"We wanted to book somewhere in the middle of nowhere and this was what we booked. What a stunning view of the surrounding area and the night sky was something I hope I can remember forever. The lodge was what you can expect for the price, certainly adequate enough and breakfast was more than enough and was included too. We arrived just before the season start and I think there’s an image of the jacuzzi but don’t expect it to be operational, no big deal. Have a walk around the local area, there’s...

If you are looking to decompress, enjoy the natural beauty of a massive estate, and breath clean air - this place is the best!!! Jorge, the owner is a veteran of the tourism industry and is extremely knowledgeable about geography, history, pretty much everything Tico. The property has a few pools, a hiking trail, a water slide, horseback riding, zip lining, a jacuzzi, and more. Bring a yoga mat and a bathing suit.

The view from the hotel is incomparable! You can have a very nice breakfast (free) surronded by a breatiful garden while the volcano is right in front of you! There is also a rose garden in the backyard of the hotel. Although it's named as garden, it is really an epitome of larger rain forest! Very nice!!!!! A lot of humming birds! The room is very nice to stay as well! wonderful wonderful experience at decent price!!!!!!!!

Budget stay away from town. Lovely little hotel with hammocks on the porches. Probably not the place for snobby folks since the amenities are pretty basic, but then that's what makes these types of places special. Amazing night sky.

The hotel is ideally located with a spectacular view. It is close to the nature preserve, restaurants, markets. The lobby, sitting area, terraces, and rooms are large and airy. The breakfast was outstanding. The grounds are extensive and had lots of exotic birds to watch. I enjoyed the hotel and will come back to stay again with my family.

Recently hopped around Costa Rica staying at 7 hotels/hostels. I am talking about premium beach front hotels here and Pensión Santa Elena was decidedly our favorite. Not only was it an extremely affordable room but the service was unbeatable.
It is a hostel, so expect a diy wash-your-own-mug type feel. However, I think any sort of traveler would feel welcome and comfortable here.
This review is in no way biased by the taco stand that shares a roof with the pension. It is simply the...
