Hotel Casa Turire

We REALLY loved hotel Casa Turiri. We stayed in Room 9 which overlooked the pool, it had a beautiful view of the grounds. Oh, and the grounds are absolutely beautiful! Our room was nicely furnished, the bed was comfortable. The staff was very friendly, they went out of their way to help us. The restaurant is good, very good for rural Costa Rica. Every dish came out hot! I read all the reviews on many different websites and would like to suggest; Bring ear plugs. This is a small hotel, there is noise. But that isn't unique, it is Costa Rica (the noise wasn't even that annoying). Once everything was quiet, the sounds of nature were very peaceful. It is nice to wake up early and sit on the balcony and meditate on all the beauty and music of nature. I think you will love it here. We DID!

I think this hotel has seen better days. The grounds were very nice and the room clean and fairly comfortable. The room lacked drapes (aside from a privacy sheer) so that made the sunrise rather evident when we would have rather slept in. Dinner at the restaurant was well presented and service was very friendly. Some croquettes on the side of a "tipico" dish were served still frozen inside. The restaurant comped the cost of the meal but this was surprising for what appears to be a fancy restaurant (I would have thought these and many other parts of the meal would have been prepared fresh but many items were from frozen as well). Several other dishes were so-so. Breakfast the next morning was filling with wonderful service but the food was again lacking.
