We had a little cabin with a kitchen and wood stove and it was lovely. Wished we booked it for a week and bought groceries to just live there. Saw a MotMot right outside our window. Perfect for honeymoon or second honeymoon.

The food was good and at affordable prices. The location is nice, with nice valley views. The room was pretty run down, and the linens even had a big hole. Based on the options in the area, which are limited, I think it is an average option.

the lodge we stayed at looked like something from a fantasy book. Excellent customer service, wonderful pricing, the restaurant was exceptional. There was an enchanting river with rapids that ran alongside our lodge. I felt like was in a dream! Will see you finally back for a longer stay! I have zero complaints.

This grounds of this property are beuatiful. It is as amazing as the surrounding area and the drive up to the property. It is peaceful and relaxing with views of the Talamanca mountains. The room was clean and comfortable. I would suggest some upgrades in the rooms to match the beautiful of the grounds outside. Even without the upgrades, I would certainly return, as the service, staff and experience was pleasant and unique. I loved walking in the gardens.

Poor experience

We reserved the Luxury Studio on September. They told us someone else reserved this property. Not much fun getting a different place and splitting our group into two locations. The hotel rooms were ok to poor. The walls are paper thin. Could hear other guest music and kids playing video games. The wireless Internet bandwidth was bad to zero.

Das Zimmer bzw. die Hütte ist wahrscheinlich die letzte, die noch dringend renoviert werden müsste, es sei denn, man möchte es wirklich ganz schlicht haben!! Ein Kühlschrank war dabei. Für eine Nacht haben wir das ausgehalten! Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und nicht aufdringlich. Alles in allem; eine schöne Atmosphäre! Vielen Dank, beste Grüße!
