For the price point during peak season, our bungalow with its own jacuzzi all surrounded by amazing flora and situated at a fair distance from other nearby bungalows, with its own on-prem cute bar, located on a relatively quiet street, about 5 minutes by car from La Fortuna waterfall, was excellent.

Exceptional customer service, nice remote cabin, backing onto nature and could hear the river from cabin. Private and quiet. Good location to walk to town or la fortuna waterfall if desired. Shower was ambient temperature. I was greeted with delicious pineapple juice and they accommodated my later checkout. Thank you so much.

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!
