"Pros: Luz and her family were wonderful hosts. Luz speaks mostly Spanish, so if you don't, Google translate is your friend. She helped me with my Spanish. The bed was comfortable, room was clean, breakfast was eggs, toast, coffee, and fruit usually. One day she made Venezuelan arepa (flatbread). Lots of help with bus information and places to go. They accommodated a couple special requests. Wonderful back patio with hammocks, special lighting, and seating. Games for children. Highly recommend. Wifi was decent, but may not be up to digital nomad standards. Many restaurants and some grocery stores. May need to text owner you are here since gate is locked (WhatsApp +507 6200‑4371) Tip: If you arrive by bus to Rio Hato and take taxi/small bus to location, you may need to say Posada Acuarela, not Acuarela Hostel. Cons: Things to know: only cold water showers (like most places at this price), but the water was tepid, not cold. The room could use a small table and better lighting for those using a laptop. Nearest ATM is at a private resort about 20 - 30 minutes walking distance, so you may want to bring cash with you. Most places take credit cards, but the bus is cash only. The area is quiet, but there are roosters in the neighborhood." ~Linda
