Such a great accommodation! We booked the superior cabin. Very peaceful cabin with a large verandah that looks on into the jungle. Room is is huge and has a fridge and sink. The king bed is comfortable, super clean. Enough room to do my yoga! Great parking. Would highly recommend for a genuine Costa Rican stay.

Beautiful grounds, walking paths and lots of privacy between each villa. The staff was helpful and kind. Walking along the river in the mornings was a splendid treat and very relaxing. We walked to town, dining and waterfalls for swimming. The food and drinks on site were very good and reasonably priced. Cannot wait to go back!!!

We booked the family room nd loved having the large covered patio with hot tub. It was so much fun sitting in the hot tub and listening to the rain pounding on the roof. The only drawback is that this room is just feet from the road. Although there were plants blocking the view it was pretty noisy during the day. But a family would love this room, small kitchen, 3 separate beds, and good price. But no pool on the property if that is important to you.

We had a wonderful cabin with a lot of space. Our cabin also came with a private hot tub outside in the back. Check in was easy, staff was excellent. My wife had a medical emergency while we were there and the front desk staff were super helpful. We enjoyed the peaceful, well landscape tropical environment. There is also a river at the back of the property. Lots of bird passing through. Want to thank them for a great trip.

Loved this place. Room could have been cleaner but overall the property is well kept, has beautiful scenery, and peaceful. Located next to good restaurants and walking around feels safe at night. Staff is great especially Alonzo. Be mindful that since you are immersed in nature there will be a decent number of bugs coming to visit you outside and inside.

Cabins are good some with patio with chairs and hamac. The room smelled musty but AC unit helped with humidity. The bathroom is limited with bare minimum. The staff was great, the restaurant is nice with view on the jungle. Nice breakfast

We only got to stay one night unfortunately. This place was beautiful. They gave us a complimentary drink upon arrival. It’s a cabin which was so cute! There’s a little bar and restaurant there. We also got a complimentary drink at the bar as well. I honestly don’t have anything bad to say about this place.
