Great location, within walking distance to La Fortuna waterfall and just a short (5min) drive into town. The cabin was comfortable and quiet in a beautiful wooded setting. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Our host was very knowledgeable and helped us to book local activities

The care that the owner put into this place is impressive! The green around with the birds singing it’s amazing! The walking pat with bridges made me smile 😊. The little pool is super cute!!The young guy Maikel was incredible and helped us with anything! Jason from the tour desk is so cool 😎! The fact that the waterfall entrance is right there and that they have horses is very nice!! If internet goes down just let them know and they will fix it. It’s close to Springs and activities but you need a car. I want to add that I been traveling for many years in many countries and the people in Costarica are awesome, they go above and beyond to help you and not for the tips but because they really care and because they have big pure hearts, they are simple and live simply, I wish we could all be like them!
They should have one sweet option for breakfast, like marmalade or cereals or pancakes.

Micheal was great. My room was super clean. Saw monkeys, sloths, and birds around the cabin.

The staff, Damien and Manual Antonio were great.
"Nature walk" = death trap, no coffee in room, fridge and coffee maker have no wall outlet to plug into, room lights are all or nothing, no evening light, walk to room will be too much for some people.
