Au delà de nos attentes
Pros:

Avant toute chose, l'accueil, la disponibilité et la gentillesse de Mariella, la patronne et de son employée Laura. Le lieu est un petit paradis où l'on peut observer singes et Toucans juste en levant la tête.

Cons:

Lugar mágico en el bosque
Pros:

Este hotel es toda una experiencia y tienes que estar preparado para vivirla: el hotel se encuentra en bahía drake, en medio del parque corcovado. Estás literalmente en la selva. Es un lugar muy tranquilo y relajante, las habitaciones son cabañas, hay una piscina de tamaño perfecto, se sirven desayunos muy abundantes hechos en el momento.
Durante nuestra estancia nos atendieron Laura y Mikel y Laura fueron muy amables con nosotros. Laura es una persona extraordinaria que nos organizanizo todas las excursiones. Estamos muy agradecidos a ella

Cons:

Algo que no me esperaba es k las casas no tienen ventanas, hay como una rejilla y la primera noche me costó acostarme. Tienes k llevar spray antimosquitos seguro

I really enjoyed Hidden Paradise lodge and would go back again.
Pros:

The cabins were nice and clean. I liked that there was a porch with a hammock and chairs to sit on. It was not crowded when we went so we had the pool all to our selves. We saw a toucan and parrots while sitting by the pool. We ate booth dinner and breakfast at the lodge. The food was very good. The price for the dinner was very reasonable considering that it included and appetizer, main dish and dessert. The host were very nice and helpful.

Cons:

The room did not have AC but it did have 2 fans. When we were there the weather was warm and humid.
The hot water ran out quickly in the shower.
It is a 15 min drive from the center of town.

Great Stay in the jungle
Pros:

Quality food, great staff
Staff did put together a lot of stuff to do for us and every thing we asked for was settled in a record time. We were there for new years eve and the tuna was to die for !!!
we saw toucans and other great wildlife in our three days at the property
Thanks Roy for putting up with us !

Cons:

pool was a bit cold and place is a bit further from the downtown village although the hotel is self sufficient.

Felt like a real and authentic paradise!
Pros:

Our family just wrapped up a 3 night stay at Hidden Paradise lodge and it was a dream. Beautiful, authentic and just perfect for what we wanted as a family. The staff are so kind, attentive, helpful and true pura vida vibes. We loved every breakfast and dinner so much. The pool was fabulous! Mariela, Jorge and Ryan helped us organize our day trips and we were extremely pleased!! We will be back!

Charming cabins in lovely setting
Pros:

The cabins are located on beautiful grounds, and the room was simple but clean and comfortable, with a good fan. We loved having the little terrace with a hammock.
The pool area was very nice, and welcome in the heat.
The staff were helpful in arranging transfers for us and also booked us on a night tour.
We opted to have lunch on one of the days, which was delicious.

Cons:

The on-site staff were friendly but didn't speak a huge amount of English, so it was a little difficult to make arrangements at times.
I had informed the staff that I am pescatarian before our trip but was then served meat at breakfast, so would have appreciated this being checked upon arrival. There was no choice given for meals.
We had booked onto the night tour, which I understood would leave on foot from the hotel (as advertised on the hotel website), but then we were told we would need to go back into the town for it, so this was a bit confusing.
The cost of the transfers into the village etc. ended up being quite high, so we had a rather large bill of extras to pay at the end of our stay.
Wifi coverage was not very good, which caused issues when trying to exchange messages with the reception or making card payments.
