Comfy room & lots of birding opportunities
Beautiful property with private access to preserved primary & secondary forests. They arrange for guides for bird/nature walks both in the morning & night. They have a feeder area by their restaurant where it is a treat to watch many birds during breakfast. Room was very comfortable and bigger than expected. Had a hammock outside each room.

This is a cannot miss for eco travelers and for families. Excellent comfort, food, wildlife! I have stayed here 8 times, this is the first time for my family and it was their favorite location of three in Costa Rica. Excellent!!

The property was conveniently located off a major highway. It was nice to have covered walkways between the rooms and dining area to protect from the rain showers. There was a lot of greenery which provided a safe haven for frogs and other creatures. The hotel offered a lot of tours, although some of them you had to take a taxi to get to which cost extra. They also have tours onsite on their nature preserve. It is an excellent location for birders and nature lovers. The buffet breakfast was excellent. The property is very near to the Sarapiqui River. WiFi coverage was available throughout the property. There was a gift shop onsite. Highly recommend for birdwatchers and nature lovers. We enjoyed the night hike and the morning hike with the expert guide at the lodge. It has an attached authentic Italian restaurant which was unusual for that area of Costa RIca.

It was a beautiful property with very nice staff but it wasn't as expected. It is on a main busy road. We thought we were going to be in the middle of the rainforest. The rooms were very nice and the food was good. Loved watching the birds from the balcony but was hoping for a quieter setting l.

We like the room very much and the pool was lovely. The front desk staff was very helpful in arranging great activities. We did not enjoy the sounds and smells from the construction. We also would have like more self-guided walks.

Loved the covered walkways. We were literally walking in the rainforest! Breakfast was delicious with fresh fruit, eggs, bean and rice. Staff was very helpful and friendly. The room was large and clean. Very eco friendly. Ours was by the river and the sound was wonderful. My only complaint is that they claim to have a hot tub. It's there, but no heat and no jets. Should be called a small pool instead.

The rooms are a little dated but spacious and comfortable. My partner did a walk with Randy and really enjoyed it . All the staff are so helpful we definitely return thanks so much .
