10/10 Exceptional

If I could, I would have stayed longer in this establishment. The pictures and description does not do justice to this amazing place. The rooms are old but in reasonable state, and they are clean. The breakfast is good and with a perfect view over the garden. The garden is the best thing about the place. The property is actually like an island with a small old metal bridge and it is full of mutiple species of Heliconia and also a nice untouched forest for small walk and discovery. We saw both spider and howler monkeys, sloths (with their children) and numerous types of birds. The property has direct access to the river so you can bath there. It is simplely amazing!

Beautiful property with a lot of Heliconias and birds. Property is well kept. The room had AC which was good to counter the somewhat humid conditions when we were there. Food options are limited but that didn’t bother us too much as we were outside most of the time.

This is the most beautiful surroundings I’ve ever spent a night in. Birds, flowers, may be monkeys. Pierre is a wonderful host.

4/10 Fair

Owners not there and we were only people staying for 2 nights. We found the staff to be pleasant but somewhat disinterested almost as if we were in the way somehow. The room and veranda seating area was not clean and I had to find a brush to clean areas down. The place in general needs TLC and our room had several lights not working etc. I don’t mind a room not being cleaned during a stay but at these prices expected at least a clean room to start with and a daily clean especially for the used toilet paper bins given the high heat and no air con. No evening meal facilities so a drive of 10 mins minimum. Have travelled in South America and Far East and stayed in backpacking places so not a fusspot but don’t think I’ve been more disappointed with a place. On plus side were the gardens, great rafting on Sarapiqui with Green Rivers company and an extremely well presented Best Chocolate Tour

The hotel was well situated in a little oasis. The service was great even though the rooms may be basic in luxury. Windows were screened and there was a fan but no AC. Fabulous gardens and breakfast view of monkeys, lizards, iguanas and toucans are what set it apart. I had a great sleep and was quite comfortable.

Beautiful setting. Delicious breakfast. When we reported that the air conditioner didn’t work host said that it wasn’t broken but that there is an extra charge to use. So far they are the only place that charges extra in CR. Would have been nice to know ahead of time!

Beautiful gardens, nice rooms
Beautiful gardens, very nice rooms. I didn’t see any animals, but that may here been due to inclement weather. Did a night walk too and didn’t see anything notable. Flowers, however, were excellent. Many Heliconia species.

Great place for wildlife
Staff wonderful, if it’s wildlife you want to see this is deftly the place to stay as it’s right on your doorstep. Food great and a very friendly and accommodating lovely family who made our stay a very special memory. Thankyou very much. Just a shame about the weather but hey tour in the rain forest :)

So much potential
From the outside, this place looks amazing. But on the inside, not so much. There was a massive dead cockroach in the bathroom, the fan wasn't very helpful in the hot and humid weather. This part of the country is full of mosquitos and bugs, so even a crack in the window (which there was) meant you were being eaten up by bugs all night. Lastly, the sheets were stained by sweat or something else. We were so tired from our long drive that we decided to stay, but chose to leave at sunrise! Friendly staff though.

Very pleasant visit
I stayed here one night. There is the MOST beautiful garden and for a patient photographer with a good camera, a great place to taking photos. The rooms are very nice, built up high so you can sit and look out over the garden, flowers and birds. And the air conditioning was most welcome as the humidity was exceptionally high that week. Over breakfast, I saw 19 birds ( two new life birds ) in the 1 1/2 hours I sat there. They put out fruit to attract them so you are bound to see some interesting species.

For $22 US dollars per person you can do a night time walk of the grounds. Thaught the price a bit expensive.

Nous avons passé l’une des meilleures nuit de notre vie pour le cadre idyllique en pleine jungle ! Cette propriété est absolument merveilleuse, son gérant est très sympathique. Bonus pour la baignade dans la rivière. Lieu qui protége son environnement pour la faune et la flore. Et le repas du soir ainsi que le petit déjeuner étaient excellents.
