the breakfast was great. the pool was a nice way to relax at the end of a long travel day. the staff was terrific. the grounds were a delight. flowers, birds, and butterflies everywhere. however, just an fyi: to those susceptible, like me there are pretty bad mosquitos. especially on the river walk. my wife noticed at the end of our stay that there is mosquito repellent at the desk.

Very nice property with stunning flora and fauna. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The included breakfast - fresh fruits, eggs, housemade toast and jam, rice and beans as well as a fresh coconut - was delicious, especially the coffee. I only stayed one night and had to leave early in the morning, wish I had more time here but plan to be back next time.

Top marks to the staff (special thanks to Xavi, Claudia, and Esteban) who made this the best hotel during our trip as their service was with a genuine smile and helpfulness. The rooms are very simple (youth hostel standard) but it is well-kept. The surroundings (lots of birds) are magical and fresh (lovingly-prepared) breakfast and dinner was very good. It is remote (that makes it special) so you do need a car or rely on transport. Highly recommend doing the Green Rivers rafting tour and the Night Tour with Sarapiqui Xperience (all booked via the hotel).

Una estancia fantástica. Una opción ideal

Hotel bonito, en medio de la naturaleza, cerca del Río Sarapiqui. Habitaciones e instalaciones cómodas. Todo limpio y bien cuidado. Tiene un restaurante muy bueno, especialidad en carnes, aunque todo lo que pedimos estuvo muy bien. Desayuno bueno, variado, aunque quizás podría ser un poco más abundante. Es lo único a mejorar. Buen precio. Familia de monos aulladores en árbol cercano. Senderos para caminar dentro del hotel.
