What a delight to be met by the owner José Alvarez, and then taken with our luggage up the steep hill to our cabin by his 4 wheel drive vehicle. The cabin was isolated and had a fabulous view of the forest and waterfall. The service was excellent and the food was fabulous at the restaurant. Josè is an amazing chef. Minor improvement to the room, there was nowhere to put our suitcases other than on the floor. We would have liked clothes hooks, suitcase stands and a small desk for writing. That said, the room was isolated, beautiful, and serene. The covered wildlife/waterfall viewing area and the hummingbird feeder area with a bathroom made bird watching very comfortable. What a delight to spot a basilisk lizard next to the waterfall viewing area. We saw it run across the surface of pond to catch a dragonfly! The water features on the property have been organized to maximize being attractive to wildlife. Easy to get to from San José, but we recommend hiring a driver. Traffic and roads are a bit crazy. Mid elevation rain forest bordering on farmland, this was good both for birds and for moths at night.

We checked in this property and after seeing our accommodations immediately began searching for a more suitable place to stay . The decor is very outdated . The furniture in the lobby is 1970s couch etc . The walk to our cabin was not lit . We used our cell phone to find our way . It’s extremely unsafe as it a rocky area with many steps . Our room was dirty and not well maintained. The bedding did look clean but the rest of the room did not . The bathroom is very old and stained . The shelving under the sink looked as if it had never been wiped . The paint is peeling . The windows do not open at all . There is no screen on the door to allow for any kind of air flow . No ceiling fan . It was very warm and smelled stagnant . We asked for a fan . They could not accommodate our request . Ate dinner in the restaurant before leaving for our next hotel . We figured pasta was a safe choice . It was absolutely horrible. I guess it could just be a matter of taste but neither myself or my husband ate more than the first bite we took . The sauce tasted burnt and extremely sweet . We paid our bill and left . We did have a very kind waiter . The place looks MUCH better in the photos . In reality it has a summer camp feeling . One that is way past its prime .

Nature at its best!

Beautiful location tucked away on a mountain side with all the privacy and jungle serenity you could possibly imagine. Jose and his staff went above and beyond to make sure you were totally taken care of. Food was always amazing. The sound from the waterfall really made the experience even better and relaxing.

The food here is amazing! Probably the best meals we have had in a long time! Breakfast cooked to order and lunch/dinners superb. We had the tropical chicken, tenderloin and trout during our stay. The property grounds are lovely for birding and Jose Alvarez (owner) has created a blind to view birds difficult to see. Hummingbirds abound. I hate to add any criticism as the place is so unique and lovely but our room could have had a bit more attention to detail (missing tiles, broken fridge) to make our stay perfect. We would come back!
