“Ok but not very clean”
The shower was good although it didn't drain well at all. The hammock was a nice touch. Only met one young lady on the desk the whole time we stayed there. When we found the beach and walked up the to the cove ( about 40 mins), we found the best beach with fantastic swimming and views. Along the road about 20 mins was a super market. A good pizza place at the top of the track and a soda. Saw howler monkeys 🐒

“I love it!!!”
This place is wonderful, very reasonably priced. The casitas are cozy and simple, Caribbean-style. The staff was very friendly. The location is perfect, just steps from Playa Chiquita and minutes from Puerto Viejo and Cocles, but away from the hustle and bustle of the crowds, which gave us a lot of peace and happiness. In front of the casitas, we had the honor of seeing a hummingbird nesting, as well as many other species of birds and monkeys. There's also parking. We liked everything about it. If you're looking for a basic place surrounded by gardens and nature, this is your place.

Cabin was great, clean and in an amazing garden. William was very helpful and gave us amazing tips for local food options, animal spotting, and beaches. He made us feel at home :)

The manager of the structure was very nice and helpful and we enjoyed the music they organized in the evening. The beds are confortable. The accomodation is in a very good position (5 minutes drive from punta uva,that is the best beach in the area)

“Warm, peaceful, pet friendly, close to a beautiful beach!”
Bungalows are near from a paradise beach call Playa Chiquita, you can walk from the hotel without taking your car out of the parking. The kitchen is fully equipped. Beds are comfortable. They are pet friendly and our pet had a great time in there.

“Relaxing romantic hideaway”
Awesome accommodations. Private, quiet, lots of plants around the property. We could hear birds and monkeys in the morning. Romantic, relaxing setting. We would definitely return and also recommend.

For me the Caribbean coast is the most beautiful area in Costa Rica. Especially the beaches are just stunning! The accommodation had everything I needed but not more. It is fine but don't expect too much. The people working there were nice and helpful. To the closest beach it's a 10 minute walk.

Houses are in a dense vegetation of tropical plants so you do not sense that you are really close together with your neighbours. Friendly staff, they dried our clothes because humidity is so high nothing dries in the air. They cleaned the floor on additional request without hesitation. Lots of animals live in the vegetation, so it's nice to wake up at the sound of birds.

“This place is colourful in every way and in easy reach of everything you would need.”
Everything about this place is magical and the staff are the best. They made me feel very special, William went beyond his call of duty to ensure I was safe and well looked after. The quaint casitas are nestled in the most beautiful gardens with a hammock to relax in on your own private porch. Everything is well thought out and clean. Hiring a bike is a fabulous way to get around. Chiquita beach is a 5 minute walk away and in my opinion was the best stretch of beach with the jungle creating shade close to the waters edge. I had many a fantastic walks along the beaches there. Everything you would need is in close proximity even Peurto Viejo town is only a 20 minute cycle on quiet roads.

A beautiful little oasis on the Caribbean coast. The typical Caribbean bungalows are surrounded by nature: In the morning you are woken up by monkeys and a hummingbird greets you at breakfast. The bungalows have a nice terrace where you can eat your meals (kitchen is available) or relax in the hammock. The very nice beach area is a few minutes walk away.
