We had booked a room that was not anything like the pictures on here - the room was small and didn’t have two double beds which is what I had requested and yet it was super expensive! I complained about it to the hotel and no one ever apologised or explained. Very disappointing as the hotel and venue is beautiful

Stunning hotel with the best thermal river in Costa Rica

The thermal river and pools were sensational. Unlike many other thermal pools this one feels really authentic

Magnificent natural property and facilities with impeccable guest services.

Magnificent property and facilities, and impeccable guest services. Staff were incredibly helpful in the months and weeks leading up to our stay, proving lots of information, answering our questions, and helping us plan several things before we got there. When we arrived, were given the royal treatment, from a golf cart to bring us and our baggage to the reception and our bungalow, and cool drinks at check-in. The facilities were gorgeous, beautifully designed, with lots of care to ensure sustainability. The property and thermal river were wonderful for nature lovers, and we loved exploring the various areas for swimming. We also took a hike and the complimentary yoga class. The food at the bar and restaurant was delicious, and the view above the canopy was stunning. We had one of the East Bungalows right on the edge of the canyon and just loved hanging on the swing hammocks on our balcony early in the morning to hear the birds, the flowing river – and very often watched a family of howler or white faced monkeys swing by.

Money is more important than guest experience

The area around the hotel is lovely. Great short trails to hike. Plenty of activities on offer.

Perfect balance of activity and relaxation

Such a beautiful hotel and great concept! There was always something to do and explore. We loved the yoga under the trees, the thermal river, the zip lining, the walks, but my very favorite thing was waking up in the morning and having this unobstructed panoramic view into the jungle. The room was perfect. Everything was very detail oriented and the staff was incredibly friendly.

Simply the best 🙌

One of the nicest resorts I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. Absolutely phenomenal facilities with incredibly friendly and professional staff. This was the highlight of our 2 week stay in Costa Rica...already trying to find room in the calendar to come back ASAP! If you're considering booking in here, just do it. You will not regret it.

This lodge is a treasure. Bungalows of different sizes and facilities are scattered throughout the forest. We stayed in the spacious centre bungalows with large panoramic windows overlooking the forest, a seating area and an outdoor shower. All furnished to a high standard, wonderful bed and bed linen. There is an (empty) fridge and daily small fresh bottles of water and air conditioning. We only met very friendly and helpful people. The whole atmosphere is very relaxed and the location above the gorge, the beautiful architecture and design do the rest. We stayed at the lodge at the beginning of December. At this time of year, the dry forest is full of leaves and particularly beautiful. You should know that this is not the case at the end of the dry season. The food was very good and the selection of dishes offers enough variety even if you are there for several days. From our point of view, the price-performance ratio is also good. The (cold and warm) pools and the thermal river where you can enjoy the warm water in a natural environment are wonderful. There are monkeys but unfortunately few other animals, especially few birds compared to other areas in Costa Rica. However, this is due to the dry forest ecosystem. Due to its proximity to the airport in Liberia, the lodge is a good place to end a trip to Costa Rica.

The location is stunning, lovely staff, very good food, a lot of things to do and the yoga, tubing and the walk in the morning were great. The thermal rivers were unbelievable! It was my birthday and I got a lovely surprise in the room. Very attentive!

We only stayed one night but I could have easily have stayed more.

This was a to notch facility. Every detail was taken care of. When we arrived they had a table with cook drinks and cool towels for us as we checked in. The staff was very accommodating at all times. They knew I needed a glass of cool water by the pool before I could even ask. The river was amazing but a bit tricky to walk to.
