Maybe this property better fits younger people. We are in our late 60's and 70's and we need more space and better accomadations. And it was too far from the ocean.

Just OK lodging

Overall mediocre.. mostly due to rude neighbors and lots of dogs barking. I realize staff can't really do anything about neighborhood dogs but from all the reviews I read I was expecting to be woke up by howler monkeys... The rooms are about 2 meters apart and have only screens for windows (which I didn't read about anywhere in the description) so if you have neighboring guests who are the least bit loud during the "horizonal hokey pokey" ( haha the "s" word is apparently inappropriate language) you're going to hear it.. every bit of it. Bring ear plugs. Other than that, it served it's purpose but nothing special.

Lovely but rustic. If you want a quiet, secluded experience then this is your place. It's like camping but with solid walls and running water. Very relaxing and don't worry about no air con, the fans in the room cool it nicely at night.

Think camping in a cabin with beds

The cabin was very clean, no bugs or mosquitos (glad, because there were holes in our mosquito netting). Bed comfortable, but if you need quiet or complete darkness to sleep, you won't sleep well - tropical insects are LOUD at night and curtains didn't completely cover windows so light comes in. No free water bottles as advertised. Reception was closed at 8 am. . .

Cabin in paradise

I spent 9 nights at that wonderful place! The room was very clean, with everything you need. Fridge, shower, pan, coffee maker, plates etc. the bed was very comfortable. Hot water. Location is great, close to super market( less than 10 mins walk), close to some restaurants, short walk to the beach( like 10 mins through the forest ) :)))) If you are looking for a nice quite vacation that's the right place to stay! If you need more action you can take a bus which is minutes away from the place and runs every 2 hours and it will bring you to the heart of Puerto Viejo within 15 mins. Manager and owners are wonderful! Very helpful and what is more important- inspiring!:))))) The garden on the territory is amazingly beautiful, tons of green plants and flowers! I honestly felt like I was in paradise! Absolutely in love and already miss my vacation! Highly recommending that place!

nice bungalows for a relax escape

the owners and staff are really nice and gave a really good service, the bungalow is nice too, the only thing is that the kitchen is really small and could have a little more things to cook with... but the rest was really good, and good location
