It’s just like camping in nature but better and with activities. Awesome staff, guides cooks. Not for the faint of heart, it is an eco-lodge.

Torrey United States of America

Great experience, staff went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. Beautiful location and scenery.

Pamela Costa Rica

We had the time of our life. Amazing location, staff is very nice and accommodating. Monkeys, parrots, birds, coati.. all on our porch. Can’t wait to go back.

Svetlana Costa Rica

We loved the "Tiki hut" jungle experience - sitting on the deck and watching macaws eating beach almonds, monkeys scampering about, and falling asleep under mosquito net (surprisingly almost no bugs) listening to the frogs, cicadas and the sound of the surf. Corcovado n.p. is nearby (but need a guide), saw many birds and animals there and on the premises; beach was pleasant: great for walking, water was warm, waves fun and safe for swimming at low tide, beautiful sunrises and sunsets; mini-pool was perfect for a cool dip. Meals were fabulous, freshly prepared and served as buffet with lots of fresh fruit on one of three protected decks.

Susan United States of America

very personal and welcoming staff - good variety of food- off the charts in terms of off the grid experience!

Joel United States of America

Amazing location. Communicative and helpful owners. Friendly staff. Beautiful room. Good food, given remote location. New second bed in our room.

Diana United States of America

The location is perfect for bird and animal watching, and a good starting point for the national parc. Juan Carlos is a good cook, Antonio and Elias are good guide for jungle walks. And Milan and Louisa good hosts. We have had a wonderful time.

Peter Switzerland

It is a very special place...nearby Paradise because you are in zur middle of nowhere. Just amazing!

Monaurubamba Germany

Very Robinson Crusoe, jungle retreat up in the trees with beautiful ocean views, close to dramatic beach Very remote, open air living Food good, family cooking, camping style Great hiking into the rainforest from the premises, lots of wildlife especially scarlet macaws visiting the terrace Nice staff, very friendly and helpful, especially Andy

Anthony United Kingdom

  • We will be traveling in a rental car, can we reach the lodge with the car?

    Yes, you can take a taxi or rent a car (beware! 4x4 SUVs!) But the road goes through the jungle. You must carefully drive through 8 bridges and wade through 5 rivers! The road (45 km / 1.5 hours) is very unkempt, very bad, holes, potholes, etc. Best regards, Milan
