Bare bones, but okay
The set up of the facility is cool, the rooms are detached bungalows with an outdoor kitchenette. The grounds are beautiful. The 2 pools are very small. The staff was nice, but did not speak any English, just Spanish (FYI). We did not eat at the restaurant, instead choosing to go to Puerto Viejo, just because we liked the town. The room was tidy, but had problems with the shower head and handle on the toilet. The AC worked good. We were the only guests on the property (mid July 2018). The staff was sometimes hard to find. There is not a lot of service or amenities, but the staff was nice and the grounds are beautiful. This is a place to sleep, not luxuriate.

Intermittent Internet and barking dogs
Excellent and friendly staff. The grounds were pleasant, but the room looked a little tired and could use an update. The pillows contained chunks of foam which were somewhat uncomfortable. The WIFI connection was frequently weak and the internet unavailable. Being woken up in the middle of the night by the resident dogs' barking was very annoying.

Nice hotel,in relaxing atmosphere
This hotel is located about 5 miles out of Cahuita on a main paved road which makes it convient if you have a car. It is on the bus line that goes to Cahuita or Puerto Viejo, cabs are also an option. It is located next to the Natioonal Park and we had almost daily sightings of monkeys. The hotel is clean and a well run family enterprise. They care about their guests and it shows. We had a 2 person couch in our room which was comfortable and appreciated.

Great hotel with wonderful hosts
The hotel is a great family run hotel. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The hostess will cook breakfast and dinner for you. They also provide rides into Cahuita. The hotel is located on the main road between Cahuita and Pto Viejo

Quiet, clean and comfortable
The hotel is between Cahuita and Puerto Viejo. The local bus stops at the entrance (less than $1 fare). A good place for R&R for the price!

Monkeys everywhere
If this hotel, otherwise very good, improved its interior lighting and minimal hot water situation, it would rate solid 5's. We were happy to meet the family doggies and see the live "20 monkeys in the tree above the cabin" show that we took in twice in our 3 days. A nice touch. Not sure how the owner arranged that, but she did ! The location is excellent for visiting Cahuita a bit to the north, Bribri inland along the Panama border, or Puerto Viejo on the coast to the south.

Comfortable Stay
The hotel was in a nice location with nice grounds. The room was very basic. WiFi would not work in the rooms...had to go outside to connect. The beds had no blanket at all...just 1 sheet. Lots of noise due to birds and monkeys, but hey, it's expected in Costa Rica!

Very nice cabins in a beautiful garden
We got a very warm welcome from the hosts and they made sure we had all what we needed! The owner Franco gave us a tour around the property and got us to point out some animals - a lazy animal, monkeys and beside all kind of birds we have seen tucans.

Poca Profesionalidad
Segunda vez que me hospedaba en ese hotel, la primera vez , hace 2 años fue perfecto ,debió de cambiar de gerencia porque la segunda fue un desastre: Problemas con la reserva, no pude hospedarme la primera noche, después de "negociar" para la siguiente noche, al llegar y pagar tardaron 3 horas en dar la vuelta de lo pagado en dolares, excusa: la falta de cambio, me devolvieron en colones dando un cambio muy inferior al cambio del día, tuve que protestar para que me lo "mejoraran algo" siendo aún así más bajo que el cambió del día, pero bueno... Música en el "restaurante " hasta la noche siendo molesto en la habitación y vecinos madrugadores que ponen música a la 6.am sin que los dueños del hotel les dijeran nada. Experiencia poco agradable en comparación con la vez anterior, hotel,situación y limpieza correcta, pero gestión del hospedaje nefasta la que me tocó.

Personal no calificado para atender un hotel
El personal de hotel no es muy amable en principal la señora que dicho sea de paso viven en la misma propiedad, tienen muchos perros 5 para ser exactos no están aseados!! El ares de la parrilla no se puede utilizar de noche xq las luces no son aptas para el lugar atraen bichos inceptos y demás!! No tiene área para lavarse las manos!!! En la habitación el aire acondicionado no es de óptima calidad y no permiten su uso durante varias horas por qué dicen que se daña hay que esperar más de 1 hora y media para que enfríe!! En cuanto a ubicación está a unos 15 minutos de excelentes playas y comercios en puerto viejo!!!

Bonito Hotel y excelente descanso.
Muy buena estadía, nos quedamos 4 noches y la verdad las disfrutamos bastante. Habitación en buenas condiciones con cocineta y utensilios. Limpia y bien aislada para evitar el ruido. El lugar es tranquilo, justamente lo que buscaba lejos del ruido y la multitud de los pueblos. La piscina es pequeña per se disfruta. Lo único que quizás mejoraría son las camas y las cortinas, una tiene un colchón muy suave y la otra tiene un colchón un tanto duro. Para mi gusto debería ser uno ortopédico y uno semi, pero gustos son gustos. Las cortinas, quizás deberían de cambiarlas y poner blackout. Tienen un sendero muy bonito, se aprecian aves y algunos animales. Recomendable visitar Manzanillo, Puerto Viejo y Cahuita. La comida local es muy buena, en Cahuita por la escuela hay una panadería Italiana donde venden excelente pan. Tambien hay una soda que es bastante buena y es ecónomica.

Excellent rapport qualité prix a prox de Cahuita
Super accueil de notre hôte qui parle très bien français. Un très bon rapport qualité prix dans le chef Costa Rica. Vraiment une superbe étape. Nous y sommes retournés au retour du Panama.

Buena estadía, debe mejorar para mayor atractivo
El hospedaje estuvo muy bien, la habitación es amplia y cómoda sin embargo el mini refrigerador de la habitación tenía la puerta oxidada y da mala impresión. Las dos piscinas no tienen un adecuado acceso para personas mayores e incluso, es difícil y peligroso para jóvenes también. La hotel está en una zona tranquila y con un buen espacio para relajarse escuchando monos y pájaros.

tranquille, apaisant avec des hamacs. Nous avons vu de nombreux animaux dans le jardin et la jungle autour des cabanas dont des singes, des toucans, des iguanes, des lezards et de nombreux autres oiseaux.
