"Very nice high end stay. The property has a lot to offer and the rooms and their views are beautiful. Staff was very helpful, as you’d expect. Great time. "

"Quintessential Costa Rica. The staff are phenomenal! The property is rustic and feels like summer camp in the best way. Lots to do in the area with La Fortuna a quick drive away. "

"Beautiful grounds and room! Breakfast was wonderful. "

"The stay was good. Walking the property, I really wanted to give a few ideas for improvement. The yoga area was pretty but needed a good re-fresh. There's no way anyone would want to do yoga there, in the condition that it was in. Needs a good power washing and re-staining of the deck, and the pond was full of leaves - could use a good cleaning and maybe some koi. The view from the room was incredible. The dog on the property was friendly and fun, but did bark at night. The owner was onsite and having a very lively conversation with a woman (we think about marketing). Maybe they were trying to figure out ways to get more clients? Whatever they were discussing should've been done in private, not in the restaurant in front of customers. Was a little uncomfortable.

"Clean room, good breakfast and friendly staff "

"Beautiful property and very charming. This was about 15-20 mins away from the pickup zone for excursions just to keep in mind. We saw beautiful birds and geckos on the property. We would definitely stay here again!!"

"Magical place, giving the full jungle experience. "

"Clean room, nice view."

"We expected much more from this place, but of the five lodges we visited, this was the worst. Regarding the accommodation, we realized that the door could be opened with just a slight push, without even turning the handle, meaning anyone could enter the room even when the handle was locked. Furthermore, there was no water pressure for the shower, and the water had to be heated by a small heater built into the showerhead, but this gadget clearly didn't allow for temperature control; the water was either freezing cold or scalding hot. The room contained only two beds and a bedside table; there was no desk or table with a chair to set up a laptop and edit photos at the end of the day. As for activities, the only real draw of this place is birdwatching or photography, as there's nothing else to do in the area. We would have expected all the perches to be stocked with fruit and the hummingbird feeders to be full, but only one of the many perches had food, and the hummingbird feeders were all empty and were never refilled during our visit. They seemed more interested in selling us expensive paid tours: king vultures $75/person, macro with snakes and frogs $50/person, hummingbirds $65/person, small birds $30/person, bats $65/person. There are trails on the property, but they are not suitable for regular hiking boots and are extremely muddy; rubber boots are absolutely necessary. Considering the price of the overnight stays, we would have expected a little more from this place."
