Loma Tranquila

This was a beautiful family run business with amazing views. Never have I felt closer to nature or the people of Costa Rica. The host was amazing, super helpful and kind, she made us homemade traditional Costa Rican breakfast every morning. She made herself available at all hours, even when we had to checkout at 2am for our flight home. Parking onsite, and 7 minute drive from down town Alajuela. The view from each room and amenity is breathtaking, the pool is clean and a pleasant escape from the midday heat. The property is a tropical paradise with mesmerizing foliage and wildlife, you can pick ripe bananas in the garden and share them with their pet bunnies (Mango & Waffles) who roam the property daily. I like sit by the overlook in the parking lot with the humming birds and butterflies. This would be a great vantage point for bird watching so pack your binoculars! There’s a handful of very good local restaurants within walking distance, our favorites including El Gordo’s (furthest distance, $$$) & Zompopa Pizza (mid distance, $). This was my favorite part of Costa Rica and I would love to stay here again.

What a truly magical place! The view alone is worth the stay, as Loma Tranquila fully lives up to it's name. To add to an already amazing experience, the host is absolutely wonderful- cooking up a delicious breakfast each morning, and happily attending to whatever you may need, with great recommendations and even some money-saving connections for tours! It's her personal touches that put Loma Tranquila above and beyond. Would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful and rejuvenating vacation in Costa Rica with an authentic local vibe.

This little room in Costa Rica was well maintained and even though it was in a dead end it was in a good location with restaurants and supermarkets nearby!

Beautiful spot, kind staff, free breakfast!
