Hotel Colinas del Sol

Hotel Colinas del Sol is a mini-resort, a destination hotel. After noisy nights at beach or resort hotels in tourist towns, the quiet is amazing. The grounds are a garden of Eden with numerous birds, shaded paths, and cupolas. The restaurant serves a good breakfast and serves dinner 5 days per week, and lunch 3 days per week. A measure of the care which is taken is that the newer rooms on a hill have plants designed to attract hummingbirds in the concrete planter. Our room did not have AC, but it wasn't necessary. Atenas claims that it has the best climate in the world and I agree. The temperatures which might seem uncomfortably high are not because the humidity is so low in January. The owners and staff are friendly, helpful, and speak excellent English. One of the owners/managers is German so it is also German friendly. It is about 15 minutes walk or 5 minute drive from the center of Atenas where there are numerous supermarkets, restaurants, and bakeries. Atenas is an upscale little town - the neighborhood is upscale and safe. Single women walk at night.

We arrived late after a long day of travel with two children. We had been traveling throughout Costa Rica for the past week and were looking for a place to stay after leaving Jaco and within an hour of San Jose Airport. Everyone was very friendly, hospitable and welcoming. The food was delicious. Service was great. Our room was was quaint, clean and relaxing. Needed a few extra blankets for the children and they were more than happy to get those for us. Room and especially the Bathroom was very nice and clean. We wish we could have arrived earlier to enjoy the pool during the day and maybe stayed and extra day. The sharp left turn getting off the road from Jaco, threw us off a bit, but trust your Waze app. Hotel Colinas is tucked away in a cozy little spot with nice grounds with plants and trees. We would like to say thank you to the folks there with our late evening dinner.

Cute authentic Costa Rica style casita. The whole property was very nice and we were woken in the morning by local roosters which was perfectly fine! Location was very close to town and the staff was outstanding.

We arrived late but the hote kept their kitchen open so they could give us a delicious pre ordered dinner. The room was perfect with a great shower and comfortable mattress and we had the best night’s sleep ever - waking up to the sound of beautiful birdsong. The flora is amazing and we spent hours looking at the birds, butterflies and plants in the grounds before having a refreshing swim. The breakfast was fantastic and all the staff were lovely.

The hotel grounds were beautiful and we loved the little porch on our villa. The staff were friendly and very helpful.
