Gorgeous, off the beaten path place with excellent food options for breakfast and lunch. Sleeping in the tent was a lot of fun, there are a lot of activities offered, a private path to the beautiful beach, and a family-oriented atmosphere. My one and only complaint is that the tent definitely had some mold growing on it. Otherwise everything was very clean, but it did make me a little squeamish sleeping in this space.

Quick walk to the beach and a really nice pool, the staff was really friendly and offered suggestions on activities in the area. A fan was provided with the tent but it was still hot, there were a lot of bugs, so bring a mosquito net.

Disliked: Room comfort

Be warned, the tents get unbearably hot

The tent heated up to about 60 degrees and was like a sauna and unbearable from about 8:30am.

Very nice getaway in the jungle.

We stayed with a family of 4 in a bigger tent and had a nice relaxing weekend and loved the hotel plus the nice pool. Also its location close to a beautiful beach is great.

Unique Accommodations

It’s unique we enjoyed our stay even the howler monkeys at 5AM, however tent walls are not soundproof. Only open for 6 weeks and still didn’t have credit card device. A little difficult to find like everything in Costa Rica. Short walk to beach’s. Overall enjoyable stay.

Différent et agréable

De passage a Nosara, nous voulions un hebergement different et pres de l’ocean. Quoique difficile a trouver, nous avons bien aimé. Genial le petit sentier vers la plage !!! Nous sommes meme allé souper a Nosara via la plage. A refaire.

Un lugar muy agradable

El lugar es cómodo, limpio, bonito. El personal muy amable. Las tiendas son amplias aunque se puede dificultar un poco el ingreso en algunas ya que la propiedad es en desnivel. Precios adecuados al servicio.

Interesting concept but limited services

First of all, it is importan to be clear that this hotel is based on glamping concept, which is a interesting hotel model but with somo limitaions. The receptionist was really friendly and tried the best to guarantee a good experience. Regarding the facilities, those looks pretty good, either the suites as the glamping tents. However this hotel does not provide any food service, perhaps its acceptable for the concept but if provides a way to cook food or another alternative will improve the experince. Also some spirits drinks in the pool bar is an opportuniy to add value. On the other, there was not soap to wash hands in the bathroom, which one I think is indispensable. Finally, bear in mind there is no tv despite of you stay in a suite(those are not glamping tents).
