    Tv in the room, but wifi service very poor so it didn’t really work.

    We stayed in a little cabin, very clean, slightly odd bathroom, but everything worked, and it was very cozy.

    Lovely glamping

    You need to deal with insects, but that's nature..

    The location itself is a destination! We slept in a transparent glamping, it was stunning (you can admire a sky full of stars in the night and the sunrise will wake you up). Nature and colors look in HR. Amazing! We woke up with sunrise lights, the glamping has a transparent roof, but it's part of the game. The hotel is pretty far from the main road but easy to reach through a feasible unpaved road (we didn't have a 4*4).

    The room was a little rustic, with no provision to hang clothing. There was a small couch, but it was very low to the floor.

    We both had the "typico" breakfast, and were more than happy. This property is very quiet, away from main roads - surrounded by mountains and farmland. This might be too remote for some people, but a perfect setting for us. The staff were very friendly and helpful, yet professional.

    There is nothing to dislike. The climate is cool so be sure to bring a warm jacket or sweater.

    The hotel is situated in a beautiful rural setting , surrounded by abundant green pastures. The cabins and glamping tents are all separated from one another so there is great privacy. It is a family run business and each of them is very personable and so willing to explain things about the surroundings. Meals were delicious, including an abundant breakfast.

    There were a few bugs in the room, which is understandable given the area. Also we didn't realize that the short hike adjacent to the property you have to pay to go on, seems like it should be free with the stay. These are minor issues though and we still liked the stay enough to give it a 10

    Great place, very beautiful! We had a lovely time. Great breakfast, friendly and helpful staff. Gorgeous area. Went horseback riding and did a cow milking tour.

    The wind at night makes a lot of noise when swaying the trees over the dome (and the morning sun has no option but to shine in through the transparent roof), but very minor complaints overall :)

    Wow, this location was gorgeous and far more beautiful than we could've expected. Overall a fantastic value; we were impressed at how affordable not only the room was, but also the hotel restaurant. This was one of the most relaxing and tranquil locations we've ever been to, and the staff were all so kind and helpful. Highly recommend!

    very nice personnel. It is the family itself who works there. The food was really good. I could ask what ever I wanted to know, and they helped me every time being very friendly. I loved “my little house” with two floors, situated next to the entrance of the park. Waterfalls close. I saw the footprint of a puma. A very quiet an relaxing place, pure tranquilit.

    The cottage we stayed in works best for a single person, or a couple. The room upstairs was so tiny and difficult to access, my 5 foot 10 inch tall son could not go up the tinny stairs; really meant for a child.

    The food and service were exceptional. The staff were top rate. The location, out of this world. I took my son and fiancée up for the day, and once there they were "bummed" we had to move on. The architectural design for the main lodge, restaurant, is simply captivating, and the cabins are spread out over a huge area providing excellent privacy. We had the local cat and dog, and yes, even the most adorable Jersey cow from their dairy farm, stop by our cottage for some love. Surreal. But remember: Costa Rica is a work out. Get in shape before you attempt any hiking here. This place, the hikes in the adjacent Castro Blanco Reserve is not for wimps, especially the cascades, and the Platanar Volcano hikes.

    It's a 10 minute drive on rough road up to the hotel and from the hotel, so make sure your tires are strong and thick.

    This was a beautiful location where you can truly enjoy the nature and the fresh air. You can see the Arenal volcano from the patio while having breakfast. The pets, Luna and Kitti, were so friendly and made us feel at home. The hiking path behind the hotel was exciting and scary at the same time. The town close-by, Ciudad Quesada was very convenient, drinks and food were non-tourist prices and people were very friendly.
