We would never stay or recommend this hotel ever.

This hotel upon arriving looks lovely as it has well maintained grounds. The young staff were friendly.

If you’re visiting Sarapiquí, this is the place to stay. The property is absolutely stunning, with beautifully maintained grounds and trails leading through the forest all the way to the river. Along the way, we spotted toucans, iguanas, and even poison dart frogs – an unforgettable experience. Everything is spotless and clearly run with great care and attention to detail. What stood out most, though, was the exceptional hospitality – we felt genuinely cared for throughout our entire stay. The team also helped us organize our activities and fully tailored everything to our needs. Our room was simple and practical, yet very comfortable. It had air conditioning, a fridge, and a coffee maker, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The pool was clean, beautiful, and perfect for relaxing. The breakfast is prepared with love, and all the food was outstanding. Our 6-year-old even said these were the best fries she has ever had! We truly hope to come back one day.

Superb hosts in a wonderful setting

The accommodation is rustic and fairly basic but the location is fantastic and the staff couldn't be more helpful. They even looked after our 9 year old daughter one evening to enable us to go on a night tour. You are surrounded by so many birds it is a delight from the first moment each day. The breakfast is very good and the staff will organise tours for you and give you good recommendations. The pool is a treat too and you can watch all types of birds flying around while you take a dip. We loved this place. It isn't high end luxury, but that's not what we are visiting for - we would rather avoid the crowds and be immersed in this wildlife haven.

Gloriously situated hotel with comfy rooms but service could have been better.

We felt very much at home throughout our 4 night stay. It was a pleasure to be in such b

The location is perfect with an extensive set of well maintained trails for exploring the nature/wild life in this part of Costa Rica. We ate at the restaurant every evening and sampled some of the best of Costa Rican cooking. The "team" did everything to help us during our stay for example: arranging tours and taxis. Nothing was too much. We would especially like to mention Claudia in this regard.

Ok

Breakfast was just ok. Good birding and the recommended boat trip was fantastic. Resident Howler Monkeys were very vocal. Upstairs bar was cool. Pool was good except for 1 thing.

Great budget hotel with lovely gardens and great staff

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The gardens are beautiful and attract lots of beautiful birds and wildlife. The property has walking trails in the trees. It is away from the busy and noisy main roads of Sarapiqui. The breakfast is very tasty. There's a coffee maker in the room The grounds are well maintained

Fantastic location and wonderful staff

Best thing was the wonderful staff, friendly and helpful, also pointing out nature points. We had dinner at the hotel and it was excellent, as were the juices. We enjoyed the trails around the property and the pool.

Would not stay in rooms again. Would visit for lunch and gardens. But mind the cameras.

The garden is truly beautiful, the trails and pool are really enjoyable and we saw many animals. The food, drinks and staff at the reception and restaurants are great. Really friendly and they make sure you have a pleasant stay.
