Pourquoi pas !
Pros:

Son cadre!
Chambre propre.
Petit déjeuner sympathique.
Merci au messieurs qui garde l’accès de l’établissement pour leurs sourires et toujours un mot gentil à la différence des autres employés.

Cons:

Pas de rafraîchissement offert à l’arrivée, c’est le seul parmi tous les établissements que nous avons fréquentés, la chambre attenante à un escalier métallique donc vous pouvez imaginer d’autant plus lorsque celle-ci est mal insonorisé.

Decent property
Pros:

Good decent Room. Decent staff. Welcome. Farm to Table restaurant is good.
The trails around the property is very well maintained. The Hammock gardens are refreshing.

Cons:

The breakfast offered is very ordinary. In terms of quality and variety. The options for vegetarians is even more limited. Breakfast area cleanliness could have been better.
Rooms have a concrete floor. It made it slippery and have to be careful.

Pros:

Amazing view across valley to the sea! We enjoyed the trail and night tour. Base for day trip to Monte Verde

Cons:

Permaculture was a big topic but maybe we only saw the show garden (seemed too small to support the restaurant.)

This was a wonderful place to stay with a great earth-conscious aesthetic and gorgeous view.
Pros:

The view was beautiful and there were many trails to wander on. The rooms were comfortable and very nicely decorated. I loved the ecotourist vibe. The pizza at the restaurant was excellent and not overpriced.

Cons:

The service at the restaurant was slow.
