Unique atmosphere, excellent quality food!

2/10 Poor

We didn't stay. The place was deserted accept for some sound (maybe a tv) coming from the furthest structure, leaving us with an eirie/ weird feeling of being alone in a strange place.

Nice property! A lot of birds at the breakfast time! Hospitable owner!

This is the most beautiful surroundings I’ve ever spent a night in. Birds, flowers, may be monkeys. Pierre is a wonderful host.

What a gem. Who needs a rainforest tour. Just stay here and sleep right with the animals of Costa Rica.
Ravonna, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beautiful property with a lot of Heliconias and birds. Property is well kept. The room had AC which was good to counter the somewhat humid conditions when we were there. Food options are limited but that didn’t bother us too much as we were outside most of the time.
Murali, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

If I could, I would have stayed longer in this establishment. The pictures and description does not do justice to this amazing place. The rooms are old but in reasonable state, and they are clean. The breakfast is good and with a perfect view over the garden. The garden is the best thing about the place. The property is actually like an island with a small old metal bridge and it is full of mutiple species of Heliconia and also a nice untouched forest for small walk and discovery. We saw both spider and howler monkeys, sloths (with their children) and numerous types of birds. The property has direct access to the river so you can bath there. It is simplely amazing!

Endroit enchanteur pour les ornithologues
Gentillesse du proprio. Air climatisé. Eau chaude. Tranquillité. Beaucoup beaucoup d’oiseaux pour nous les amoureux de la faune ailée. Avons vu plus de 50 espèces d’oiseaux. Avons vu de petites chauves souris. Avons vu deux paresseux. Beaux jardins de fleurs et de plantes.Très bon déjeuner Costa ricien. Je vous le recommande.

Leuk verblijf in het groen. Veel planten en dieren kunnen hier spotten. Het ontbijt is prima. Sommige dingen zijn een beetje verouderd maar het is prima!

Pierre war sehr nett und das Frühstück super. Nur der Wasserhahn im Zimmer hat schon gewackelt.

Nous avons passé l’une des meilleures nuit de notre vie pour le cadre idyllique en pleine jungle ! Cette propriété est absolument merveilleuse, son gérant est très sympathique. Bonus pour la baignade dans la rivière. Lieu qui protége son environnement pour la faune et la flore. Et le repas du soir ainsi que le petit déjeuner étaient excellents.

Die Unterkunft lag in einem wünderschönen Garten und beim Frühstück konnte man die Vögel beobachten, weil diese mit Obst gefüttert wurden.

Enfach augestattete Unterkunft mit schwieriger Anfahrt!

4/10 Fair

Owners not there and we were only people staying for 2 nights. We found the staff to be pleasant but somewhat disinterested almost as if we were in the way somehow. The room and veranda seating area was not clean and I had to find a brush to clean areas down. The place in general needs TLC and our room had several lights not working etc. I don’t mind a room not being cleaned during a stay but at these prices expected at least a clean room to start with and a daily clean especially for the used toilet paper bins given the high heat and no air con. No evening meal facilities so a drive of 10 mins minimum. Have travelled in South America and Far East and stayed in backpacking places so not a fusspot but don’t think I’ve been more disappointed with a place. On plus side were the gardens, great rafting on Sarapiqui with Green Rivers company and an extremely well presented Best Chocolate Tour

The hotel was well situated in a little oasis. The service was great even though the rooms may be basic in luxury. Windows were screened and there was a fan but no AC. Fabulous gardens and breakfast view of monkeys, lizards, iguanas and toucans are what set it apart. I had a great sleep and was quite comfortable.

Die Hütten liegen in einem herrlichen Garten, in dem man sehr gut Tiere wie Kolibris, Singvögel, Echsen und Faultier beobachten kann. Beim Frühstück hat man einen tollen Blick auf die Futterstelle für Vögel, die gut besucht ist. Sehr netter Empfang, wir fühlten uns sehr wohl. Und die lauten Brüllaffen übertönten teilweise sogar die LKWs der Nähe gelegenen Straße.

Ein sehr schön angelegter Garten, gutes Frühstück, einfache, etwas in die Jahre gekommene Zimmer, aber sauber. Mit 79 $ ohne Frühstück aber zu teuer.
