"We found Casa Bella Rita on the TripAdvisor Site and it was so highly rated I decided to give it a try. From my first email correspondance with Rita I felt right at home and well taken care of. Everything worked out just as we planned. I prepaid for the room with a US check to her US bank account, which saved me the hassle of paying during our stay. The Inn is very beautiful and our room upstairs on the 3rd level was much nicer and bigger than the picture on-line...and we thought it looked great on-line. Rita and Steve were indeed very friendly and helpful. The Inn was a beautiful place to stay. Our walk into Ciudad Colon was a fun adventure. My kids loved the dogs and birds. And most importantly, Steve and Rita were completely cool with our 4:40AM departure for a 7:00AM flight home. Rita even drove us to the airport and prepared us some homemade snacks for breakfast. I would recommend Casa Bella Rita without hesitation. "
