Les tentes sont très proches les unes des autres. Nous pensions y passer deux nuits. Nous avons écourtés, parfait pour une nuit mais pas plus. Parfait si vous souhaitez quelque chose qui ressemble plus à un club vacances moins si vous recherchez le côté nature seulement.

We love how the tent in location actually where the forest is natural. There are so many things to explore and listen to nature environment in the rain forest. The staff are awesome and very friendly with courtesy services. This is good opportunity for people who love to escape from city life and go into to the nature life.

This was our first time sleeping in a tent in the middle of the nature. The tents were comfortable and clean. They don't have AC but you don't need it, there is a fan that circulates the nice air during the night. Delicious breakfast and very relaxing. I recommend bringing a foam cooler with your favorite drinks and snacks. The road to the tents is unpaved so the ride is rocky and bumpy.

Dass Komfort in einem Zelt eingeschränkt ist, schien uns klar. Wir sind uns jedoch an besser eingerichtete Zelt-"Suiten" aus Kenya gewöhnt. Badezimmer-Teil müsste erneuert werden.

This hotel is a great experience for the right person. The jungle sights and sounds are amazing, and the room was actually really comfortable. I agree with other reviews that it's kind of amazing how much they're able to keep bugs out of the room. The beds were also pretty comfortable. But you have to be comfortable with the fact that you're basically outside minus the bugs and rain.

Even though we did not like the room very much, the experience of being in a tent allowed us to feel more connected to the wildlife in the area. We tent all the time and enjoy it very much. What made the tent at Pozo Azul most unpleasant was the musty smell from the tent. The high humidity is likely responsible for this. The towels and sheets looked tired and thin, to the point of ripping when used. The tent concept is great, but it needs some upgrading.

Costa Rican Glamping

This is a beautiful property! It was hard to find in the dark. The tents have screen doors with a lock and a bathroom with a closet with a lock. Definitely rustic! There are hiking trails on the property and a river. Buffet breakfast was included and they had a buffet dinner BBQ for $16. Unless you're planning to do a lot of activities (rafting, zip line, horseback riding) I can't imagine staying here more than one night.

Overraskende at sove midt i nattens dyrelyde

Komfortabel stor seng. Smart at man kan have sine ting på badeværelset, som kan låses. (Det ville jo være nemt for indbrudstyve at skære teltdugen op) vi troede vi var kørt forkert fordi vejen derud var meget dårlig og der ikke var skiltning. Vær opmærksom på at man er nødt til at køre til en restaurant, men der er en lille hyggelig Soda lidt nede af vejen. Husk at kigge på stjernehimlen

Séjour pluvieux

D’abord il faut faire quelques kilomètres sur une route de roches et de trous pour atteindre les tentes. La nôtre était un peu trop près de la réception, je suggère de demander plus haut dans la forêt. Le concept est très sympa, on dort dans une tente mais on a notre salle de bain privée qui permet aussi de ranger les bagages et elle se ferme à clef. Il a plu pendant tout notre séjour alors c’etait Très humide et impossible de faire sécher quoi que ce soit. La salle à manger toute ouverte est très sympa mais le déjeuner était très ordinaire. De plus, il devait commencer à 7hrs et nous avons du attendre car ce n’etait Pas près. Un des soirs, nous avons eu un souper de grillades à ce même resto pour 18$ par personne. Un peu cher mais comme il n’y a pas grandchose autour. L’autre soir, le resto était fermé et on n ous a offert une navette aller-retour pour aller manger à un resto très bien Mar y Tierra. Un groupe de jeunes de Kontiki a été très bruyant et comme nous dormons dans des tentes, on entend tout. Il devrait y avoir un couvre feu .

Good for one night, to get the jungle experience

It’s a good experience for a night, maybe two. The area is gorgeous. I was there for river rafting and stayed here for two nights. I wish I had only stayed one night. You definitely get the jungle experience, though. The road leading to the tents is atrocious, even by Costa Rica standards. The room/tent was ok. My tent (#9) had a few holes in it, so I got plenty of bugs and mosquitos in my tent, especially in the bathroom. The trail leading to the tent was not illuminated, mostly unpaved and became muddy after the rain. Make sure you have a powerful flashlight or headlamp. The one they give you when you check in is quite weak.

Große Enttäuschung

Die Zelte liegen direkt am Regenwald. Es gab einen schönen Wanderweg, indem man viele Tiere beobachten konnte. Die Zelte waren allerdings sehr abgewohnt, die Anlage war vor 5 Jahren vielleicht noch schön. Das Zelt roch extrem muffig, die sanitären Anlagen waren alt und rostig. Heißes Wasser gab es nur bei Anruf. Das Personal schien sehr unmotiviert. Der Dreck vom Vortagsfrühstück war am darauffolgenden Tag immer noch da. Das Zelt wurde nicht gereinigt, obwohl genügend Personal anwesend war. Früh um 6 wurde mit Rasen mähen begonnen, an Schlaf konnte man nicht mehr denken. Wir waren froh abzureisen, 2 Nächte waren viel zu lang.
