Beautiful place but no a/c and it gets hot. No screens so we did get mosquitoes and gnats in the room because we had to keep the windows open. The staff and the food were great!

True eco resort with the best staff

Lovey eco lodge really working with the environment. Fabulous staff, couldn’t do enough for you. Lovely breakfasts, healthy locally sourced dinner buffet and tea and coffee all day long. Tours on offer were great too- we did the bird walk and saw so much that we would have missed! Rafting with Rios fabulous. Yes the rooms are a little basic but all in keeping with the ethos of the place. You will not be disappointed!

Staff is fabulous, super friendly and helpful. Liked the breakfast and home cooked dinner. The covered walk ways and ubiquity if provided umbrellas are great when it's pouring buckets. Nice touch to provide rubber boots for forest walking. The walls between some rooms are super thin which can be annoying with noisy neighbors.

We loved this place, despite the rain, and the fact that it had no air conditioning. It would have been nice, but there was a ceiling fan, and an oscillating stand up fan. The only downside, was the parking was about a 8 minute walk, out of the room down a path, across a bridge and up a small hill.

Serene place

It was amazing. It was serene. Really a place to be still and quiet as there’s no tv. A place to talk and relax more. The receptionist and everyone you came across was very nice. Offered recommendation for eateries. highly recommend if you’re looking to unwind and connect with nature.

Bon hôtel dans la regions de Sarapiquí

Hotel en plein milieu de la nature, d'ailleurs on se gare à l'extérieur (mais parking sécurisé) et on y arrive à pieds avec une brouette pour porter les bagages. Diner sous forme de buffet (pas énorme mais suffisant). Petit dej correct.
