Shower water temp beyond control. Bathroom is old and could be cleaner. A/C water dripping to the room floor all night. Room too dark, more light needed. It’s not a low price lodge, would be great if the owner can invest on some improvements. Kitchen lady is nice and friendly.

The owners and family were amazing and friendly to help! Rooms average but clean. Unfortunately we were expecting a normal restaurant per the website and that is not available unless a group is pre booked.

Situated in a local neighbourhood off the hwy. 30 minutes to San Antonio National Park. One large and comfortable room. Air con is off when you first arrive so the room is stuffy but once the AC is running for about 30 min room is comfortable. A large, glass window and door are secure but one must close drapes for privacy.

Definitivamente es la mejor estancia que he tenido en Costa Rica. The owner of the hotel is the most kind and helpful person in the world. I spent an excellent time talking to her. I would definitely go back to the hotel, and would recommend it. It´s a 10/10 hotel. Near to Quepos (if you have a car) and other interesting places(Bandera and Palo Seco beaches), spacious rooms and very quiet place to be relax.

- sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter/Atmosphäre. Fühlt sich weniger touristisch an, mehr lokal..was gut ist ! - Bei Ankunft direkt vom Eigentümer begrüßt worden und alle nötigen Infos erhalten. - Hotel übernimmt Tourbuchungen und ist sehr hilfsbereit bei Urlaubsplanung usw - Eigentümer macht schöne Kanuausflüge direkt vom Hotel aus - viel Wildlife ist aber eher ausserhalb der Regenzeit zu sehen. In der Regenzeit gibt es nur ganz vereinzelt Vögel. Garantiert sind aber Lizzards und Äffchen... Die Mangrovenlangschaft ist sehr interessant und man lernt viel darüber - Der Aufenthalt lohnt sich nur mit Mietwagen - ist aber kein negativer Punkt, da alles viel persönlicher, weniger touristisch und ruhiger !

This place was a great choice. We had a great room, very friendly owner walked us around the whole property talking about the plants and facilities. The food was amazing as it was typical local fare. The owner even picked a ripe soursop from her onsite tree for us for breakfast.

Perfect service! Beautiful lodge, very clean! Safe area. Monkeys stopped by in the morning, so funny to see them so close. The staff Marlene, William and the ladies are wonderful people, the feel like family. Delicious food! They know how to cook!! This was the best stay during our vacation. Marlene gave us good advice about Parque Manual Antonio. Approximately 30 minutes from the parque. Muchas gracias a Tia Marlen, William y a los miembros de la familia! Abrazos!

Great place, comfortable, clean and the staff is incredible. The owner Marlen what a women so kind and nice. We felt like at home. The manglar tour is superb a must see and live experience. Beach is not that close (not that far either) but still this place is worth the distance. We will come back we loved our stay.

Kayak Lodge is a beautiful place, but what makes it truly special is the family that owns the place. They’re all warm, polite and extra nice, always willing to make sure you enjoy your stay. Marlene, the lady owner, makes the best Costa Rican breakfast and she goes the extra mile at making sure you are spoiled when serving it! You almost feel like going to visit an aunt you rarely get to see because of the distance, the kind that will have you go back home well-fed and with a wide smile across your face. Plus: you can cook your own meals at the kitchen, if you like.
