Historias Lodge

Really nice treat by owners.

It was unusually hot when we visited so the room was really unpleasant. We were able to get a fan for the second night which helped a lot. We were in a main floor room that looked at the parking lot so had to keep our curtains closed otherwise we were on full display. As a result, the room felt dark. Due to the normally damp area, there is a mildew/mold smell about and in the linens. Even though it was hot, things didn't dry anyway. The grounds are nice with beautiful flowers. We saw an agouti out back, too. Lots of restaurants in the area. We cabbed back from town as it's all uphill. There is a friendly orange cat who came by our room to hang out, which we really enjoyed!

Wow! This place is adorable! Flowers and birds everywhere. Miguel, Luis and Jose are so friendly and helpful. We really felt like family as soon as we met them. The breakfast is great and it was fun to watch the birds, even toucanets at the feeders. You can walk to stores and many restaurants, even a couple of nice parks. We’ll be back.

The hotel looks great from the outside and the grounds are nice. Unfortunately, we were put in the room right outside of reception overlooking the carpark. This meant we had to have our curtains shut at all times to prevent everyone going to reception from looking in at us. The room was dated and the bathroom definitely needed modernising. The staff were lovely and very helpful and the hotel had lovely cafes, shops and restaurants within walking distance. We did walk into town a couple of times, but due to the towns topography, the walk into town was a nice downhill stroll, whilst the walk back was a bit of a hike! Saying that, one time, due to the rain, we got a taxi back at a very reasonable price.

Great hotel Nice hotel very close to the centre of Santa Elena. The room was spacious, clean and there is a very green garden. Friendly owner.

Great place to stay! Totally recommend it! The place was very clean and bug free which is the best. Check in and out was super smooth and the staff was amazing and super helpful and understanding.
