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.

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.
