“Love the location! Love the trekking trail and yoga deck (facing nature). Pet friendly.”
Beautiful and clean pools. Clean rooms and cozy. Great breakfast and dinner. Great bread in both meals. Disability-friendly infraestructure, as long as the stay is at the villas down the hill, near reception, restaurant and pools. The villas up in the hill, close to the mountain have the best jungle experience. Loved them!

We love the garden setting of the accommodation and the fragrance of ylang-ylang as we ate at the lovely restaurant, open to all the sights and sounds of the surrounding greenery and wildlife. Everything was perfect for our overnight stay.

“Beautiful grounds and room”
Such a great place to stay. The grounds are gorgeous - beautiful sights and sounds. Huge room with great private verandah which even had a hammock. The onsite restaurant was also superb. The hotel is popular with small tour groups which is easy to see why. Everything is immaculate and the pool is wonderful.

“Quiet lush garden paradise”
We prolongued and almost stayed for a month because we lovedit so much. The garden space is beautiful, you can see so much wildlife here already. Wonderful staff, extremely friendly and professional. Nice pool area and the rooms are nice, you have your own private terrace. Rooms aren’t too big but if you upgrade to the suites, you’ll love it

Nice rainforest setting, huge gardens, nice pools, good breakfast, friendly and very helpful staff. Very relaxing and enjoyable. Close to Uvita and Manuel Antonio parks. Easy walk to the beach, although not recommended at night. Beach has strong current and waves, so we drove to Uvita for chilling day on the beach.
