Costa Rica: Vacanze in Montagna

El Silencio, was outstanding. The staff was great, (counter check in staff could use some work) but the restaurant, bar, outside staff were all excellent. The hot springs exceptional. The resident sloth we enjoyed along with the mini horses, basically the working farm. We did have to get used to the food (not culture wise we are Hispanic) what was offered and how it was offered. after ordering a couple time we figured it out and all was delicious. The location was just out of Fortuna just enough. a few notes. Each hotel offers a “card” for a towel , if you lose the card or lose the towel you are charged $20, losing the card… $20 seriously, this must be a Costa Rica thing as it was the same in a resort we stayed in Jaco. We did not take it and used our own towels, that’s something to be aware of. The farm/small ranch, we did not know El silencio is a working small farm/ranch mini horses, pig, chickens, pheasant. in the mornings the mini horses are let out to graze along with the pig and chickens. ALL this is great EXCEPT, you all know what chickens/roostes do at 4,5&6 am, they CROW LOUDLY. Even with the crowing roosters, we would definitely stay at El Silencio again. Have we could have stayed more nights we would have, we booked in Jaco on a split vacation.

The hotel and rooms were excellent, as was the restaurant and quality of food. Why not 5 star rating? You can’t call yourself a thermal water hotel for which we pay a considerable pre

Tutto perfetto!
