Molt bona.ubicació i entorn molt agradable.
Pros:

Entorn meravellós, habitacions còmodes, molt net,personal encantador. Sobretot la Naomi de recepció.
Moltba prop del centre de Cahuta on hi ha tots els locals.
Vam poder veure perezosos que baixaven dels arbres, colibrís...

Cons:

Potser un preu més car que d'altres de la mateixa categoria. L'esmorzar no ens va agradar massa.

Leuke efficiënte locatie, perfect op Cahuita en omgeving aan te doen. Aanrader !
Pros:

Zowel de lokatie als de huisjes zijn heel efficiënt en lieflijk ingericht. Het kostte mij heel even en toen had ik door hoe fijn en goed alles was ingericht en georganiseerd. Zeer gastvrij en behulpzaam personeel, comfortabele cabines, unieke rustige ligging aan zee, om de hoek bij de dorpskern.

Cons:

Het plaatsje Cahuita zelf leek wat uitgestorven toen wij er waren, alsof het vergane glorie was.

Pros:

Pequeno almoço excelente.
O quarto era espaçoso e confortável e a casa de banho bastante grande, nomeadamente, o chuveiro.
Simpatia dos funcionários.
O hotel é muito típico,inserido na biodiversidade do país e faz juz ao nome. É mesmo um encanto.

Pros:

Best place on our Costa Rica trip! We had a Studio on the 2nd floor and it was amazing. The awesome terrace was terrific. We would read a book, have a glass of wine and we even got a nightly visit from a sloth family. The staff was very friendly! 10 out of 10!

Pros:

The location, the pool, staff, the property grounds, and the wildlife were all terrific. And the breakfast was a nice extra.

Cons:

The room that was available for our stay was a little too small for a family of four. Door on bathroom provides no privacy.

Instalaciones geniales, personal no tanto.
Pros:

El entorno es inmejorable y la piscina es genial. El hotel es precioso lleno de vida, hemos visto muchísimos animalitos dentro.

Cons:

El personal del hotel. No recomiendo lavar la ropa allí. Nos han devuelto varias prendas con manchas de lejía, prendas que obviamente ya no sirven. Se lo hemos comentado y al principio se ha disculpado y nos ha dicho que lo iba a comentar con las personas que habían lavado la ropa. Cuando hemos hecho el check out nos han dicho que las manchas ya estaban y seguramente serían manchas de la playa (obviamente es lejía). Ni siquiera ha salido de ellos tener la deferencia de no cobrarnos el servicio de lavandería. Le hemos dicho que no lo íbamos a pagar y aunque no nos han puesto problemas, no esperábamos esa respuesta.
