Would go again way worth the money
Pros:

Upon arrival we were greeted politely and toured around even though early we could check in. The pool was lovely. The room was cool spacious and comfy with a kitchen. The breakfast was great. Tons of wildlife. Walking in town was easy! Such a nice town to be in

Cons:

Smell of bad fruit used to attract fauna.

Magnifique hôtel, nous en garderons de très beaux souvenirs
Pros:

L’observatoire à oiseaux exceptionnel, le lieu très agréable, très bien situé, rien à dire, petit déjeuner très agréable, fruits à disposition, jolie piscine.

Cons:

Notre chambre avait 4 lits, ce qui était un peu beaucoup pour juste un couple mais bon à part ça, rien à dire.

Muy satisfactoria
Pros:

Las instalaciones comunes: piscina, observatorio de aves, servicio de lavandería por 5$ dolar/kg. Te hacen precio contratando con ellos algunos de los tours de la zona.
Habitación con aire acondicionado, dos camas grandes muy cómodas, nevera y cafetera con un tarrito de café.
Disponía de deshumidificador (súper importante en la zona, la ropa no seca).

Cons:

Todo muy bien, mejor de lo esperado.

Incredible location for viewing bird life!
Pros:

This place is right on the edge of the jungle, and the staff put out bananas/plantain so the bird life is incredible. We saw toucan, motmots, hummingbirds and lots more, without even leaving the hotel. When it isn't under cloud, there is also a stunning view of the volcano from the breakfast deck. The included breakfast was very good as well.

Cons:

The room smelt very damp -not overly surprising considering it's tropical rain forest, but it was very noticeable every time we entered the room.

Parfait !!
Pros:

Absolument tout, surtout les tours proposés, l’aide de l’accueil et du staff, la chambre bien équipée…
Le bird watching spot près de la piscine est parfait pour l’observation des oiseaux et même quelques mammifères. Je recommande chaudement le sloth tour avec Armando et il y a un night tour inclus (incroyable). On l’a fait 2 jours de suite car Armando nous a appelé pour voir des animaux, c’était fantastique !!

Cons:

Rien du tout ! Tout était absolument parfait

Muy top.
Pros:

El observatorio de aves.

Cons:

El baño de nuestra habitación era horrible, no tenía luz. Nos hicieron un upgrade de la habitación y era una enorme para solo dos, y el baño no tenía luz sin entender todo. Aún así dormimos increíblemente bien.
