Unforgettable experience

An amazing experience. A great place to stay and enjoy the wildlife of the Corcocada National park with it rich ecco system. Not a modern brick highrise hotel, but selection of private villas set in a lush hillside garden, each having a stunning view of the Pacific with the lagoon just infront. The individual villa had a large deck with a punge pool (as well as the main hotel pool), and a semi “outdoor “ bathroom to really get back to jungle nature. The sleeping area, main room has wire mesh insect netting, so no bites! Possible to sit on the deck or in the plunge pool with cute quati animals running roind, red macaws in the trees and howler monkeys calling from the forest. (pretty special ). Canoe tours round the tranquil lagoon at dawn or dusk are also a great way to see many birds and crocodiles. A tradition of a sundowner drink in the open air reception building was a memorable way to see the Pacific Ocean. This is also where the meals, that are included are served, local style food specially prepared by the hotel chef. The hosts, Greg and Keiko could not have been more helpful or hospiable, and make sure that you get to experience everything that you want to see or do during your stay. Would highly recommend. The hotel is slightly off the beaten track, even if you have a car, so make sure to work out transportation with the hotel.

Great experience, exceptionally friendly and supportive staff!

The view is exceptionally. The most beautiful we ever saw. The nature with all the wild animals, tons of macaws, coatis, agutis, tons of zopilotes, monkeys, Kolibris, crocodiles in the lagoon. The staff went above and beyond also we were almost the only guests but the staff made the stay extremely nice! The food of Renee was so delicious, Renee is really a great chef!

without any doubt the best place we’ve stayed at in Costa Rica

amazing location, genuine wildlife, exceptional hospitality, lovely guests, just the right size, there is literally nothing around other than jungle, it’s obvious a lot of love has gone into the design of the entire place, the pool and restaurant would win a Picture postcard competition, feels like family run business, shockingly good piña coladas!

Overpriced and Rude Owner

The location is beautiful, and the rooms have a great view. There are a lot of birds that "stop by" including toucans and macaws. The receptionist was very kind and understanding. He went way out of his way to make up for the mistakes of the owner.

Nature at its finest

The staff was great! Very welcoming and accommodating to our queries and needs. The views are incredible and the most beautiful scenery I've seen. The animals and bugs were in abundance and interesting to learn along the way. Serene and quiet with nature.

Beautifull location, bad service

The location is truly unique. Very relaxing to enjoy the views of the lagoon and listen to the sounds of ocean. The lodge is close to the Carate air strip from where also our guided tour to Corcovado NP started. We however did not arrive by air but drove ourselves. The gravel road from Puerto Jimenez was much better than we expected, the drive took only about an hour. Warned by the reviews of previous visitors our expectations regarding service were limited and being the only guests during our 3 night stay we had the full attention of two volunteer girls staying at the lodge for 2 weeks and being a kind of point of connection to the more or less invisible staff of the lodge (the owner lives in Italy, hasn’t been at the property since 2 years). Large swimming pool in beautiful setting. Great place for nature lovers.
