Good location although nothing else around

Breakfast was fine. We also liked the jungle -we chose this place because their website ptomited nature.

“The room was musty and smelly, it was terrible”

Breakfast was decent, location is very nice and territory is beautiful

Great place for New year's Eve. They really did a great party

Loved the location, amazing wildlife in the forest, great walks around the property.

Amazing location in the middle of their own little bit of jungle as you'd expect from the name. A big river runs through the property and gives plenty of scenic shots for a keen photographer. I stayed in a premium room over in the Santa Maria 'village' bit. It's separate from the main hotel, nice and quiet and very pretty, with ranch style rooms centred around a pretty garden with bandstand. It's only a two minute walk from the restaurant etc. Nice big airy room, spotlessly clean. Huge bathroom. Massive TV. Lovely towels and bedding. Good AC. I went for all inclusive at the last minute which is just as well as torrential rain hit for three days and the main roads were closed due to flooding! All the local reserves were closed (Carara is a few minutes away) so I had to stay out. Plenty of food, drinks, snacks to keep me going. And the open reception areas and cafe were great to sit and read, edit photos etc while the rain pelted down. Some lovely wildlife did appear just as I was leaving and the sun came out, and families were in the pool. Really friendly staff, especially Daniela who helped me sort a few trip problems. A lovely place and highly recommended - I was just really unlucky with the weather.

“Great way to experience local attractions and cousine”

Great location in the middle of the tropical forest while very close to the coast

“Very pleasant few days”

All good

“Iguana paradise, great stop for crocodile tours”

Unbelievable amounts of wildlife in the daytime around the hotel. Trails to walk on throughout the day and night and a great river to walk along. Nice pools, many of them. Breakfast was really good.

“Location & trails were good. Accommodation very disappointing given the price.”

The location was good as I’m a birdwatcher. The trail network was also very good.

“Beautiful grounds, great birdwatching”

The location and grounds were wonderful. The gardens are beautiful and the pools are nice. The grounds were great for spotting birds and wildlife, and there are a lot of activities available through the hotel. The frog pond outside the restaurant was great!

I didn't like the water cuts (twice in two days), cobwebs above the bed, the paid trails while other lodges allow free access to their trails

“Upscale lodge with the location close to NP Carara.”

Location to NP Carara and staffs were nice and kind.

“Unexpectedly lovely place, attached to a great crocodile watching trip, on route back to San Jose.”

Great place for a stop over on the way back through to San Jose, and flying out. We would like to have stayed a few more days. The wildlife in and around the hotel, the accommodation, facilities and food were all great.

“Too busy around the pools. Staff made the visit pleasant.”

Pretty enough, raining so didn’t see much. Great staff

“Good for one night, didn't use the pool, wish we had more time to.”

Location, facilities looked good and it was easy to access

Parking directly in front of our room. The birds can be seen everywhere. The sky walk tour(hanging bridges) offered by the hotel, it cost 18 dollars per person with a guide.

“Good hotel but not a great one.”

Good restaurant and very good buffet breakfast with plenty of choice. The location is good for visiting crocodiles in the nearby river Tarcoles. The rooms were large and the AC powerful. Rooms were clean and beds quite comfortable. The room amenities were adequate but this is not a luxury hotel.

“Green oasis, very good value”

Hotel is located in a beautiful valley with lots of greenery, a river you can swim in and a very picturesque ‘colonial village’ The frog ponds next to reception attract tons of beautiful frogs in the evening. Nice pools, lovely grounds with lots of facilities like football table and poolside bar. Rooms are clean and spacious
