Family run and friendly
A family run establishment. Daughter checked us in, father ran the restaurant, mother in charge of room cleaning etc. Welcoming atmosphere. Gave us recommendations of places to visit. Their restaurant is the best in the area.

Beautiful lodge, good service, remote setting
We stayed one night at this lodge enroute from the Liberia airport to Nicaragua. The lodge features beautiful wood paneling. Our second floor room felt like a bird's nest with wall-to-wall windows opening to the tree tops. The manager was quick to help us line up a taxi for our departure. Wifi worked well. We enjoyed a grilled fish dinner at the restaurant next door complete with a bottle of Chilean wine. The hotel breakfast was generous: eggs, fruit, rice etc. The town surrounding the hotel was very small and we couldn't see much to do. We were told there are beaches a few kilometers away, but we didn't get to them because of limited time. All in all, this hotel offers good value for the price.

Staff was very friendly and helpful.
Exceeded our expectations. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We stayed one night and had very little time. The owner drove us around (for free) to show us the area in the little time before we had to leave. Thank you.

Cómodo, limpio, seguro, buen servicio
El lugar es muy cómodo, una muy buena ubicación para conocer el área. La habitación muy limpia y con las cosas necesarias para descansar bien. La cama muy cómoda. Don Manuel y su hijo son muy atentos y serviciales. Nos gusta mucho que apoyen tanto los proyectos de protección de la zona y los alentamos a seguir adelante porque zonas como Cuajiniquil ya no quedan tantas en el país. Gracias por todo su esfuerzo por mantener sus clientes satisfechos y recibirnos con tanto aprecio. El restaurante tamb es muy rico, el pinto Guanacasteco más rico que he probado en mi vida! Un abrazo y esperamos verlos pronto!

Bueno ubicación, agradable pesonal
Limpieza de la habitación/del hotel. Hotel muy limpio y agradable Calidad del servicio. Es administrado por una familia, todos son muy amables y hacen muy agradable la estadía. Servicios del hotel. Wifi bueno. Desayuno excelente. Ubicación del hotel. Está a menos de 20km del Parque Nacional Santa Rosa, muy bien ubicado. Recomendable llegar en auto, tiene estacionamiento sin costo Extras. A un costado se encuentra un supermercado, y al otro costado un restaurante con buena comida, por lo que resulta un buen complemento al hotel.

Super Lodge mit sehr gutem Frühstück und strandnah
Sehr schöne Lodge, mit sehr gutem und sehr viel Frühstück (frisch gespresste Säfte aus Mango und Papaya, frisches Obst, Gallo Pinto, etc.). Die Mangos kamen direkt vom hauseigenen Mangobaum im Garten. Sehr sauber und nettes Personal sowie Inhaber. Das Restaurant direkt neben der Lodge ist ebenfalls zu empfehlen. Strände in der Nähe sind sehr unberührt, etwas weiter entfernt ist der Strand El Jobo sehr empfehlenswert, da Bäume direkt am Strand Schatten spenden (SUV ist hierfür nötig). Insgesamt sehr guter Aufenthalt.

Cinq couchers de soleil, cinq plages différentes!
Hôtel avec des boiseries magnifiques. Propriétaire super sympathique qui connaît très bien sa région et qui en partage les secrets. De cet hôtel, on découvre une dizaine de plages quasi désertes ayant chacune ses particularités. Un paradis pour les observateurs d'oiseaux.
