Pros:

The property itself was charming and the front desk staff were genuinely kind and helpful. However, our experience in the room was unfortunately disappointing. Upon arrival, I found dead bugs—including what looked like baby cockroaches and flies—on the bed, along with stains on the sheets. I reported it to the front desk and they offered to move us to a different room, which I appreciated, but at that point it felt like too much of a hassle.

Later that evening, when my 14-year-old daughter and I returned to the room, we discovered large red ants in the bathroom and crawling around the room, along with a huge millipede scurrying across the floor. My daughter was terrified and refused to leave the bed for the rest of the night. It was clear we couldn’t stay for the remainder of the trip, so I ended up booking another hotel and leaving early—unfortunately without receiving a refund.

I completely understand that the property is in a jungle setting, and some critters are to be expected. But I’ve stayed at similar locations and never encountered this level of issue. I believe cleanliness, especially when it comes to bed linens and pest control, should be a top priority regardless of the environment

Pros:

We absolutely loved this Lodge! We stayed for one week. It was very clean and conveniently located, just a couple minutes walk to the beach. And lots of shopping and restaurants within walking distance. The breakfast was provided every day. And the staff was super friendly and helpful! They spoke English and helped us book an ATV for the week and surf lessons. Lovely people all around. In addition, our room was right in front of the pool, room number five, and the bathroom ceiling was partially see-through and we could see large iguanas and monkeys every day! Highly recommend!

Pros:

This boutique hotel is a little gem that incorporates the jungle like surroundings in a very tasteful way. The level of customer service was exceptional. A special mention should be made to the front desk receptionists and to the yoga teacher. The rooms are very functional, clean and stylish. I would highly recommend staying at this little “oasis.”
