Pros:

Location close to the river and in the jungle is great. Mixed feelings about the staff though. A very positive impression of Dennis, who took his time to explain everything and was very professional.

Cons:

Another staff member, Val, however was a different case entirely. Her puppy, half a rottweiler, who wandered around the hotel unattended during our stay, caused quite some mayhem. It chewed on my girlfriend's sandal and tore up her bikini. How it could do so, even walk around freely a day after biting another guest in the face is a mystery to me. Val's reaction was less than satisfying to put it mildly.

Erg leuke verblijfplaats!
Pros:

We zaten nog op de boot en er stond al iemand te wachten op het ponton voor onze komst. We voelden ons direct welkom. Het verblijf was hier heel leuk! Ons huisje was proper onderhouden en lag vlak aan het water. De family dinners zijn ideaal om andere reizigers te ontmoeten. Je merkt dat alles hier goed is geregeld. Na het avondeten vragen ze naar je plannen voor de volgende dag waarna ze alles in orde stellen op een vlot verloop. Zo zijn wij een dagje gaan kanoën naar de mangroves en zijn we de volgende dag met de kano naar Livinston gevaren (aanrader!), terwijl onze bagage werd nagebracht door het Finca Tantin-personeel.

Cons:

Ons huisje lag vlakbij het restaurant, dus de muziek uit de keuken als de mensen die er ''blijven plakken'' zijn goed hoorbaar. Verder is het avondeten vrij basic. Voor ons mochten er nog meer groentjes aanwezig zijn.

Pros:

An amazing hostel located up the Rio Finca which flows into the Rio Dulce. Having stayed at another lovely hostel close to the town of Rio Dulce, I would say this end of the river is more beautiful and unspoilt. You can take kayaks out and explore the little mangrove creeks near the hostel or venture as far afield as the Biotopo nature reserve. So many suggestions of fun and interesting things to do you could easily spend a week here!

Pros:

Am Ufer des Rio Tatin gelegen, ist die Lage natürlich super. Das Team ist wirklich klasse und hilfsbereit.

Cons:

Die Unterkünfte sind natürlich sehr einfach, es fehlte zunächst so was wie ein Ventilator, was bei den Temperaturen wirklich notwendig ist, aber der wurde auf Nachfrage besorgt.

Il paradiso
Pros:

Singolare e immersa nel verde, offre tutti i servizi di cui c’è bisogno, c’è un’accoglienza speciale e non hai bisogno di nulla , solo di rilassarsi e organizzano a tuo piacere i vari tour spiegandoti tutto nei minimi dettagli. Non potrei scegliere posto migliore!

Cons:

Essendo selvaggia e immersa nel verde ci sono diversi insetti e ragnetti in giro.

Great place to get into nature and away from the crowds
Pros:

Such a peaceful part of the river and we stayed at one of the waterfront bungalows. The family dinners were great, always tasty food and they catered to vegetarian too. We brought food with us for brekky and lunch. Great to be able to rent kayaks and explore.

Cons:

They contacted us saying the room we booked on Booking wasn’t available but still changed us to another waterfront room, so it all worked out. No communal kitchen so if you do bring food it has to be simple to prepare.

Exceptional
Pros:

Excellent ecolodge with lots of activities to do in the area. On-site restaurant is caters to any diet and family meals are available every evening so guests can socialize together. Splendid experience for me as a solo traveler. If you are the type to blowdry hair or require internet this is not the right place for you.

Pros:

Finca Tatin is a beautiful place to stay! It feels like you’re in the middle of the jungle but you’re also right next to the river. They have family dinners every night which is a good time to meet new people and the staff are soooooo nice!

Cons:

The mattress wasn’t the greatest, but that’s all actually!
