Un paraiso natural , ideal para despistarse de la ciudad
Pros:

Es un lugar muy bonito, ubicado en medio de la naturaleza, el avistamiento de aves y colibríes es impresionante, el río es bajito y seguro para nadar, te despiertas por las mañanas con el canto de todas las aves y el sonido de los monos, hay plantas y flores bellísimas y la gente es muy amable , con una atención muy personal y atenta. Ideal para ir con la familia o en pareja, incluso con amistades. Muy recomendable.

Cons:

Las almohadas porque están muy rígidas, y hace falta un lugar para acomodar la ropa o por lo menos un perchero.

Pros:

After two weeks of travel through CR we arrived here for a stop over, but it immediately felt homely with the kind hosts. If we had time we would have stayed longer. Will definitely get back here again when in CR.
The garden is beautiful with an abundance of birds.
Next to that the breakfast and dinner are also made with an abundance of love. So much better than any of the soda's i have been to and this is my 2th time in CR.
It's a pity that our Spanish is lacking, just because of these host we want to improve it.

Pros:

Visite du tour de maison/jardin

Cons:

Surtaxation/arrondi du montant vers le haut à la fin du séjour. On n'a failli ne pas recevoir le retour car pas de monnaie, mais finalement oui.

Good
Pros:

It has a nice garden area at a river to swim in, hammocks to relax and the hosts are very nice and always attentive. Doña Mauren's food is delicious, she prepared us a nice breakfast and dinner in her outdoor kitchen.

Cons:

It is not as quiet as other lodges where we stayed elsewhere in Costa Rica as the main road's traffic can be heard and the humming of the AC on top of the roof during the night. Our room was simple and had no windows, other neighboring rooms do.
