“Perfect rainforest stay close to the beach”
Casa Lirio had everything you need. The nature at the property is insane. And the pool was great for the kids.

Beautiful rainforest lodge where there is nothing but some white sheets between you and the jungle. Lovely private surroundings and super helpful manager who took great care of us. The private pool was also really nice. Everything was very clean and great wifi and well equipped kitchen. Also no issues with mosquitoes.

“Magical stay in the middle of the rainforest.”
This is an extremely special lodge. It’s perfectly mingled with the rainforest around it - absolute paradise. The bungalows are well equipped, they have a private pool (major plus) and are surrounded by forest. Tine was very helpful during our stay

We loved so much Casa Heliconia that from 3 booked nights we made it to 6. This amazing place stole completely our hearts and if we wont back will only mean that we just moved to the neighbourhood for good :)

“We spend perfect days in Geckoes Lodge.”
It is a wonderful, lovely place. The houses are furnitured so beautiful and they are surrounded by rainforest. We saw the Agouti Agnes an Variolä Slots and could watch the Kolibris. It’s so peaceful. Also the surrounding villages and braches are beautiful.

“A luxury jungle glamping experience”
Best decision ever to stay there for a few nights. At first we were a little hesitant to book it because the house doesn’t have any walls. But we are so glad that we did it! It is a truly unique experience to be able to hear every sound of the jungle, day and night. Surprisingly we weren’t visited by too many critters. Just a huge grasshopper and a few smaller bugs. We didn’t see any spiders in the house. You can safely lock away any valuables in a safe in the house and in a big cupboard. The house has a beautiful open design and tasteful decoration. It has it’s own kitchen and a bathroom. It is easy to find. The property is not on a paved road. It was a little bumpy but not steep. We had a small 4x4 and had no problems to get there. Tine is a very very nice host. The jungle garden is great. We were able to see sloths, toucans, colibris, agutis and all other kind of wildlife from our porch. The only thing missing was a hammock to make it even more perfect. The last morning we ordered the breakfast (at extra cost). We loved to be able to enjoy it on the balcony, watching the animals in the garden. We would definitely stay there again!
