The retreat is well laid out and the staff are friendly and very knowledgeable. Mechanic (one of the owners) certainly went the extra mile and helped us retrieve one of our bags which we left at an overnight stay in San Jose and managed to get it sent to the next resort on our little tour. William who greeted us at the front desk when we arrived turned out to also be an excellent tour guide and had a lot of information on the local rainforest, some of which is owned by the lodge. As an economic retreat they source all of their food locally and it really shows at breakfast lunch and dinner. As I'm writing this, one of the local farmers has shown up on his horse to deliver some eggs! The facilities are better than you might expect, considering the location and philosophy of the lodge. Not to be missed! read less

Owners are kind and helpful, guided visit around the place in the forest is super for a first contact with local nature. Meals are simply WONDERFUL.
You will find no luxury but everything you need for a comfortable and pleasant stay. read less

It was a great value. The facilities are beautifully nestled in the forest, extremely clean and everything you need. We loved the family friendly atmosphere in all of the common areas. Next time we will spend more time exploring the river and trails. read less

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.

Go stay there! read less
