Excelente lugar para desconectarte de la rutina !!!
Pros:

la tematica de la naturaleza !!! la playa esta hermosa !!!

Cons:

Los monos aulladores en verdad son escandalosos y nos despertaban por la noche, creo que una lampara de noche también ayuda un poco a la iluminación tenue (lo digo por los que tenemos esposa e hijas que no les gusta la oscuridad) y en general los precios del menu del restaurante estan algo elevados y los tour definitivamente si están a sobre costo !!!

Excellent!
Pros:

Location, food, staff, bed.

Endroit splendide restaurant passez votre chemin !
Pros:

L’emplacement dans la jungle luxuriante est un véritable coup de cœur , un monde vivant plein de charme nous avons adoré l’endroit malgré pas mal de pluie .

Cons:

Le restaurant, le dîner du soir est cher et n’est pas du tout à la hauteur de l’endroit , pizza grasse riz poulet secs, viande avec un goût de décongélation . Honnêtement si le restaurant avait été à la hauteur c’était un 10/10.
Petit déjeuner qui démarre à 7h je trouve cela tardif quand on a un gros décalage horaire . 6 h aurait été super

Pros:

We like that it was a small, quiet property with its own beach, well situated to tours, fishing, snorkeling, kayaking and rainforest tours and close to Puerto Viejo. Staff was especialy helpful is aranging our excursions on short notice and the service at the restaurant was very attentive and friendly. There was live music and events on site during the weekends but not too crazy. Rooms were neat and clean, with AC and breakfast was included.

Cons:

We would have liked if the bar was open a little later and that the chess set had a big board to play on. Maybe a giant tenga or connect four in the small area in the dining room.

Overall, we loved our stay and would happily return. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature!
Pros:

The location is absolutely incredible—nestled in the middle of the jungle and right on the edge of a private beach. Waking up to the sounds of nature and being just steps away from the sea was a dream come true.
The staff was adorable—always friendly, welcoming, and ready to help with anything we needed. Their warmth made us feel right at home.
The rooms were comfortable, though we noticed that those without terraces could feel a bit tight on space, especially in such a humid climate. A small outdoor area would have been handy for drying towels and swimsuits after a day of adventure!
The on-site restaurant was a real plus—delicious food and so convenient after a long day of exploring. It was wonderful to relax and enjoy a meal without having to venture out again.

Cons:

Nothing

Absolute Empfehlung.
Pros:

Die Lage der Anlage ist einfach traumhaft. Bungalow ist in sehr guten Zustand. War unsere letzte Unterkunft von insgesamt 9 in Costa Rica - drei sehr schöne Nächte vor Rückflug.

Cons:

Die Brüllaffen um 5:30 ….. die gehören aber einfach dazu.

Excelente
Pros:

Excelente el lugar y el servicio, el personal muy amable y servicial, desde el ingreso Katherine en la recepción muy atenta, Leo, Alejandro y Don Ronald en el restaurante siempre atentos y complacientes a nuestros gustos y preguntas.
Y un reconocimiento especial por la valentia y disposición, de los muchachos que arriesgaron su vida para salvar a turistas que estaban luchando por salir del mar, en una corriente de resaca.

Cons:

Puede mejorar con insistir más en la advertencia de las corrientes de resaca y tener un plan de emergencia claro y agil para actuar en estos casos.
