El Cafetal Inn provides a level of tranquility that cannot be matched by any city hotel, and is a perfect place to wash air travel from your memory. A finer welcome you could not hope to receive and you will immediately feel the warmth of family when you enter this pleasant scene. Overflowing with life and vitality, your worldly hostess Lee circulates amongst the guests, warming their hearts with genuine friendship. Her husband Romy cheerfully prepares the evening meal in the open kitchen, exercising his considerable culinary skills with the able assistance of their grown children and smiling staff. Set on a hillside amidst working coffee plantations, it is positioned on the edge of a forested canyon that falls away to the Colorado River below. Being at a high altitude, the tropic air is cooled to a most pleasant temperature, maintained by a constant cooling breeze embracing you during the day. The hotel provides magnificent rural vistas to the relaxing guest. Some of the best food available in the country is served in casual elegant style on the terraces below the hotel, where the dinner or breakfast guest will savour the fine aromas emanating from the grill. Your hosts also have a gourmet restaurant nearby, so it is no wonder! Lee the matchmaker will seat you with compatible travelers who will be happy to compare notes on their Costa Rica experiences, and invariably El Cafetal gets top marks amongst other hotels tried in Costa Rica! The Inn is set well back from the country road and the lounge, deck, and pool areas are totally private and consequently very relaxing. Rooms vary in style but all share rich native wood trim and cabinetry and of course, great views. This is a wonderful place to start (or end) your Costa Rican vacation.
