This place was phenomenal!!!! Private bungalows, private hot tubs, private swings and balcony, in the middle of the rainforest! A nice restaurant and bar on the property. A 10 min walk to the river. About a mile from La Fortuna Waterfall and near a ton of hot springs (may need to drive or uber to these, but I think the hotel would get you ride if you asked). Cannot recommend enough!
