This property is nothing short of spectacular! It is a family run business and the genuinely care about you having your best visit to Costa Rica! The property is beautifully kept and the staff are super friendly. In my opinion if you don't stay here... you might regret it. We are world travellers and this place is one of the most memorable.

Such a lovely place. There is a trail behind the property where you can watch the frogs. Chocolate tour is a walking distance. We booked a few tours with the property which we greatly enjoyed. We’d love to come back one day

The property itself is very beautiful, especially the trail nearby. However, there are definitely insects that can be found in the room as one may expect being at an eco-lodge. Bathrooms need to be renovated. Uber drivers are around and you are between 5 to 10 minutes to downtown La Fortuna

The staff was friendly and helpful as we checked in. There is an amazing walking trail just behind the property where you can see some beautiful birds hanging out. Easy to find and convenient distance from restaurants and activities. They also gave us complimentary coffee and welcome drinks :) We enjoyed our stay!

Nice cabins and very well equipped. Only issue was it was right on the main Street and there was only a hedge of bushes separating. Hence road noise was disturbing but overall great experience with spa and patio. Walk to river thru the forest was a big bonus

The property was conveniently located. Nice restaurant in walking distance. The cute outside bar offered a variety of drinks and was a nice way to relax before going to bed. The cottages were not quite what we expected. Could have been a bit cleaner. The hammock in the front defeated the purpose of relaxing as there was a lot of walk by traffic. Would have been better on the back porch.

We lived everything about this hotel. The bungalows were so cute and it had everything we needed. The whole staff was amazing we were greeted by Kevin he was so nice and accommodating greeted with cold towels which was everything we didn’t know we needed. I will definitely book again. I love a family owned business, you can tell the take great pride in hospitality.
