      The hotel has a lot of charm and gives the true feel to Costa Rica. The room was very clean and we would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a great quiet place to stay.

      This little hotel has an amazing view of plya pelada, the hotel is very clean and nice. The complentary breakfast is cooked for you. Our choices were banana pancakes, omelette, both came with fresh local fruit, juice, and coffee. There is no television which was great but wifi is available. We had a great three night stay here and recommend to anyone.

Around 6:30 there is a lady who comes and starts setting up breakfest so you can enjoy a nice up of offee while staring at the mountains and mist covering the trees. Its about a 15 minute […] drive to the town of tarmindo. I strongly recommend renting a car even tho the roads to the hotel are very bumby and unpaved the driving wasn't bad at all... it was the most gorgeous hotel I ever stayed at. ! Read more

    El Sabanero is a wonderful hotel. If you are choosing to drive, it is a little hard to find from the main road. It is located behind a horse ranch. I would recommend it to couples or singles looking to relax and don't mind seclusion. There is no beach access and there are no stores or shops located near the hotel. In order to visit the beach or shops […] you will have to pay $40.00 round trip to take a taxi into the nearby town of Tamarindo. My friend and I went scheduled this vacation together and we cancelled our reservation at El Sabanero and stayed in Tamarindo. Tamarindo is a surfer town that has everything you could think of including a supermarket and disco. Come prepared to spend as I found basic things like food and water to be expensive. We spent a minimum of $20 per person per meal everyday during our stay. Overall, El Sabanero is beautiful and I cant wait to return on a future trip to Costa Rica with my husband. Read more

    El Sabanero is in a very relaxing setting, but it is not located on the beach or near any commercial settings. There is plenty to do close by, and a lot of great beaches to visit, but I would highly recommend renting a car if you plan to stay here unless you plan to sit by the pool, in a hammock or a rocker and just read. We spent the first few days […] of our trip here and it was a great way to ease into our vacation. The owners were present at the hotel and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and that we felt welcome and invited. We would definitely go back. Read more

    Rooms are basic, but clean. common area, grounds and pool are simply delightful. staff is friendly and very helpful - made us feel at home. food is good and prices are reasonable. road into Tamarindo is bumpy. you need to bring soap/shampoo.

    El Sabanero If you’re looking for an adventure close to the beach, yet not at the beach (Tamarindo), this place offers a wonderful site, with humble but clean and relaxing cabins facing a beautiful green terrain surrounded by mountains, cows and birds. DO bring a 4x4 SUV as this place is accessed through a very rough dirt road. From here, you may visit […] Tamarindo, a little beach town (15 minutes away) where you may take a catamaran tour in the open pacific waters (book with hotel), shop and eat (awesome local food, from the hole in the wall serving regional food, to the fancy restaurants, everything was divine!). This is a very safe place but do plan on arriving during the day, as it is a little difficult locating the entrance. This place is good if you want to disconnect from everything, don’t mind fancy amenities, and simply want to relax on a hammock as you listen to Mother Nature sing on the background. It’s very in tune with nature, silence and relaxation. Read more

    El Sabanero was a great value and perfect for our trip! The rooms and lodge were clean and comfortable. We loved the infinity pool and relaxing in the hammocks. The food was great and the free continental breakfast was delicious. The location is close to many beaches and things to see/do.

    Beautiful grounds and a great pool with a view of the mountains. Great accommodations to just sit back on your private porch, enjoy the tropical breeze and observe nature. Then staff is very helpful and are more than happy to help with details or arrange adventure tours. This is a great location to venture out from with many different things to visit […] and see within a short drive. The restaurant has great food and will cook to your taste if you give them a little advance notice on what you would like (within reason of course). Overall we couldn't have asked for a better place for our vacation! Read more

    The road to the hotel is not paved but we knew about that. When we got to the hotel the owner was friendly. During the first day the hot water was not working. We talked to the owner and the next day we had a new shower head. The breakfast I thought it was very basic. Literally a toast, coffee, fruits and juice. But they also had other inexpensive options. […] The cabins didn't have TV or wifi. I honestly didn't care about the TV but I think it would be nice to have wifi in the cabin. The place looks great and is very well taken care of. Overall I had a good experience there and would definitely recommend it if you don't mind being about 20 minutes from Tamarindo beach. Again, the owners are very friendly and will make you feel very comfortable there. Read more

    My girlfriend and I had a very nice time a this hotel , we stayed for 3 days and everything was okay. We stayed in room number 3 and there were no problems at all, the room is clean it has a little porch and everything u need but a TV , there is no Tv but I guess for many people that will no be a problem. The only bad thing was the breakfast , they […] have two ladies in the kitchen who weren't checking at all if the bread or butter ran out so we had to keep asking to bring more stuff out. I believe offering another type of breakfast maybe some eggs or Gallo Pinto ( typical Costarican breakfast ) will not cost them much. In general the hotel is nice. I will probably stay there again if they change what they offer for the Breakfast. Read more

    Nice cabina style hotel. The views from the pool are fantastic - rolling hills and farmers fields. The cabina had a nice outdoor sitting area/porch. Easy to get back & forth to the beach if you have a car. We were disappointed that the included breakfast was small continental style - you can order eggs etc but it costs extra.

    We chose this hotel as it was off the usual tourist trail, small and had excellent reviews on other review websites. We were not dissappointed. From start to finish we were exceptionally well looked after. The hotel is run by a couple who part own the hotel, so have a vested interest in making sure you have the best stay possible. From arranging the […] hotel transfer, recommending and arranging trips to removing the odd tree frog from our room, they could not have been more accomodating. Whilst we travelled as a four, due to the size of the hotel and its informal nature, we frequently socialsed with the other guests and made some new friends in the process. The other hotel staff are also excellent - friendly and can't do enough for you. The rooms are cleaned daily with fresh towels for the room & the pool. The hotel gardens are well maintained - you might even spot the odd monkey swinging in the trees surrounding the hotel. If you are looking for a big, all-inclusive hotel, where you do not leave the complex and you are simply 'just another guest', this is not the place for you. If you are looking for an exceptionally well run, friendly, informal place to to stay and enjoy exploring the country around you, this is the perfect spot. To fully appreciate the local wildlife & unspolit beaches, I would recommend hiring a car - the owners even went with us to pick it up! Overall we had an excellent time and would thoroughly recommend El Sabanero! Read more

    Sinceramente no nos gustó el Hotel, muy largo de las playas, no hay un buen direccionamiento al turista para llegar al hotel. Además el camino es todo de lastre y nada bueno, el carro se maltrata mucho y eso que teníamos un vehículo 4x4 y se perdía mucho el tiempo en el trayecto para llegar a las playas. Las fotos que salen en la página web del hotel […] no se asemejan a la realidad, porque no le han dado mantenimiento a las habitaciones ni a las instalaciones en general. Para poner el agus caliente era una batalla porque o le tiraba el agus muy caliente o muy fría pero costaba mucho llegarle a un punto intermedio, además el aire acondicionado se apagaba a cada rato sin ninguna explicación. Nosotros escogimos el Hotel porque la calificación era excelente y por los comentarios y fotografías del mismo, pero la verdad la realidad es otra y al menos nosotros no volveríamos por allá ni lo reciomendaríamos.
