"Lovely property. Full of trails in its reserve. Went to the shore - 20 minutes through the woods - to the most magnificent and wild shore. Like heaven! Also went to the natural pool and waterfall - beautiful and cool! The garden, the ocean view from every spot, and the natural and simple wooden rooms - all was a great scene for nature. Dishes of the hotel restaurant (lunch/dinner), not cheap but very tasty. The only thing we missed is an umbrella (which was a must in any other hotel this time of year) for all very wet evenings that we got wet until got to the car..."

"Incredibly beautiful property with extensive grounds. Great place to enjoy a personal Costa Rican holiday. Hike about to experience their own lush waterfalls or just chill poolside then view a spectacular sunset. The varied rooms are spacious, well-maintained and appointed. From early morning with a tasty breakfast, the staff is available to assist you in making your plans for another enjoyable day onsite or with numerous options for touring nearby.
