Beautiful location in the jungle and loved being able feel close to and see the wildlife - monkeys, macaws, agoutis, etc. We enjoyed that it was different from standard hotels and perhaps more like what lodges were like before more western accommodations took over tourist hot spots. Waking up to howler monkeys was so cool and I’m really glad we experienced this. Enjoyed the very filling breakfasts and the coffee was so so good! Staff very nice and accommodating. Double bed was very comfortable. Great value.
Coming from a cold place, and it being a hot time of year in PV, it was a bit hot and humid for us without AC, but we knew that in advance and took the risk and are still happy with our stay. It also is very easy to hear guests in other rooms but the upside was being able to hear the wildlife. I think it’s just important for folks to know what to expect and read the property description and browse the photos. It is a jungle lodge.

Beautiful serene location, srrrounded by jungle, very short walk to the beach. We stayed in the bungalow and appreciated the privacy and the private pool attached. I loved the outdoor feeling of the shower and the overall style of the lodge. Beds were comfortable. Delicious breakfast every morning. Sylvia and her family have created a unique place to stay in paradise.

Nature to the core. Howlers begin calling an hour before sunrise and do not stop until the break of day. Then the song birds begin. As evening approaches, the bats fly low as the frogs begin their calls, which continue through the night. The sounds of nature are loud. If you need your beauty sleep, then look elsewhere. The room was architecturally simplistic and pleasing, meeting basic needs and comfort, including hot water. Healthy, nourishing breakfast and dinner.
