I had booked at another hotel in Santa Elena when I came across Cabinas Eddy on Trip Advisor. After reading all of the wonderful reviews, I decided to cancel my reservation at the other place (which was double the price) and book here instead. I certainly did not have any regrets.

Freddy, wow, what a nice man. After he checked us in, he offered us coffee and he sat down with us to go over a map of the area and recommendations for free hikes, places to eat or paid tours. The one on one interaction was great and we felt like he really cared that we had a good stay. Freddy and his staff work very hard and were always smiling and pleasant.

The private room was very cute and very comfortable. We had an upstairs room with a shared balcony and two large windows looking out. There was one comfortable double bed, and a chair to put our bags on. The bathroom was a little small, but had a great hot water shower. Great value for $30/night.

Breakfast was delicious. Freddy gives you a choice of a few things, but I would suggest you try his banana pineapple pancakes as they are to die for. Hands down the best breakfast that I had on my entire trip and it's included in the nightly rate. Once you're up in the morning Freddy will ask you if you want coffee or tea and then takes your breakfast order and makes it fresh for you. Wonderful service.

The location of the hotel is just down a hill from the main part of town which was great for low noise levels & access to restaurants. We felt very safe at all times walking around at night and found the locals & other toursists very friendly. Santa Elena was a great town to visit and we will be going back for a second visit and will definitely stay at Cabinas Eddy.

Als wir morgens um 7 Uhr in San Juan del Sur ins Taxi steigen, wissen wir zwar, dass es kein kurzer Transfertag wird. Dass wir aber nach Monteverde über 10 Stunden unterwegs sein würden, war nicht vorauszusehen. Gleich 3 Faktoren summierten sich: eine ewig lange Wartezeit an der Grenze von Nicaragua zu Costa Rica (2,5h), größere Zeitlücken beim …

To think we almost skipped Monteverde!

Day 1
Since MA to Monteverde would take 7 hours by bus, we opted to book a 4 hour shuttle for $45 each. The shuttle picked us up in the afternoon and to our surprise, we were the only passengers so we were able to stretch out and relax. As we drove first along the coast, then into more mountainous and agricultural areas, I was instantly amazed …

To our delight, we spoke with our new Norwegian friends, Anders and Henriette on our last night in San Juan and discovered they too were headed to Tamarindo. Unfortunately, the Tica bus was full so they would just meet us there. Crossing into Costa Rica was the most difficult so far. We read in our guidebook that you must provide proof of a ticket …

Driving into Monteverde, Costa Rica is kind of like driving into an amusement park. While the ride itself feels like a roller coaster going up and down the mountainous landscape, as you enter you are bombarded with signs welcoming you and telling you to "stay here" or "take this tour." The signs are a bit overwhelming and nothing like anything we' …
