The hotel was located at the edge of the village with the jungle. I really liked the nature surrounding us amd the kind of birds and animals you could see while having breakfast! We also had one dinner there and it was rwally good. The facilities provided are really good and the price is very low. We knew where we chose to go and we were totally prepared for the situation there (since it's located next to the jungle there were some extra insects, which is totally normal) I would definitely choose it again and higly recommend it.

Very nice Hotel - the best you can imagine. Nice welcome, great staff, excellent bird watching at hotel terrace, clean and big room. Best thing: sloth Tour with Armando in a local forrest, we have seen 11 sloths in 1,5 hours. Also monkeys, leguans, ants, termites... For only 20$ per Person. All in all a perfect stay.

This place is absolutely amazing! first of all, the location is great and from the restaurant you get the best view of the volcano. it’s all you can wish for and more. the restaurant is great! food is really tasty. the best thing is that in the morning they feed the birds with bananas. so you will see all kinds of birds from up close and it’s a magical experience. we saw toucans! the staff is so friendly and the activities they offer are amazing. we went sloth watching with Armando and he is the best guide! 100% recommend. the room is spacious and clean and the beds are comfortable- don’t expect a 5 star hotel, but it’s perfectly sufficient for a traveler who doesn’t need a resort. would stay there again!

Friendly staff, good big room, everything is done to make you feel warmly welcomed.

we really enjoyed the views and the wildlife right on our doorstep! the staff was marvellous and the wee night walk through the property offered some mint surprises!

Amazing location Amazing staff Good breakfast Birds of all kinds basically almost sharing the breakfast area with you! Comfy beds Huge room Good value Quiet location

Nice hotel, near the center in a quiet road. Nice room very clean. The breakfast is served on a terrace and included an interesting birdwatching while eating the very good food at a reasonable price. The employee at the reception was polite and gave us useful information. The hotel gives some discounts for the main activities (like the hotspring) check them!

Extremely spacious room, very clean. Daily turnover service, which was nice! Great location, feels like you are in the jungle but only 5min walk from the city centre. The absolute highlight was the breakfast with a gorgeous view. We had bad weather but the staff hangs up bananas every day so you can see lots and lots of birds.

Very hospitable and welcoming, excellent facilities and perfect location. I was thankful for how our host showed us around our room and for now nice all the staff were. Everyone treated us very well and tolerated our lack of Spanish!

clean, lovely, scenery with derail and food fantastic
