We really loved this place! The room was larger than a New York City apartment, the grounds were beautifully kept, the pool was clean and lovely and breakfast was good. We only wish we could’ve stayed longer.

The cabins are comfortable and clean, and the A/C worked great. The cabins are surrounded by lovely tropical forest and gardens. We didn’t have time to use the pool, but it looked clean and inviting. Staff are friendly and accommodating. The location is perfect for catching early morning birding tours at nearby Carara NP. Would definitely stay here again.

Large room with cooking facility. Comfortable. Difficult to find without your own means of transport. When the bus dropped us at the main road we called the hotel and a vehicle was quickly sent to pick us up. Because it is so far from shops and restaurants we ordered food via WhatsApp messages to the manageress (Patricia) & she kindly brought it to us in her car. Staff helpful. Breakfast was provided at the pool side. Howler monkeys would start screaming at about 4.30 am

Lovely little spot

What a sweet little spot just outside a small town, but you feel like you're so close to the jungle. We saw a toucan just a few feet from the pool–beautiful! The owner was so friendly and we had a wonderful experience!

Wonderful secluded location in the heart of the forest. The pool was really nice and only 25 metres from our lodge. So much wildlife all around, a pair of Macaws up in a tree and many other species of birds and reptiles. The staff that provided breakfast were wonderfully friendly and overall it was a lovely place to stay.

Exceptional!

This is a wonderful place to stay! You are surrounded by rain forest at the foot of a coastal mountain range and close to the beach and Carara NP. The birding is exceptional, the staff is welcoming and eager to assist, and the “typical “ breakfast is delicious.

This was our favorite property we stayed at during our trip and we stayed at multiple hotels around the country. Staff were amazing, and we loved the pool. It felt very cozy and private and like we had a little jungle paradise to ourselves. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. Only con is we wish their was more wall plugs by the beds. Breakfast was fantastic and we would recommend this hotel to anyone going to Carara National Park.

Interesting property in the jungles. We stayed for one night. The room was nice, but no hot water and smelled like fresh paint. The sheets were not super clean either, but the staff is very helpful and nice. We enjoyed meeting Sandra and others. Decent breakfast.There is a great seafood restaurant next to the property in 1.2km. We loved their chicken soup!
