The owners are laid back and welcoming and it's obvious they are proud of their nature hideaway!

The location was off the main drag just far enough into the jungle to see and hear all the animals right off of our deck but within easy reach of supermarkets restaurants and beach. We saw sloths, lizards, heard monkeys and some type of wild cat, it was such a neat experience.

This place it's like a piece of heaven, in just a few hours from the arrival we spotted so many animal. Our cabin was next to the water and during our stay we have seen: toucan, agoutis, squirrels, coatis, otters, a tarantula( we think) a green basilisk, turtles, green iguanas, honey bear(kinkajous)and hummingbirds. The host was very kind to point out animals that were around, like the toucan, kinkajous and the iguanas.

Peaceful and beautiful nature lodge.

Beautiful place immersed in the tropical jungle. Great hosts as well. My only suggestion is a water filter dispenser in a common area for people to get potable water. Other than that amazing!

Amazing place in the middle of the jungle

Amazing place in the middle of the jungle, you wake up in the morning with all the sounds of the animals, plenty of toucans, racoons and we had a lovely a lovely sloth climbing a tree just in front of our place. The owner is very nice and helpful

basic accommodation in stunning surroundings

the property is surrounded by the forest and you get to see lots of animals and plants. we watched a sloth really close to our veranda. the accommodation itself is very basic but has most of the essentials and comfortable. you can get breakfast at the property at $8pp and it’s basic (toast, jam, eggs, fruit and coffee/tea) but really nice.

You can watch sloths while eating breakfast from a hammock on a private terrace.

This was such a special place to stay. It is ten minutes’ drive from the vibrant town of puerto viejo but you feel like you are in the middle of the jungle. The hosts were very friendly and happy to show us the many animals that live around them including sloths, tree frogs and raccoons.

Great wooden lodge right in the jungle

Great secluded lodge in the jungle Very friendly hosts who gave us lots of great hints for animal watching and the highlights of the region. The nice wooden chalet was very comfortable. The shower was amazing: never had the option of showering cold and warm in the jungle before- awesome! We could hear howler monkeys in the morning and saw tucans and monkeys as well. If you get up early in the morning this spot is almost better for animal spotting than the national parks. The breakfast was also great: some fruit and bread with jelly as well as eggs, coffee and orange juice.

Lovely jungle lodge

Lovely cabin in the jungle with plenty of space. Sloths and howler monkeys just outside of the terrasse. Great place to stay to spot animals. Very nice hosts! It’s easy to take taxis to/from Puerto Viejo town (approx 5 USD each way) or go to restaurants on the main road.

Fantastic get away in the jungle allowing you to get real close to nature! Armadillos, raccoons, huge Lizzards and monkeys around the lodges. Magnificent experience!

The house/cabin was great. I loved the overall design. The kitchen was large and had all the necessary utensils. The deck had beautiful jungle views - it was a pleasure chilling out there. The owners were extremely friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended.

Nice jungle retreat close to town buzz and beaches

A jungle retreat, still a short drive (or bike ride) from beautiful beaches and the many nice restaurants of Puerto Viejo area. The lodge is rustic so do not expect a lot of modern amenities. But on the other hand you can spot sloths, monkeys etc on the trees just outside your balcony :) Not to mention the ducks, Maxim the dog and the visiting agoutis. Our wooden room was clean and very spacious and fitted perfectly the environment. Our hosts were very nice, clearly loving their surroundings, and with suggestions on what to visit, where to dine etc

Irene is really nice and brought us everyday new towels. She showed us animals and a slot. Good breakfast at her place. Nice but of course not luxury place but with everything you need. Feels also safe.
