If you love nature, wellness with a touch of reasonable luxury, this place is quite simply one of the best hotels for you. My wife and I fell in love and it quickly rose up to be one of our best ever stays. The staff were attentive to our every need and personalized our stay beautifully. The rooms were exceptional and the location is great. Everything worked out great on our first visit to Costa Rica because of Esh Hotel.

This was a great place to stay! We loved the open shared areas and the pool. The rooms were clean and tidy. We thought the people running the place were so kind and helpful, really made sure that we felt welcome. It’s about a 5-10 min walk into town but also there are shops and cafes closer. The little restaurant attached was gorgeous as well.

I went to celebrate my anniversary with my wife and I loved the detail of putting balloons, roses and towel swans on the bed to welcome us. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. I will definitely return. Thank you for everything.

La Quebrada was gorgeous, comfortable, and the pool was fabulous. The owner was very accomodating when we needed to change the rooming situation to fit our needs. The place is impeccably clean and the individual casitas superbly comfortable with quality beds and fun private outdoor showers. The best part: the small village within an easy walking distance is what Costa Rica used to be years ago. And the birdlife - getting up early, making coffee (provided) and listening & seeing the birds was a treat.

Paradise resort with great pools and remarkable service. I'd like to address some of the occasional negative reviews regarding the dining experience at this resort: This is a moderate priced resort in a high price country. The food is excellent and we loved it, but it is not the 5-Star gourmet dining you get in a 5-times-more-expensive french ski resort.

The location is stunningly beautiful. The Dome tent was spacious and very comfortable. The food was very good and the service from all the staff was friendly, efficient and could not be faulted in any way. Young Chris deserves special mention for his exceptional service and friendliness.
