We had a little cabin with a kitchen and wood stove and it was lovely. Wished we booked it for a week and bought groceries to just live there. Saw a MotMot right outside our window. Perfect for honeymoon or second honeymoon.

the lodge we stayed at looked like something from a fantasy book. Excellent customer service, wonderful pricing, the restaurant was exceptional. There was an enchanting river with rapids that ran alongside our lodge. I felt like was in a dream! Will see you finally back for a longer stay! I have zero complaints.

The food was good and at affordable prices. The location is nice, with nice valley views. The room was pretty run down, and the linens even had a big hole. Based on the options in the area, which are limited, I think it is an average option.

Poor experience

We reserved the Luxury Studio on September. They told us someone else reserved this property. Not much fun getting a different place and splitting our group into two locations. The hotel rooms were ok to poor. The walls are paper thin. Could hear other guest music and kids playing video games. The wireless Internet bandwidth was bad to zero.

Excellent location. Beautiful and well maintained garden and swimming pool. Cabin was of good size but was missing some chairs, a table and hooks to hang clothes or towels. Bed was not comfortable.

This grounds of this property are beuatiful. It is as amazing as the surrounding area and the drive up to the property. It is peaceful and relaxing with views of the Talamanca mountains. The room was clean and comfortable. I would suggest some upgrades in the rooms to match the beautiful of the grounds outside. Even without the upgrades, I would certainly return, as the service, staff and experience was pleasant and unique. I loved walking in the gardens.

Séjour agréable.

Hôtel calme, en pleine nature. Chambre rustique mais en adéquation avec le lieu. Personnel serviable et souriant. Petit déjeuner moyen. Piscine agréable et bon restaurant. Correspondant parfaitement à nos attentes.

Lodge d'un confort moyen

Nous avions le lodge casita qui était simple, un peu sombre, pas de vaie vitrée comme dans les autres lodges. L'ensemble aurait besoin d'un rafraîchissement ( notamment la salle de bain) et surtout il faudrait changer le matelas car nous sentions trop les ressors. Sur place, il y a un restaurant qui est plutôt bon et pas trop excessive. Très bon accueil et toute l'équipe est professionnelle.
