Buen servicio, buenas instalaciones incluso la cocina compartida está muy aseada. Volveriamos !
Pros:

Nos encantó la habitación, estaba en el segundo nivel y teniamos una terracita con un árbol, la cama muy cómoda y el acceso entre el jardín nos pareció super lindo, pero sin duda lo mejor fue estar tan cerca de todo, nos bajamos del bus y caminamos unos metros desde la terminal y una vez instalados solo tuvimos que caminar un poco al hermoso parque nacional, y también las opciones para comer rico y cerca son muchas. Además el servicio es muy bueno, una noche perdimos las llaves en la playa y nos ayudaron a resolverlo a las 11 de la noche, cosa por la que quedamos muy agradecidos.

Cons:

Aunque la habitación nos encantó creo que mejoraría muchísimo con AC.

Great facilities and a lovely chill atmosphere, although I cut my stay short as not much to do in the area.
Pros:

The kitchen had very good facilities. And the rooms were kept clean. A locker is given to you on arrival which was very handy

Cons:

Staff would enter the room quite often and without knocking. And when needed was very rarely at the property.

Una estadía acogedora cerca del Parque Nacional Cahuita
Pros:

Tuve una excelente experiencia en Secret Garden. El lugar transmite tranquilidad desde el primer momento, rodeado de naturaleza, con espacios muy agradables para descansar y una ubicación privilegiada muy cerca del Parque Nacional Cahuita. Las áreas comunes están muy bien cuidadas, la cocina compartida es práctica y completa, y el ambiente general permite desconectarse y relajarse de verdad.

Destaco especialmente la calidez del personal, la buena organización del auto check-in y la sensación de seguridad y comodidad durante toda la estadía. Se nota el esfuerzo por ofrecer una experiencia auténtica y acogedora en medio del entorno natural del Caribe costarricense.

Además, envié directamente al hotel un correo con observaciones y detalles de mi visita, con el objetivo de aportar de manera constructiva al fortalecimiento de la experiencia que ya ofrecen a sus huéspedes. Sin duda, es un lugar al que volvería y que recomiendo para quienes buscan descanso, naturaleza y una experiencia diferente en Cahuita.

Cons:

La estadía fue muy agradable. Siempre hay pequeños aspectos operativos que pueden optimizarse, pero en términos generales la experiencia fue positiva y acogedora

Pros:

I stayed in the mixed 10 person room. Pretty location, nice kitchen, comfortable beds. I liked that there was a door for the bathroom section so when people were using sinks or lockers, they didn't make noise for the main room. I also liked that the lockers were big enough to put my backpack in.

Cons:

Bugs crawling in the lockers, no main public bathroom so if someone was using the bathroom in your room then you had to wait. Lots of mosquitos outside.
