    The final price on booking didn't include 10% taxes, was written in small letter only after clicking on the little info icon. The water from the shower itched in my eyes.

    The place is amazing, very quiet, nice pool, good food, birds. Room upgrade for free to one with stunning seaview

    Excellent hotel with great view, attentive staff, and comfortable rooms.

    The mattresses are very firm, but this may not be a problem for others. Additionally, bedding includes only a top sheet and two pillows, which may not meet the needs of many guests. There were periodically some medium-sized spiders in the room, but the hotel is located in a dense, undisturbed jungle, where I'd hope there are more spiders than humans!

    I was in town for my cousin's wedding at TreeCasa, and was recommended to stay at El Jardin with some of the other wedding guests. I am very happy I did. The view is incredible and the setting very intimate. El Jardin has wonderful, attentive staff and offers an experience that feels like a welcoming B&B, homey and without the cost and pretentiousness of a larger corporate hotel. The breakfast provided daily is very good, as are the offerings on the lunch menu. The room was comfortable and clean, with a view of the ocean. Transportation to and from the hotel was easy, as the staff was happy provide the contact of a taxi driver (which driver was happy to provide transportation for us on our request throughout our stay in SJDS). I had a great stay at El Jardin and highly recommend it.

    The road is difficult to drive. We came during the rainy season with a small two-wheel drive. We made it up the hill, but some may find it to be tricky. I imagine it's not as bad during the dry season.

    Beautiful view, clean pool, nice eating area to see the view. Staff was very attentive.

    My room (#1) was small and dark, but I guess it is the only one. (I booked late.) Nice and roomy shower, though. The road to the hotel was in very bad condition, taking 15~20 minutes and USD $15-20 by taxi.

    Very nice, helpful and polite staff, genuinely trying to understand my very poor Spanish. Tasty Italian style food in the restaurant. Very nice breakfast with many choices. Nice pool and stunning view over the jungle to the sea. Beautiful sunset. Found a nice forest route for walking nearby, though finding it was a bit tricky.

    We booked what was available through Booking, and the room didn't have a balcony. We had to request another room. Good thing they had it but a slightly higher rate.

    Excellent choices of breakfast, enjoyed the fresh fruits.

    The staff was excellent. Very gracious and helpful. I even had a small problem with my car and they found me a mechanic who came to the hotel and fixed my car on the spot. The food was great and the views are exquisite. Loved the pool. Would recommend to anyone looking for a hotel off the beaten path!
