The apartment is beautiful and is fully equipped! Beautiful garden with different plants and toucans visiting. The kitchen is nice and features everything you need. There were two double beds. One quite hard and the other softer :) we didn't try the bunk bed. The shower is very beautiful and has warm water!! The washing machine is great! It isn't a standard washer and dryer but it works! The dryer works by just spinning the clothes. After that they really don't need too long to dry. It would be worth it to take a longer stay here and drive to the arenal for example. (~1:30h drive)

We loved everything about this property. The location is easy to find yet secluded . The property is beautiful. We had a nice bottle of wine waiting for us. We sat on the balcony and bird watched with a glass of wine. Our 14 year old loved it as well. Beautifully decorated and had everything you need. The property was extremely clean and the host was fantastic. She even notified us right away when we left something behind. It was super fun to listen to the Howler monkeys at dusk and dawn . The extra details were really nice .

We were in the private room, which was very clean, comfortable and has its own attached bathroom. Breakfast was delicious and the hosts are so kind and willing to help their guests. There was a nail in the tire of our rental car and Wilfredo accompanied us to the repair shop to get it fixed since our Spanish is not great - we would have struggled without his help! We only stayed one night but everything was perfect and we would have happily stayed longer. Cash payment but they accept either USD or CRC.

    The view was amazing. I loved laying on the hammock outside. Staff were so accommodating. We set a time with them when we would meet, but we ended up texting them 2 times to push our check on time later. So much to see in the area Great location to the park and this wonderful, beautiful restaurant , it seemed was out in the middle of no where. The coolest restaurant I have ever seen.

    Since we were in the low season, no food was available on place. Thanks to Tetiana and Mikhael, they helped us find solutions and we were satisfied. The location has great potential, lots of pools and the river, simply wow! Sauna was very appreciated. Lots of bird watching to do, sounds of them when waking up is very soothing. Garden and paths across are wonderful.

    The location is great, close to the National park, set in beautiful gardens. Elias was there to meet us and was very friendly and helpful. We had a delicious dinner in his lovely mum’s restaurant.
