Accessibility

November 15, 2009 NOTE- Due to the financial crisis in the United States and most other countries in the world, I have not been able to secure a mortgage in Costa Rica. Therefore, my accessability renovations including the installation of the elevator and improvements to the bathrooms have been unavoidably delayed. This project is my highest priority. It will be completed at the earliest possible date. I apologize to all persons with disabilities who are considering coming here in the next few months. Please check regularly for updates, or send an email to INFO@TRANQUILLITYHILL.COM - I will add you to my mailing list and you will be notified as soon as the renovations have been completed.

This is the perfect place for a unforgettable first visit to Costa Rica. The view! Spectacular! The entire home is surrounded by trees, plants, flowers; it is quite breathtaking.  The service is excellent. Every member of the staff are helpful and friendly and are willing to give their time to drive their guests around and show you their beautiful country.  Congratulations to the chef Danny: the food was outstanding and service is unparalleled.  In the 9 days I was staying at Tranquillity Hill, I managed to get as much as possible out of each day.  I saw monkeys (capuchian), several different birds, but I was amazed by the butterflies! They are everywhere and land on your arms and have no fear of humans. Staying at Tranquillity Hill was an experience I will never forget and I will be returning at my most earliest opportunity.
