Nice place to relax in a more rural setting
As a family of 3 adults, we enjoyed our stay at Roy's guest house. We chose it in part for its more rural setting though it is very close to town. We had hoped to use the large pool and hiking trails at the Adventist camp next door, but it was closed due a large event they were holding. We were pleased that the event was not noisy and Roy's place stayed quiet and peaceful. The guest house is some distance from the main house which is located on the other side of the pool. It is quite compact. It has a good fridge, washer, convection stove top and comfortable furnishings apart from the bunk bed mattresses - might be OK just for small children. There are fans and screens in the windows and bedroom patio door. We thought the ventilation of the house could be improved if there were screens in the living room patio door and back door so the air could flow through. It was hot so the lack of hot water wasn't too much of an issue. The pool and a hammock area in the trees were lovely places to cool off. We enjoyed walking around Roy's property - nice fruit trees. We really enjoyed the fresh orange juice Roy's son brought to us! The paths along the river were not open due to debris that needed to be cleared from a storm. Roy and his family were friendly, knowledgeable, kind and very helpful and we enjoyed our visits with them. They offer authentic Costa Rican meals for guests and we regret not taking them up on that. Thank you Roy & family!
