The garden is breathtakingly beautiful, and the whole design of the accommodation is dreamlike. The room also included a small veranda with hammock and other amenities. Although the staff only communicate in Spanish, we easily managed everything, even the laundry, with the help of a translation program. Breakfast was delicious and hummingbirds fluttered in the greenery next to our table. Incredible experience!!! We loved it there so much that we were longing to go back when we checked out, so we went back to the restaurant of the lodge to eat when we went hiking that day. Unforgettable accommodation, I highly recommend it to everyone.

Our expectations were quite high, and the reality was even better! The lodge is perfectly located and spread in the middle of cloud forest. You get your private villa, each has its own privacy and fabulous views through the ceiling-to-floor windows. Yes, it is a bit of walk from the reception area, but that is the main magic there - the seclusion and privacy. I read here lots of negative reviews about the black bathrooms. I don’t understand why it is issue for you? And off course you are in the middle of a cloud forest where the humidity reaches 100%. I am sure that the staff is doing their best, but sometimes a bit of mould can appear (we did not notice it, but again it was mentioned in a review before). All facilities in the bathroom worked perfectly including hot water, so we had no problems. We very much appreciated that this resort is doing maximum to be eco friendly. They have their own special concept. You should take it as a Eco-lodge rather than classic resort. They also provide really great conditioner which helped a lot with my sun-damaged hair :-) Breakfast is a la carte and is very tasty. One morning we even ordered 1 extra portion and resort did not charge us for it. The onsite restaurant is opened for lunch and dinner (we didn’t try it). Within few minutes walk from the resort, there are 2 local restaurants + minimarket. Miriam’s restaurant is a must! We booked both arrival and departure transfers via Dantica and both worked perfectly. Driver was ontime and journey was smooth. We also booked the Quetzal tour via Dantica and it was well organized (for us, it was a bit of mass tourism, around 30 people chasing 4 quetzal birds, but we would never see these beautiful birds without the guide, so it was worth it). Every member of the staff were very nice to us and helpful, it was a real pleasure to stay there. It is one of a kind experience. Don’t hesitate to book this wonderful place.

Comfortable, clean and location was great for me. Staff friendly and competent. 2 pools, laundry facilities and large workout facility. I have stayed here 3 separate visits and it is very consistent. Well stocked kitchens. Breakfast included, coffee and water always available in the lobby. They have added a limited bar menu in the evenings, which I didn't try. Many restaurants in walking distance.

I absolutely loved the French touches, the charm, the beautiful decor and the room was huge! This is also a pet friendly hotel and our dog was welcome. We loved the layout, that there are games and books to borrow as well. Also love that they offer breakfast, although we didn’t get a chance to try it since we had to leave at 5am.

This is a private little cabin to yourself in a very tranquil and quiet location. I appreciated having kitchen facilities for the price and there was a washing machine ! Super nice people. No English but we managed just fine. Lovely patio. Coffee in the kitchen. Friendly neighbourhood dogs. The home was nicely decorated and sparkly clean.
