Hotel Rancha Azul — Hotel in Tambor

I had such a wonderful and memorable stay here at Rancha Azul. I thank Doris and her whole family for making me feel so welcomed, safe, and cared for. I was traveling solo from the U.S., and wanted to stay somewhere outside of San Jose, to experience the nature and views. If you enjoy the quiet, birds, and stars, you must stay here! My room was very comfortable, with beautiful flowers outside my window, and the sounds of so many beautiful birds.

There are many common spaces for eating or relaxing. The balcony’s (there are 2!) are where I spent most of my time. You can watch sunrise to sunset, and see all kinds of wildlife. On my last night, I sat in the hammock and watched all of the shooting stars.

For me, the location was excellent. Easy drives to volcanos, waterfalls, and Monte Verde.

Breakfast was excellent and well prepared with fresh fruits, eggs, rice, beans and plantains. The coffee was delicious!

They can provide secure parking if you need it, and were very kind to give me a ride to the airport.

I highly suggest this location to anyone looking to take advantage of nature, the day time activities, and looking for a cozy experience a little closer to home.

I had such a surprisingly delightful stay back in September. I chose this bnb randomly on Expedia to stay one night on my way out of the country. Doris is such a warm soul. She made me a delicious lunch and dinner and made sure I had breakfast early in the morning before my flight. The place is comfortable with special touches throughout. It's small and feels like home, with spectacular views and exceptional service. This is truly a...

Wir haben uns diese Unterkunft ausgesucht, weil wir relativ schnell zum Vulkan Poás kommen wollten. Da der LH Flug abends ankommt und wir gleich für den nächsten Morgen um 9.00 Uhr die Führung reserviert hatten, war die Kombination optimal. Die Gastwirtin Doris war sehr nett und zuvorkommend und hat uns mit vielen guten Tipps und Anregungen schon vor der Anreise und während des Aufenthalts versorgt. Das Zimmer war gut ausgestattet und lag im kleinen Innenhof, das Badezimmer war klein, aber ausreichend. Unser Auto konnten wir auf dem geschlossenen Privatgelände parken. Das Frühstück bestand aus frischem Obst, Kaffee/Tee, Gallo Pinto (Reis mit Bohnen), Speck und Ei - also ganz typisch für Costa Rica - und schmeckte lecker. Wie gesagt, für unser Vorhaben war die Unterkunft optimal, ohne Auto oder wenn man gerne abends zu Fuß in ein Restaurant möchte, liegt sie aber zu weit außerhalb...
