“Clean, comfortable and quiet stay close to Liberia airport.”
+Great place for an overnight in Liberia ($20 taxi from airport). Rooms are private, clean and comfortable with great a/c. Beautiful and quiet open areas. Walking distance to restaurants and shops. Staff helped me get a taxi to take me to pick up my rental after check out which was very helpful!
−No concerns.

+Very friendly and helpful staff. Good value, as it is pretty cheap. The size of our room was great for 2 with a decent size bag each and the wifi and tv worked great. The garage was very accessible and felt a lot safer than parking on the street.
−Liberia as a city was not that exciting in my mind. Would have stayed longer if the city was more interesting. A pretty cheap place to stay of you are exploring rincon de la vieja and surrounding area with a car, but I would probably try to stay closer to the action.

“Our time at El Pretal was excellent, and we would look forward to another visit.”
+We were pleasantly surprised to see that there was coffee, tea, sugar, spices, milk powder and oatmeal available for guests. Our main contact, Guillermo was very pleasant and helped us out. Other staff were friendly and accomodating. On our second visit we noticed that there was a laundry drying area with clotheslines and pegs for guests.

+Really lovely place. The owners are so kind. I arrived early and they suggested a tour that I could take to La Leona waterfall to make the most of my last day in Costa Rica. They arranged the driver and everything for me which was great. I otherwise was just going to sit around the hostel for my last day. Facilities are super nice, good kitchen, super comfy beds and pillows and nice having a private room.

+Lo que rescato siempre en primer lugar, es la atención de las personas y en este caso fue de primera, desde el momento mismo en que hice la reservación hasta mi llegada, durante mi estancia y cuando me retiré. Además posee una excelente ubicación y las instalaciones son de calidad, mucha limpieza y el departamento tiene todo lo que se necesita para estar cómodo, más bien por el tiempo que uno pasa dentro de las instalaciones, no da tiempo para sacar provecho a todo lo que ofrecen
