Due to some building work, we got upgraded to the fantastic family suite, which had a special little room where we could observe jungle life. Meghan and her team (especially Roger) were super friendly, and always available for any question or booking. We went on 2 of the many tours they offer - many of which are partnerships with local people - trying to give employment to the local community - the river tour and the organic farm tour. I would highly recommend the organic farm tour. My 4 yr old was kept entertained by playing with Daniel's grandson and holding all the little piglets. Amazing free breakfast and dinner was great too (though a little pricey) . Would highly recommend this place as the owners are so committed to the local community and they are exemplary when it comes to community based tourism. read less

the location was fantastic, rooms basic but what you expect in an Eco lodge.
Very close to nature and loved the walks into the rain forest so easy to access.
we saw, 3 & 2 toed sloth, white faced capuchin monkeys, silky anteater sleeping, blue jean frogs,green black dart frogs, lots birds, insects, army ants, leaf cutter ants, Basilisk lizards. variegated squirrels , also lots of fire flies at night, and morning and evening the call of howler monkeys was great to hear.
any tour expects you to wear closed toe shoes, this is the same all over Costa Rica, so make sure you have walking shoes or trainer at least.
We enjoyed swimming in the Sarapiqui river next to the bridge.
make sure you use infect relent in the day as well as night
Staff we very pleasant and Wilhelm guided walk in the forest was fantastic.
make time to visit the Nature Pavilion to see a fantastic variety of birds, the chocolate tour did not impress us very much.
USA dollars are excepted everywhere, even in local supermarkets.
when travelling home via San Jose airport beware, everything is very expensive, do not wait to buy coffee most good at least twice the price, and cost us £12 for a burger. More read less

It has great food and early nights. Set in the jungle, you sleep to the sound of the river it fronts on, woken by howler monkeys. Gumboots to borrow for the jungle squelch (its a rainforest). All very charming. And - a bonus - there is an adventure centre 10 mins walk away, on the other side of the river: white water rafting, varying seasonally (but great for beginners), zip-lining etc. read less
