn down service in the evenings was a lovely touch, and the staff are all incredibly friendly and efficient.

    the food is expensive and in terms of value of money- wasn’t that good. in addition, when we asked for more water to the room they asked us to but bottle. I believe that in this price, they need to take care to refill the water.

    one of the most amazing places we’re ever seen. Surrounded by nature, everything is so green and beautiful. the ideal place to relax. the room is amazing, the view is outstanding, the place is so beautiful. we really enjoyed the sounds hilling class in the Spa.

    the bathroom was very cold and especially the stone floor. A heated floor would be excellent. prices are relatively high compared with other similar places.

    the location, the service, the space in the guesthouse, the jacuzzi, the tours on offer, the food and the fireplace in the room.

    A property map was shown at checkin, but was not provided as a handout and wasn't available in our Villa. More accessible maps would have likely made us more apt to explore the property earlier on our stay.
