We absolutely loved being immersed in the jungle, surrounded by nature! Nita and Marty have truly built a little paradise here. Incredibly responsive to communication and very helpful. Breakfasts were easily customizable and tasty. Room was clean and hosts made sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend their B&B. The road to the property is a bit challenging, so I would suggest driving to it at least the first time in the daylight.

Marty and Nita were fabulous hosts and made sure we were very comfortable. Their property is breathtaking and it’s great to be able to be guided on must do activities. They served a great breakfast everyday as part of our stay and they had several adorable dogs around to pet and gush over. Very close by is a convenience store and a good restaurant. This was an excellent home base for us and we are glad we stayed there. They have a great masseuse on call which I highly recommend and the view from the hot tub is amazing.

We were very excited to stay here for the start of our trip! We wouldn't usually stay somewhere as expensive but read the reviews and photos and decided to splurge! We were really looking forward to meeting/having Marty & Nita as hosts due to how great of reviews they got. It was also important to us to stay somewhere with English speaking hosts as we do not speak Spanish and wanted to be able to communicate smoothly and get recommendations! Unfortunately, Marty & Nita were not there during our trip. Their staff were all very kind but we were not able to communicate with anyone, which was difficult at times. The breakfast was great, property was well taken care of, and we loved spending time with the dogs! We were also expecting the property to be more private as it is only two rooms but there was very limited privacy with workers staying there as well. Overall, we had a great experience!

My husband and I stayed for 4 nights celebrating his 50th birthday. The property is absolutely gorgeous and unique. The hosts Nita and Marty and so warm and welcoming. Everyday was started with a delicious breakfast overlooking their beautiful gardens and volcano views when the clouds cooperated. We did a wide variety of activities in the area from hiking to soaking in the hot springs. Best part of our Costa Rica trip by far.

If we could give 6 Stars we’d give 10. Our experience was that incredible. Marty and Nita, Mayqiel and Priscilla outdid themselves in caring for all of our needs. The rooms are amazing. The property, pool, jacuzzi, chairs, lounges, and trail to the jungle were just a part of the appeal to their place. Check-in was easy, and the daily breakfasts were so good. Oh, and let’s not forget the view of the Volcano from the pool and the view of Lake Arenal from the spa. Nothing but goodness, and the spirit of Pura Vida.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 5-night stay and all of the activities in and around the house and region. There’s so much to recommend — where to begin? First and foremost, the owners. Marty and Nita are lovely, interesting, worldly, creative and gracious — and especially attentive and generous in their hospitality and knowledge of the area. They gave us good hiking tips, helped arrange a fantastic boat tour, and were always responsive on WhatsApp before and during our trip. Their staff were friendly and talented too, preparing delicious breakfasts at tables adorned with candles and fresh flowers overlooking a lush and gorgeous garden. We loved daily dips in the pool and hot tub, and the private dinner on our last night. An architectural and design splendor, this home is a must-stay!
