The Casa Divina eco lodge was a divine property! We stayed here for two nights, and felt like we were truly staying in a jungle treehouse. The cabins were so comfortable with a great cross-breeze, and we loved the 3rd floor observatory deck above the check in building; we even ended up falling asleep in the hammocks! It was quite easy to call a taxi to / from the property to Mindo, and we even walked into town a few times. The breakfasts were also super tasty, and included fresh fruits and juice, waffles one day and an omelet the next, and all the coffee. We didn’t end up partaking in any of their offered bird watching tours, but we enjoyed walking around the property amongst the tropical plants and birds! Finally, we really appreciated all the efforts they made towards making the property sustainable and eco-friendly!

This is such a nice hotel in the middle of the forest, but still close to town. Perfect location.

I liked everything about the property. There was nothing to dislike!

Truly magical place. Everything about this property is thought through and beautifully designed. The staff is great and so is the food. We enjoyed seeing beautiful birds on the fruit feeder and from the top patio. The cabin was super comfortable

Nothing not to like

The grounds are beautiful. The room was quiet and private. Nice design touches throughout.

There are 2 things I would say: location and price. The location is fairly far out of town, which should have made it perfect for bird-watching, but very few birds came by. There did not appear to be enough open space for them to want to come, so we were remote without the benefit of being so. There were no feeders, so there was no advantage to being at this lodge than any other. Which brings us to the second issue: This place is way over-priced for what you get. Other eco-lodges in the area are considerably less expensive for a comparable experience. Likewise, while free fruits were on offer throughout the day, the meals were atronomically priced ($25 each for dinner? The same food could be had in town for $10.) AND, they charge you $2.50 for tea and coffee outside of breakfast hours. That's for hot water, folks! The whole thing felt like a money-grab and it left a bad taste in my mouth.
