Bien, pero pidan almohada suave desde su ingreso
Pros:

La cercanía al Parque Nacional Cahuita.
El desayuno incluido es rico.
La habitación tiene mini refrigeradora, aire acondicionado y plancha.

Cons:

El colchón es ortopédico, duro para mi gusto.
Las almohadas son piedras, me compré una en el super porque la primera noche no pude dormir, al parecer tienen otras almohadas suaves guardadas, solo las dan si uno las pide, absurdo.

Pros:

Die Anlage war sehr schön und gepflegt, Pool war sauber. Wir hatten 2x Affen und ein kleines Aguti in der Anlage - sehr schön.
Fußläufig ist die "Innenstadt" trotz Schotterpiste schnell erreichbar. Parkplatz ist in der Anlage direkt vor der Haustür.
Frühstück war lecker und sie haben uns wegen den Ausflügen auch etwas früher bewirtet.

Cons:

Es gibt eigentlich nichts groß auszusetzen.

Mauvais rapport qualité prix
Cons:

Arrivée tardive, le logement sent l’humidité et le renfermé. Pas d’eau, il a fallu rappeler le concierge pour ouvrir une vanne.
Le tarif est extrêmement cher pour la prestation comparativement aux autres logements que nous avons eut au Costa Rica et notamment à proximité de Cahuita.

No recomendable!
Pros:

La ubicación en el medio de la jungla es muy bonita! Habitaciones amplias!

Cons:

Falta luz y lamparas en las habitaciones. Por la noche no hay ninguna lamparita pequeña cerca de la cama para poder leer. La única luz de la habitación es la luz blanca del ventilador a 3m de altura. No podíamos ver el contenido de nuestras maletas sin la linterna del móvil (hablando de noche y de día). Súper oscura la habitación.

El precio de más de 100€/noche no lo vemos justificado PARA NADA. Era nuestro 6. alojamiento en Costa Rica dentro de nuestro viaje de 1 mes y era el peor.

No se ha puesto nada de amor ni cariño a estas cabañas. Es una pena. No hay ni una silla para sentarse afuera en la terraza.

Desayuno típico costarricense sin más.

En endroit vraiment cool.
Pros:

Un endroit ideal pour déconnecter. Niché en bordure de la jungle juste à côte du parc national de Cahuita. Très dépaysant.

Friendly, Eco is a Bonus
Pros:

First and formeost, much love to Gaia, our host. She is one of those quiet professionals who gets things done and doesn't make a fuss. Yet everything falls into place with little overt effort.

The facility is perfect, charming, rustic, and definitely built with the environment in mind. If you are in Cahuita for adventures, this spot will welcome you after a long day out with an inviting hammock on its generous patio. Plus our unit had a small, functional kitchen with a four burner propane stovetop and full-size (for Costa Rica) fridge. Beds were comfy, a/c cool, and the windows allowed for a breeze during the day. Shower big enough for a big dude, we enjoyed being indoors as much as out.

If you pick this place, you'll likely want to come back. We sure will. Thanks to all the staff and their commitment to preserving their beautiful environment.

An memorable stay in a Cabin with lots of Europeans in Costa Tica’s wilderness on the Caribbean Coast.
Pros:

We liked the lodge a lot, that it’s in the wilderness walking distance to Cahuita National Park, the beach, and the restaurants in Cahuita. The head of the staff was Gaia and she was very nice and efficient. We also liked the pool and the breakfast and the fact that for a nominal fee they did our wash and dried it.

Cons:

Everything

Nestle yourself in lovely gardens, watch monkeys and enjoy the Pura Vida at this lovely Ecolodge
Pros:

Friendly staff. great location, very close to the National Park, but also just out of main town so it was quiet. plentiful breakfast. Loads of wildlife in the gardens around the hotel - saw monkeys everyday (Howlers and Capuchins) and lots more. The pool is a great place to chill out and enjoy the gardens. The track to the hotel is well lit and perfectly safe. Rooms are good size and showers have plenty of hot water. Rooms had both air-con and fans so easy to regulate temperature.

Cons:

Only one hammock on the veranda - so there was always a bit of competition between my wife and I as to who could get in it first!!!

Hidden paradise
Pros:

Great place! We were lucky and the lodge was almost empty. We had the pool every afternoon for ourselves! The room was big and clean, comfy bed, good shower. Beautiful grounds. Quiet neighborhood

Cons:

Breakfast was on the small side. The lighting is very dim.

Lovely place!
Pros:

Lovely place. The staff was very attentive and bfast was really good! Great location just a few minutes walk to downtown and the national park. Lots of wildlife including howler monkeys. (The monkeys would start their noise around 4am so if you’re a light sleeper, bring ear plugs!)

Pros:

Las persona de la recepcion son muy amables. Es un hotel rustico. Lo que pueden mejorar es el agua caliente (es muy limitada, se acaba rapido), el internet en habitaciones, y definitivamente el desayuno, que no sabia a nada.

Très bien placé pour visiter le parc de Cahuita
Pros:

Accès à pied au parc de Cahuita, accueil cordial, les bungalows sont propres, un peu rustiques, mais conformes à ce que l’on trouve sur la côte Caraïbe.

Pros:

Bungalows bien ubicados, en medio de la naturaleza. Esta todo correcto, pero la cama necesita un cambio.

Gaia nos hizo una estancia agradable y sabe tratar al turista. Gracias Gaia.
