What a wonderful place! I am so happy I found this place as I was able to enjoy a couple of days here; the service was fantastic as well! If you love being sorely fed by nature, I recommend you stay here; at least for a night.

This is a nice place to unwind for one or 2 nights. Rustic lodge, pillows and sheets need update. I like the gondola, you can really hear the trucks from the hwy. eventhough they are inside the forest.

Very nice place right next to the hiking trails . The restaurant staff was really nice (especially Carlos). The room was ok but badly soundproof (we heard the neighbor cough). We did the gondolas (tram), it was really beautiful but it’s really not worth the price ($66 US per person). Breakfast was included but only okay.

You are out in the middle of a National Park. That is going to appeal to some and seem bad to others. There is one gift shop, one restaurant, etc., but I like getting to make friends with the staff and the scenery and unique beauty is what I came for.

Literally like camping in the jungle. Amazing experience. We saw so many animals within feet from our cottage. Rooms are very well ventilated with screens so AC is not needed but you need to be mindful that people can easily heard you talking in the neighboring cabins.

Basic room in forest. Only seating is on porch. Some windows are glass, others screens. Even being a mile off the main highway, truck engines were louder than most insects. And you can sometimes hear snoring from other rooms. Convenient location if you want to use the tram/zips or hike in the national park up the road. Dining for dinner was pretty good, though only tried vegi pasta and steak. Breakfast was 7:30-9:30 and had several menu options including eggs or pancakes. Birders seemed to find a lot of interesting birds. I only saw a few toucans.

This place is so beautiful! If you are looking for a place away from everything , this is it. Rooms are clean, property is well maintained clean staff is so friendly. Some of the things I didn’t care for , was there is no way to get coffee first thing in the morning. Not everyone waits till 730 to get coffee . The other issue I had with the property is that it’s a one way road to get in and out. In the early morning and late at night they had nobody there to let you out. Reception should be there 24/7

Lots off green around, but the room was old and nothing inside 1 bed and 2 night table, no A/C a old ceiling fan moving humidity around the room. Even saying it is a Park you could listen to track using their Jacob Brake the whole time day and night. Cracking floor and a toilet you pray before flushing never know the result. And the restaurant forget it they don’t even have a bottle of Vodka to serve you a drink.

La naturaleza en el lugar es increible. Las personas que trabajan en el hotel son muy amables, conocedoras de la zona y de los animales de la zona, muy interesadas por la experiencia que tengan sus clientes en el lugar, y una muchacha en el restaurante fue particularmente amable con un claro objetivo de satisfaccion de los visitantes. Volveria pero por mas dias.

Grossartig!
Per Zufall haben wir unsere 2. letzte Nach von unserer 4-wöchigen-Costa Rica-Rundreise hier verbracht - und noch sämtliche Tiere gesehen, die wir bis dahin verpasst haben (div. Schlangen, Vogelspinne, Tukane, etc.). Die Nachttour war sensationell! Unser Guide war sehr engagiert, wusste unheimlich viel und hat sich über jedes Tier gefreut. Wir konnten so div. Frösche (u.a Rotaugenlaubfrosch), mehrere Honigbären, etc. sehen. Am nächsten Tag holte er uns sogar extra vom Frühstück, weil er noch eine seltene Schlange fand :-) . Es gibt natürlich auch Faultiere und wenn man Glück hat, sieht man sogar Tapire. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und die Zimmer befinden sich inmitten des Dschungels. Wir wären sehr gerne noch eine oder zwei Nächte länger geblieben für eine weiter Tour und auch, um die Seilbahn über dem Dschungeldach auszuprobieren! Wir werden die Unterkunft bei Gelegenheit definitiv wieder buchen!
