Pros:

Le bus qui va au village s'arrête à 100m de l'hôtel, c'était parfait. L'établissement est magnifiquement intégré dans la végétation avec le jardin tropical, les mares.... c'est magnifique. Le restaurant est très bon, le personnel adorable et aidant. Mon bungalow incroyable, je n'avais jamais vu un logement de cette qualité dans mon périple de 4 mois en Amérique centrale. Tout est fonctionnel, de qualité, une belle décoration, je m'y suis senti très très bien, petite terrasse sur la nature et tranquille car un peu éloigné des autres structures. Bon le revers c'est le prix qui pique un peu mais parfois il faut savoir casser sa tirelire.

Cons:

Rien, tout a été dit...

Familia aventurera
Pros:

La ubicación muy conveniente, ibamos a la carrera del Valle de Chirripo. El sendero por los jardines es maravilloso, de dificultad baja para toda la familia. Muy cómoda la cabaña, las camas, todo muy limpio. La comida muy rica y sobre todo la atención y servicio.

Cons:

Debido a que esta en el campo hay presencia de algunos insectos sobre las camas. Cabe resaltar que estaba muy limpio pero es un aspecto a considerar. La cabaña suite es muy cómoda y grande. Podrian considerar tener un microondas para calentar comida ya que no se puede cocinar.

Es war ein schöner Aufenthalt in einer wunderschönen Umgebung.
Pros:

Das Frühstück und das Essen waren sehr gut. Die Unterkünfte liegen in einem tropischen Gartenparadies (daher auch der Name). Die Zimmer waren schön groß. Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich.
