La Colina

Well equipped kitchen, ideal to prepare the food! decent fridge size, and many cooking utilities. Hot water all the time. Pool not much useful, but you have a sea within a longer walk! look up your windows: we spotted multiple times Toucans and a Slath that apparently stays there above as a permanent resident :)

Good service from staff and great facilities

We had no hot water for 3 days. I was consistently trying to resolve our concerns. The management did not even try to compensate for the situation. I would advise to try another place.

You won’t find a view like this at this price anywhere else—if you book an ocean-view room. The hotel has seen better days, but its charm more than makes up for it. The beds are comfortable, and the historic gardens and jungle vibe hillside architecture are stunning. Wood beams, winding staircases (you need strong legs), exotic plants, and old trees add to the atmosphere. We saw monkeys and macaws and sloths and a toucan from the balcony. The restaurant is beautiful, though the little food we tried didn’t inspire us to return. Luckily there are plenty of great food options within walking distance. We highly recommend “chillax bistro” for breakfast.

Classic old Costa Rica. We had misfortune to be underneath a room where they partied at 2 am. But breakfast was good and the exercise of walking up to the room was ok. Colina means Hill in English
