The view from absolutely everywhere is stunning. We had the chance to see a plethora of birds and monkeys from our little pool in our balcony. The drive there is a little challenging but the location makes it all worth it. Taking a shower indoor/outdoor is one of a lifetime experience.

Fabulous!!!! The room overlooked a beautiful lagoon that opened up to the ocean! Mornings were greeted with stunning Scarlet Macaws, Parrots, Toucans and so many other species of birds!! The sounds were divine. Then you have the different types of Monkeys!!! All the wildlife you can imagine. Anteaters Coatimundi ( related to raccoon family) little mini capybaras. It goes on... Then your greeted with breakfast and the wonderful staff. Ellie, Tim and Augustine were so wonderful and took care of any needs you nay have. Then there is Santos! Such a wonderful treat. He managed to created gluten free desserts along with the most delicious meals for two weeks. Cooked fresh fish my husband caught too. All in all we give this little gem a 10! Thanks to you all!

Beautiful One of A Kind Experience
What an amazing experience! Greg, the owner, and his staff do an excellent job of welcoming you and making you feel comfortable. The lodge is an isolated region in Costa Rica where you find birds, animals and an ecosystem that exists no where else in the world. If you are looking for a 5-star hotel with all the bells and whistles which can be found in 100’s of places throughout the world this isn’t the place for you. If you are looking for a “special” one of a kind place that’s not replicated where you can experience nature at its best, this is the place to be. When we were there, there were photographers from around the world to get that one of a kind picture that you can only get here. It’s amazing to me that Greg built this beautiful and comfortable resort in truly one of the most remote spots in the world. It runs exclusively on solar power and mountain rain, yet provides those important comforts such as happy hour and good food. One side note, when driving, you come to the end of the world and still need to drive another 40 kilometers to get to Greg’s place. It’s that remote. Greg, thanks to you and your team for giving Jeannie and I an experience of a lifetime. We’ve been to 23 countries over the last two years and this is the one that is most special to us. Thanks for making that happen!
