Good to know
Everything here comes from the hotel’s own pages. Anything that changes over time — prices, schedules, policies — is worth confirming when you book.
Book directly for 2 or more nights and your first breakfast is free, as published by the hotel — a thank-you for booking direct. The hotel also promotes exclusive deals for direct bookings.

No. Room prices here are “from” rates as last published by the hotel, a rough guide only. Rates change with dates and season, and the published prices don’t say whether tax is included. The booking engine shows the live rate and total for your dates.
Cash, SINPE Móvil, or Visa, Mastercard and Credix cards. Card payments carry a 3% card fee. A credit card secures the booking (no deposit is taken), and any unpaid balance is settled at check-in.

Holiday dates and large bookings have stricter rules (see below).
Yes. If any night of your stay falls in holiday dates, the whole booking can’t be cancelled or changed within 14 days of check-in.
Bookings over $1,000 or taking 30% or more of the hotel follow the group policy: a 30% non-refundable deposit at booking. The dedicated group page says the balance is due, and the booking becomes non-refundable, 90 days before arrival, while the home page mentions 30 days. Please confirm the terms with us in writing.
The cancellation policy of the site you booked on. Check the confirmation they sent you.

According to the booking engine, Room 3 of Villa Escondido (two twin beds, shared bathroom) is on the lower level and suits guests who want to avoid stairs. Ask us to confirm the room and the route to shared spaces before you book.

No, there’s no restaurant service. Beyond breakfast, guests cook in the shared kitchens (or their own, in the apartments) or eat out in Quepos, about 10 minutes’ walk away. In 2022 the hotel also kept a small honour-system shelf of snacks and drinks across from reception.
The hotel’s contrast-therapy session: it starts with guided breathwork and meditation on the rooftop terrace, followed by time in the sauna and the two-person cold plunge. It runs twice a week; the booking page currently lists Wednesday 9:00 AM and Sunday 10:00 AM.
Sessions are on request: book online or message us on WhatsApp. More on the wellness page.
