Pros:

Great value stay, with clean and spacious rooms, tasty warm breakfast, and pleasant hotel grounds with plenty of greenery to do a little birdwatching. We're also very appreciative of the staff who helped us find a driver for transport between the hotel and nature spots, as well as for the transfer back to San Jose.

Pros:

Un alojamiento súper recomendable. Las habitaciones son sencillas y cómodas, pero lo mejor es el entorno. Zona de jardín con mucha vegetación y pequeñas charcas para pasear por la noche buscando ranas y otros animales. La zona de desayuno es estupenda y el desayuno fue el mejor de nuestras vacaciones en Costa Rica: muy completo y recién hecho. Además está junto a un río y tiene un restaurante muy bueno justo enfrente.

Un paradis sur terre
Pros:

Un paradis! Merci à Laura pour l'accueil incroyable. Elle nous a montré les grenouilles aux yeux rouges et les "blue jeans", emblématiques, elle a pris tout son temps et nous a donné plein d'explications. La chambre était superbe, le lit très confortable, le petit déjeuner exceptionnel. On mettrait sans hésiter 11/10!

Cons:

Tout était parfait!

Wunderschöne, familiäre Unterkunft mit herzlichen Mitarbeitern, tollem tropischen Garten und unvergesslichen Froschbeoba
Pros:

Wir haben uns vom ersten Moment an sehr wohl und willkommen gefühlt. Alle Mitarbeiter (vor allem Lorena, Lois und Angelo) waren unglaublich herzlich, aufmerksam und besonders kinderfreundlich. Bei Fragen waren sie jederzeit unkompliziert über WhatsApp erreichbar.
Besonders schön war der tropische Garten. Abends zeigten uns die Mitarbeiter (Angelo und Lois) die verschiedenen Frösche, die sich zwischen den Pflanzen versteckten – darunter waren wirklich wunderschöne Exemplare. Für uns und die Kinder war das jedes Mal ein kleines Erlebnis und unglaublich interessant.
Auch das Frühstück war toll und wurde jeden Morgen individuell und frisch für uns zubereitet. Die gesamte Unterkunft hat eine sehr persönliche, familiäre und entspannte Atmosphäre.
