Eden Atenas Costa Rica

Thank you for you services. We arrived late in the evning due to a land slide on the High Way 8 hours in traffic and where welcomed when we arrived. Humble staff and a very green area many many plants and trees. Would need a TV next year I hope to see you all next year.

Spacious rooms, great terrace, gorgeous property, nicely equipped kitchen, coffee maker & coffee, good shower, fabulous breakfast, helpful manager recommended great restaurants and activities. I would definitely stay there again!

The garden is a masterpiece, and Enid is a virutoso of hospitality. We had not booked this in advance, but our hosts (Enid and Millie) were prompt in responding to our inquiry and helpful in every way. Check-in was easy. The grounds are a tropical wonderland, beautifully scuplted and maintained, showcasing gorgeous foliage and abundant flowers in bloom. Our rooms were impeccably clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The wrap-around balcony overlooks the garden canopy, with rocking chairs and hammocks for comfortable evenings outside. Our hosts helped us find dinner (pizza delivery) since we arrived late, and they provided a hearty and delicious breakfast in the "ranchito," adjacent to a beautiful and sparkling clean cobalt-blue pool suorrounded by lounge chairs and more garden splendor. The climate in Atenas is very pleasant...cooler than at the beaches...and when I commented to Enid on the pura vida vibe of the place she said, "La energia venga de las plantas." Yes, it does. As a host and gardener, Enid is an artist and we were all entirely charmed by this unexpected jewel as our last-stop before saying goodbye to Costa Rica

We had a wonderful 3 day stay at this very beautiful spot. Our hostess was wonderful, and was the cook, and receptionist. It was apparently a slow time of the season, and the only other person to help her called in sick. But she did it all. She made us an amply breakfast, each day consist of fresh fruits. The coffee was great. Due to a power failure she had to make it the Costa Rican style, which we happen to enjoy more than be the electric coffee pot. The room was beautiful, very comfortable bed, clean linens, spacious and hot water for showers, etc. We had a "forest -like" view with an almost wrap around upper terrace. The pool was great to swim in, and the outdoor patio called the Ranch-actually had wood burning place. It seemed hot outside, even at night to warrant burning wood, no matter how romantic it might be. But that is just us. It truely was a retreat-like experience. Another time, it might be different.

I want to thank the wonderful staff for taking care of me and for an adventurous first experience in Costa Rica. I laid back in the hammock on the El Rancho and felt at peace with the nature surrounding me. I will definitely be returning for another trip.
