My stay at the hotel was fantastic. The rooms were very clean and an incredible value - we had more beds than we needed, and the separate master bedroom was a nice touch. However, the thin walls made it a bit noisy, especially being so close to the main road. The location was peaceful yet convenient, just a stone's throw from the heart of Santa Elena.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were beautiful, clean, and modern with plenty of beds and a fridge; however, they can be noisy as they open off the central reception. The service was exceptional, with staff speaking good English and being extremely helpful, even feeding the coatis and providing advice on tours and excursions. The location, just outside of town but a short walk from Santa Elena, was very convenient. The dining experience, although limited in choices, was freshly made and included in the price. The facilities were great, making my stay very comfortable and enjoyable.

The hotel is conveniently located just outside the main hub, making it easy to explore downtown Santa Elena on foot. The rooms, though standard in size for Costa Rica, boast beautiful wood furnishings. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable about tours and excursions, providing excellent service. However, the breakfast offerings lack variety, and there are no choices available. The facility is well-kept and offers a tranquil setting.

Staying at Las Orquideas was a lovely experience overall. The hotel offers beautiful grounds and gardens to relax in, but being located slightly outside the main building entrance can be a small inconvenience.

My stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the location was a bit noisy being close to the main road. The service was top-notch, although they didn't accept American Express as advertised. The convenient location and welcoming staff were definitely highlights, but the noise level and payment inconvenience were drawbacks.
