Stayed here for two nights - this place truly is a hidden gem. Owners are lovely, approachable, quick to help and give assistance, talk with you. Kids were friendly and they had pets. Food was superb - vegetarian, filling and wholesome without feeling gross (difficult in CR), easy to accommodate our dietary wishes. Dinner is highly recommended. We were happy to observed that the owners and their family eat what they are serving you. Setting is beautiful and there is an unusual attention to design that works really well; this was a place where I felt I could trust their "eco" label without hesitation. Only minor qualm is location - you need a short drive into town if you want to eat out, get groceries, get a bus, etc. Still, would strongly recommend to anyone who can reach here and we hope their home/hotel continues to prosper.

Very nice place to stay with modern, clean rooms in a quiet setting. We also had diner there which was very good and healthy. The hosts are very friendly and caring to ensure a pleasent stay. Safe parking & free WiFi.

The B&B can be reached comfortably in 1h from the airport in San Jose, so defentivly worth to stay there at the beginning or the end of your Costa Rica journey. Otherwise Arenal is not far either and the area is nice as it is located higher than the coast and is therefore less hot but still very mild.

My wife and I spent three days at this clean, calming and beautiful B and B and had a great time. Chris and Luisa are fabulous hosts and have made something very special here. If you are at all into building design you should stay here. The home is made of teak and has fabulous light filtering through the custom window shades. It's like waking up inside a Japanese lantern. Request the meals. Chris and Luisa provide great vegetarian food. And if you are looking for quetzals, book a tour through Chris with Ignacio. We saw four of the elusive birds. A short drive from the airport, it's a great way to break up the drive to Arenal and other points north.

Our family of four just returned from a week in Costa Rica and our first night was spent at Casa Amanecer. I booked two rooms for just one night and after being there for less than an hour my 13 year old son wondered why we wouldn't be staying longer. My kids loved the rabbits, we loved the hospitality and the views. The rooms are small but very comfortable and the real gem of this place is the beautiful veranda with sweeping views of the surrounding hillsides and town. There are comfortable rocking chairs and wireless internet access. The breakfast was filling and delicious and the innkeeper has many books and resources to help plan your stay in Costa Rica. I am sorry to have not met the owners in person (they were travelling) because all the email exchanges led me to believe that they are lovely people. We were very well taken care of in their absence, though. It is not a matter of whether I will return to Casa Amanecer but rather when I will return.
