“Very calm, authentic and in nature”
It feels like you are staying inside the jungle it’s really great, I had the whole lodge to myself, I slept really well, Elise the one managing the property was super sweet. It’s very calm and it feels authentic. Also the location is great, pretty close to Santa Teresa without having the craziness of the town. Also the beaches in Malpaìs are sooo nice and with way less people

Really lovely place to stay, 5 minute walk to the beach, nice and clean and very peaceful. The lady who owns it was so nice and made us feel super welcome. The pool was perfect and just outside our room, plus the whole place is surrounded by wildlife.

“Not as advertised. Not going back. Not recommended.”
The room was not as advertised. We booked a quad room assuming that meant we had the whole room. Really it was two beds in a shared 4-bed dorm. This should be fixed on the Booking website. There was no fan, my mattress was wiry, my pillow was lumpy, my mosquito net had numerous holes and barely fit the bed. No towels are provided. WiFi was only accessible in the common area not in the room. There are only two bathrooms for 20 people to share. The people staying there were pretty friendly. Most seem to be staying there for a long time so they had nicer beds.
