La Terraza Guest House B&B

La Terraza Guest House B&B is beautifully set in rich and beautiful terrain and well landscaped. We were made to feel welcome, and staff went out of their way to make us comfortable and respond to our requests. Charles, the owner, was helpful, but beyond that introduced us to a part of his community and helped us understand how, with respect, the community in Costa Rica makes themselves available to share in their ways and spirit. At the same time, the breakfasts are delicious, beautifully plated and presented in that Pura Vida spirit, cleaning and laundry services excellent, with help connecting us with other resources to tour the area. Nearby the dining area are birdfeeders that attract hummingbirds and several other species that add to the relaxing and engaging experience of simply hanging out there. Charles is a warm and clever man with years of experience at his fingertips - we felt we connected with a friend. The appliances, electronics, wi-fi service and utensils in the rooms were easily available and set out. The property was meticulously looked after, clean and well managed. There were little things that matter, like flowers, wine, fresh water and fruit juice in the frige even a couple of muffins as a welcoming. There is a coffee maker in each room. We recommend this place without reservation to anyone looking for a good experience staying in Grecia.

Catherine Schoeppe This B&B is the BEST in Grecia, and the Owner, Charles, will not only become your friend, but he will be there to help you with your trip in Costa Rica and any "inside" information you might need. He is well known and respected in the area. The property has unbelievable flora, and special moments next to the creek. Pura Vida....is true. Where else can you drink the water from the tap??? We spent 2 weeks there and are going back. There is too much to eat, drink and explore.

The breakfast is fantastic, something fresh and different every day. The room and grounds are wonderful. Our host, Charles, knows everything about the area and has been a huge help. We feel very lucky we chose La Terraza! We plan on coming back as soon as we can!

Somehow squeezed in a a neighborhood area, but vewry nicely arranged. We hadt he big "El Rio" suite which was very well equipped, incl. kitchenette as well as balcony where you can drink your evening beer or glass of wine. There is a little park around the river, very nice indeed. The service is very friendly and the breakfast tastes very well.

We stayed for 2 nights after flying into San Jose, were met at the airport as promised and then greeted by Charles on arrival at the property. Our room was very clean and comfortable, the breakfast delicious and the surrounding gardens were beautiful with the river lulling us to sleep. Most importantly, we were so well looked after. My husband and I would like to thank Charles, Paola and Bryan for such a warm welcome to Costa Rica.

I can’t express enough how special my stay was at La Terraza Guest House B&B. From a lodging standpoint it was spectacular. The grounds were gorgeous the room was spacious and comfortable with the added touch of a stunning view from a lovely balcony. But what truly staod out the most for me was the above and beyond guest services. From the welcoming kitchen staff who prepared attractive and delicious meals with a smile, to the management, who has blown away any other experience I’ve had in customer service. Charles operates as a concierge and a “matchmaker.” In my case, that meant making anything happen for desired plans and activities as well as arranging for me to meet with new friends in preparation for relocating to the area. I am so grateful to Charles for putting me in safe hands with drivers he has known for years. Not only did they get me to my destination but all of them have become friends. This isn’t a typical B&B. Prepare to feel like family.

My husband and three other couples stayed at La Terraza for a couple of nights, we were on the last leg of our vacation. The experience was very delightful. My husband and I had the honeymoon suite. We checked in and were greeted with delicious banana bread muffins as a welcome gift. The rooms were neat and clean. Charles, the owner was wonderful, and aimed to please when it came to breakfast. We plan on returning to La Terraza on our next trip to Costa Rica.

If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable, and hospitable b&b along with a great host and staff, look no further. My husband & I, along with 3 other couples have just returned from Grecia, Costa Rica, we stayed at La Terraza Guesthouse B&B. Our host Charles Owens welcomed us as if we were long time friends. Breakfast was nice with enough variety to satisfy our entire group. The staff was pleasant and always accommodating to ensure we had all we needed while visiting. Thank you Charles & your staff for such a nice experience. We’ll definitely stay with you again.

I really hate to give bad reviews, but I feel compelled to let people know what we encountered. The grounds were every bit as lovely as described and the breakfast was very nice. There was safe parking inside the gate (although limited). All was wonderful...except our room. DO NOT BOOK EL NIDO. All of the rooms are close to the river, except El Nido. This room is above the office next to the street. You climb a steep set of wire stairs and open a wire cage to enter the room. It was EXTREMELY noisy until around 2:30am and then again beginning around 5:00am. We had almost no sleep. From loud motorcycles, people screaming profanities, barking dogs, car alarms, and truck it was a barrage of unavoidable disturbance. When large trucks passed by, the bed vibrated - this is NOT an exaggeration. This room should be turned into a hostel room or half the price with a disclaimer or discontinued altogether. I'm so disappointed as, if we had stayed in one of the other rooms, I think we would have had a wonderful experience. I brought this up to the manager (the owner was not present) and she was completely unapologetic. Buyer beware.
