It was an amazing place.
Pros:

The room and lodge grounds were amazing. The rooms were rustic and comfortable while the staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very enjoyable and there was lots to see and do in the vicinity of the lodge.

Cons:

The room could have used another lamp.

Not as expected and not user friendly.
Pros:

The sound of nature and the howlers

Cons:

When I last stayed at the lodge the breakfast was served in the reception area in the lodge. At no time was I made aware that the breakfast has now been moved to uphill to another hotel. My partner is waiting for hip surgery and having to climb the hill to get food was a disaster. He had to take more pain killers while we stayed there. At no time was it ever offered a ride up or down, this is ridiculous and very disappointing as this is not what I thought we were getting. Whoever runs this place should think more about forcing seniors and disabled people to climb this hill when they are physically not able to do so. Also the bathroom faucet was hanging loose.
Maybe close the entire place if you can’t run it properly.

Great location, breakfast, and would stay again!
Pros:

Location was excellent to walk downtown (3 mins) but not loud at all. The restaurant was excellent- breakfast was great and happy hour during sunset even better!!

Cons:

The walk up to the room was a little challenging so if mobility issues request a closer room to reception. The room was a little small and would have liked a small fridge. The walls are VERY thin but we are finding that in Costa Rica everywhere.

Pros:

The staff were very friendly and super helpful. The location was also great, right in the middle of downtown.

Cons:

The room was very cold and dark, didn't have any type of air conditioning for either cold or warm. The pictures showed a very bright room, but it was not, it was dark.

Great experience
Pros:

The staff was amazing, the views were awesome and the breakfast buffet was delicious!
The staff from the hotel and the restaurant (the Ficus hotel) was the best.

Cons:

The only thing is that the rooms/cabins are right next to each other (in pairs) and you can hear everything in the next room which wasn't great.

Fantastische accommodatie op een fantastische plek.
Pros:

Super mooie plek dichtbij de regenwouden, maar toch op loopafstand van het gezellige dorp met leuke restaurantjes. Wakker worden van de brulapen, dat is toch fantastisch!
Leuk, behulpzaam personeel.
