Lodge molt encantador
Pros:

Lodge situat a un entorn molt segur i silenciós, al mig de la naturalesa. Molt ben cuidat i pensat.

PERFETTO
Pros:

La location è molto bella, immersa nel verde, è possibile vedere molti animali. La posizione è strategica, a 10 minuti da Puerto Viejo e a 3 minuti da Playa Negra. Camera stupenda, spaziosa, con anche una doccia esterna. Ci tornerò sicuramente, è stato veramente bello.

Maravillosa y relajante
Pros:

El personal fue muy amable, el alojamiento al ser pequeño se siente muy privado. Es tal cual las fotos, se encontraba muy limpio, sin duda me volvería a quedar. Gracias por todo!

Cons:

El tema del parqueo se encuentra a la par del alojamiento, cuenta con camaras de seguridad pero el porton es solo de "jalar" no queda cerrado por lo que nos dio un poco de miedo que pasara algo pero no fue nuestro caso. Los ultimos 500 m antes de llegar es camino de piedra pero entra cualquier vehiculo sin problema. Me volveria a quedar sin pensarlo :)

Pros:

Such a nice place in Puerto Viejo. The room was beautiful, the garden with the swimming pool were amazing. We saw many animals from the garden. We rented bikes to discover the region of Puerto Viejo. It is also easy to get an Uber. The staff is also helpful and really kind.

Cons:

Nothing

Nous avons passé un sejour très agréable, dans un endroit qui mêle nature et modernité. Un cocon de beauté à quelques pa
Pros:

Chambre très confortable et joliment décoré. L’ensemble de la propriété est très agréable et l’hôte très sympathique. La piscine et la douche extérieur sont des vrais plus.

Cons:

Il manquerait peut-être un option de petit déjeuner pour éviter de devoir aller en ville le matin.

The perfect start to our trip and it set expectations levels high for the rest
Pros:

It was equipped with all we needed, aside from, maybe some salt and pepper would be great as it’s not something you want to buy for a short stay. Otherwise it was heavenly. Spacious, clean, had all the amenities, comfy beds, well air conditioned and felt like you were in a small piece of paradise.

Cons:

Nothing at all

Pros:

Um autêntico refúgio perto da Playa Negra.
Apenas 4 alojamentos, muito tranquilo.
Tem chuveiro exterior no quarto e tudo!

Cons:

Fica um pouco longe do centro de Puerto Viejo, mas compensa alugar uma mota ou uma bicicleta e ficar neste paraíso!

Beautifully designed accommodation surrounded by nature
Pros:

I really liked this property and the whole lodge concept. Certainly one of the best designed stays in the area and while small, much of the time I felt as though I was the only one there. The staff are friendly and happy to answer any questions. Highly recommended!

Cons:

The hotel was very secure. Maybe too secure at times! Entering passcodes on the locks to both the main door and the room proved tricky as the keys don't beep as they are being pressed. As a result, I managed to lock myself out more than once. I also found this was an issue for other guests. It's a minor problem, but one that needs to be addressed.
As others have noted, the property is a quite far from town, but I had no trouble using rider share apps to get to and from town.
