Pros:

Die Unterkunft lag sehr naturnah und man hatte direkten Zugang zum Dschungel. Es gab viele Tiere zu sehen.

Cons:

Puh schwierig, die Mitarbeiter haben sich wirklich sehr bemüht und waren alle super freundlich.
Dennoch muss man sagen, dass die Anlage nicht sehr gepflegt wirkt und extrem in die Jahre gekommen ist. Sie ist sehr groß. Wir hatten ein Standartbungalow und sind einen Tag eher abgereist, da wir uns gefühlt haben wie in einem dunklen Loch. Absolut null wohlfühlcharakter.
Dafür war der Preis viel, viel zu hoch! Diverse Insekten befanden sich bei uns im Zimmer.

The highlight of our stay was the night walk with Jimmy. We saw a red eyed frog and poisonous dart frogs.
Pros:

Location approx 30 minute drive from La Fortuna

Cons:

Accommodation felt damp however we understand that cabins were surrounded by trees.

cool place
Pros:

The staff was very friendly. They helped us with everything we needed.
It was a very nice touch that they left their own homemade coffee in the room every day.

Cons:

It is about half an hour from the center of La Fortuna. If you don’t have your own car, transportation can be a bit difficult.

Pros:

The rooms were lovely, very clean and well laid out with plenty of space

Cons:

The hot springs were a massive letdown, only two were full and the water was not warm, came here for them, left extremely disappointed

Very good place to stay when visiting La Fortuna area
Pros:

The property was very comfortable, rooms were good and staff were very friendly and helpful. Good restaurant on site with an excellent range of meals. Parking onsite which was good. We enjoyed being away from the frenetic pace of La Fortuna and coming back to a very peaceful environment after our day.

Cons:

Not so much did not like as things that could be better. The thermal pools are not really warm (better going to one of the La Fortuna ones) but there is a nice pool area. Staff were very helpful with directions but would have been good to have had a map of the whole place, inc the walking tour path. Otherwise very happy with the stay.
