Wonderful people run this beautiful little place. It's authentic and charming. What a wonderful reprieve after a very long day of travel. The views and breakfast are amazing.

It is tucked away outside of town. Not a large property and I don’t recommend getting here after dark since the road is difficult to see. The windows were open and the bugs were ready to eat us as we tried to sleep. It was pretty hot with the windows closed too (no a/c which is as expected). The bed was painfully hard and uncomfortable. On the good side, the family that owns/runs the place it is incredibly nice. Breakfast was a typical Costa Rican breakfast and was great. Negra the dog is very friendly. FYI Crispy Wings down the street is a good place to go if you like wings.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Casa Amanecer, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food during every meal was nothing short of amazing—every dish was thoughtfully prepared, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. It's clear that the chefs put their heart and soul into every meal. We were there 6 out of our 10 nights and it was always perfect.The service was also top-notch. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, making sure that every aspect of our visit was perfect. They went out of their way to accommodate our needs and made us feel truly welcome.The rooms were immaculately clean and beautifully designed, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that enhances the dining experience. Casa Amanecer is a gem, and I can't recommend it highly enough! I was there for the 10 day taste of Costa Rica tour provided by @Amancertours.

Amazing! I cannot say enough about this lovely B&B. The food is absolutely amazing. The service is better than anything I have ever experienced. Gorgeous views, peaceful surroundings, and the best tour offered by Amanecer Tours. The 10 day Taste of Costa Rica was a life changing experience. You MUST visit!

Dona Luisa and Lucas open their home and their hearts to my wife and I when we were stranded due to a severe storm. With no accommodations available they let us into their home and took care of us like family. That is the kind of hospitality you will find here. Is a beautiful place. Food is delicious. But the warmth of the people and care of the host are amazing! Thank you!!!

We travel often and have stayed at many different hotels, resorts, and airbnbs, but this has by far been the most pleasant experience. The owner (Helen) was so kind, generous, and hospitable. We initially booked one room for five people and she ended up giving us a second room so we could be more comfortable. We had to check-in later at night and we were so tired after a long drive but it was fast and easy and she made us feel at home and at ease right away. We also had to check-out later due to our ride situations and she had no problem letting us do that. The house itself is beautiful and the outdoor dining area is so peaceful, the food/coffee was delicious, and the beds were comfortable. The whole experience was so relaxing, stress-free, and it was exactly what we needed to rest in the middle of our trip. Would highly recommend this to anyone coming to Costa Rica.Thank you so much! 🙂

My friend and I had such a lovely stay here. We booked VERY last minute because of travel delays, and one of the owners came and met us in the pouring rain to let us in. She then made us tea and brought us some homemade bread, and watched a bit of a lightning storm with us. Seriously the sweetest ladies running this place. The place itself is beautiful, as is the view! I would recommend this stay to anyone.

Of the 7 hotels we stayed at in Costa Rica, this was one of our favourites. The hospitality, most delicious breakfast, beautiful scenery, all the neighbourhood dogs, secure gated property... Everything was amazing.The king sized bed plus a single bed in the room meant that we could fit our family of 3 very comfortably, as well.The host recommended a very cool restaurant/bar down the street as well that served fried chicken and beer for very good prices and friendly staff, where we got to watch Jumanji in Spanish.

This place is truly a hidden gem! We loved relaxing in the rocking chairs on the huge porch with an amazing view. Our hosts were so kind and attentive to our every need. The breakfast was one of the best meals we enjoyed on our trip. Highly recommend staying here if you’re headed to La Fortuna from San Jose!

Casa Amanecer is a true gem. Tucked into the outskirts of San Ramon it would be a terrific first night stay for anyone traveling via San Jose and headed for the beaches. The place is spotless, in perfect repair, and the attention of Helen to your every need/want makes it a treat. We stayed there on our arrival, and then booked another night just to enjoy a little peaceful rest after the surf towns of the Pacific. I will happily return any chance I get.
