As one of the last guests to stay before Coronavirus forced its (I hope temporary) closure, I wish it every success when it reopens after things return to normal.

It’s a lovely place that I cannot recommend enough. The owners and staff are so friendly, the environment lovely. The courtesy morning walk revealed a huge range of animals, and the night walk was fantastic.

The owners are friendly and will do lots to help advise you on your adventure. The night walk was brilliant and despite it being unusually dry - there was lots to see. Well worth a stay if your coming to costa rica. 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

The hotel has it's own forest,very young but very rich. The staff make you feel like you are part of the family, plus the project has a strong connection with the local community. I am a vegetarian picky eater, usually I don't like hotels and never go back in the same place,but the food was so good and the place so amazing that I had to go back another time before leaving Costa Rica. Hard to find a negative thing to say, the parking lot is a little bit far but walking in the nature is always good. My favourite thing of this place are the guys at the reception, very kind and one is a really REALLY good nature guide. Have the breakfast and the offered tour in the morning and you won't forget it ! read less
