Amazing experience. The grounds were so lush and beautiful. The restaurant was also great- fairly priced and quick. Drinks were soooo delicious. Also overlooks the lush trees and even saw monkeys from here!! Another highlight is the staff. Specifically Kenneth in the bar and Isaac at the restaurant. So friendly, welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable. This is less of a resort feel and more mountain cabin, but still has really great perks like the jacuzzi - we went in every night. Amazing spot!

Great property right in the middle of La Fortuna. Within 30 mins drive of all the places and things you want to see/do. Beautiful view of the volcano. Friendly staff. Rooms are in very lush vegetation which gives a mystic vibe. Amazing experience all together.

Lots of birds, trees and flowering plants from our front and back porch. Restaurant food was good. The bed was comfortable but furniture and lighting could be improved. Good location with other restaurants either walkable or short drive away.

Very good experience with everything. Staff were helpful and friendly. The bungalows are large and very unique. Close enough to the city but far enough away to feel safe. Great location next to the jungle and the river walk. The Howler monkeys woke us up early each morning but that was part of the whole experience. Very good food at the onsite restaurant as well. We would definitely stay there again.

Family stay in nature

Fabulous place in gorgeous nature. The cabins are very fun and feel private with all the vegetation around. We had excellent service from the staff, and a great, rainy night tour on the property from Carina. Very quick walk to mini market and restaurants but off the main drag so it’s nice and quiet
