This spot is such a hidden gem! We had the 2 bedroom villa with no pool and the entire villa had huge windows so we could see all the beautiful plants! The view into La fortuna was incredible as well while it still felt very private. Breakfast at geckos was delicious and such a cool spot, we got to hang out with Amber their cat and Chico their elderly dog who were so cute and sweet! There isn’t a gym or pool but it looks like they are building a new reception and hotel rooms on the property which is exciting. Couldn’t recommend this spot more!

We stayed in the three bedroom, three bath villa with a private pool. It was stunning. Everything was well maintained and clean. The kitchen had a full sized refrigerator, new gas burning stove, microwave, electric kettle, and toaster. We got groceries at the local supermarket and saved a lot of money by eating the free breakfast, stopping at nearby sodas for lunch, and cooking dinner or reheating leftovers from our nights out. There were plenty of towels, blankets, etc. The pool was well maintained and the view was just lovely. We had a pair of Toucans in the trees that enjoyed calling back and forth to each other in the mornings. The staff was very helpful with booking tours and giving advice. Security made getting Ubers and food delivery easy by directing drivers to our location. We would love to return in the future.

This place was incredible! Made me very nervous at first because there was no website and no one to call other than through the travel agency (please correct me if I’m wrong)… but the staff was so friendly, always smiling! The bungalows were stunning, spacious and have everything you need. Also, literally in the jungle! Fell asleep to the sound of animals every night and some rain. So peaceful. Also Geckos is AWESOME! Please help their shelter donate necessities and basics for the pups. You can volunteer too!

Really beautiful place and kind staff! We got a free room upgrade when we arrived and could hear the howler monkeys outside. They offer included breakfast at a restaurant nearby with free transportation there. Some of the best sleep I’ve got in a long time with the rain and bird noises :)

I wish there were trails on the property. There was some confusion in the booking because it wasn’t totally clear which villa I would be staying in. A little direct communication with the staff cleared up any questions, though. Upon arrival and throughout my stay the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly!

The breakfast was so good at Geckos! Scott and Charlie are the best!! Our villa at the lodge was beyond our expectations. It was beautiful, clean and very spacious. Our private pool was amazing. After a long day of hiking it was perfect with a glass of wine since we had a full kitchen. Laundry was $15 like people said in other reviews for a huge bag of dirty clothes. I came home tonight with hardly anything to wash. Having clean clothes in luggage when coming home is the best. The location couldn’t have been better!! Pura Vita!! Sincerely, Katie

Beautiful location with friendly staff and new, clean renovated cabins. There's some construction work happening on the grounds, but doesn't take away from the natural cloud forest experience. I would definitely stay there again. G.Miller USMC ret.

We arrived after hours and the guards took care of us no problem! We woke with the birds to head just down the hill for breakfast @ Scotts restaurant & dog rescue which was included with the room. Ricardo at the reception desk got us set up for the hanging bridges for an afternoon slot & we went to check out the waterfall for a few hours. This place is walking distance from La Fortuna steps entrance probably the best place to book in the whole city in our opinion! Thank you from hosting us. Nate & Bebes San Diego

The property is beautiful. It’s currently being renovated, but did not interfere with our stay at all. The suite was spacious and clean. Staff was very nice. The waterfall was down the road and so much better than a swimming pool.
