Chalés alpinos em Isla Violin

What a great spot. Literally in the middle of the mangroves. No WiFi, no phone signal, no road noise, no street lights, electricity is solar so no modern conveniences, totally peaceful. Giovanni and his family are so lovely. I missed the share boat from sierpe so paid the €60 ($30 per person) for Giovanni to come get me and it was worth it, he threw in a mini wildlife tour in the mangroves for me, making the 30 min journey into 1.5 hours and me getting to see lots of wildlife (he is very passionate and knowledgable having lived here his whole life, even if you don't stay book a mangrove tour with him) Rosa prepares the best (and biggest) meals I have had in Costa Rica. They catered for me being a vegetarian and unlike most other places I have stayed (rice and beans with veg) put a real effort into making tasty, nourishing and fresh meals. The trail to the beach is a tough 3km hike over the mountain, not like your national park trails, a proper jungle trail (boots and long trousers advised) and wow what a magnificent beach all to one's self... I have travelled all other the place and I've never been to a place so peaceful... A true tropical paradise. If you stay anywhere in Costa Rica, give up your mod- cons and get truley back to nature at isla violin eco Lodge it will probably be the best experience of your holiday!

We can highly recommend staying at Sabalo Lodge. Anouk and Kevin were amazing hosts and we felt always very welcomed and taken care of. Breakfast and Dinner were great, Kevin is a great chef and especially his tuna tartar and beef were amazing. The surrounding is wonderful - jungle life a lots of animals and we took the chance to use the canoes they provide for free. We didn't need to take care about bookings for sightseeing. Anouk and Kevin arranged that for us and we had a great experience with the night boat tour in the mangroves or the tour to Corcovado. Even when we returned to our car, which we left in Sierpe, we had a chance to do a mangrove tour seeing a lot of animals. their captain Melvin found every animal even if they were hiding and took us close to them. We will definitely come back when visiting Costa Rica again.
