A warm welcome, exceptional location, great staff, awesome possibilities of tours.

Wonderful place to relax far away from the world. perfectly embedded in nature, tasteful, comfortable, cozy. helpful staff

The location was incredible the food was great, everything was great

We visited Nicuesa because of its location, the opportunity to see wildlife and the commitment to sustainability. It delivered in all of these areas: we will never forget the boat ride to the hotel (it felt like being the first people to discover a new country) and the relaxation we felt from being so isolated and immersed in nature. The food exceeded our expectations and we were very well looked after by the kitchen staff. The guide who took us on a hike was very knowledgeable and friendly. It's nice that you can take paddle boards and kayaks out for free. The beach is raw nature but incredible. We watched sunrise and sunset every day during out stay, and couldn't believe how magical it was. Room cleaning was great. The yoga instructor and masseuse was lovely - really friendly, knowledgeable and personable.

Die Lage mitten im Dschungel ist unschlagbar und man hat auch einen kleinen Privatstrand. Man kann sehr tolle Touren machen in denen man u.a. Delfine, Krokodile und Affen sieht. Das Personal ist super freundlich und kümmert sich um alles.

Für Naturliebhaber ist dieser Ort etwas ganz Besonderes! Mitten im Regenwald und dem Golfo Dulce, wo sich die Delphine und manchmal Wale tummeln, weit weg von den Haupttourismusrouten. Extrem freundliches und zuvorkommendes Personal und köstliches Essen, ganz tolle Touren mit professionellen und engagierten Guides werden angeboten. Wir wollen unbedingt wieder dorthin.

Super Lage im Regenwald und zugleich am Meer. Das Hotel hat uns per Boot in Golfito abgeholt. Bereits die 20min. Fahrt per Boot war schön. Die Lodge liegt direkt am Meer und am Fuss des Regenwaldes. Das Personal war sehr, sehr freundlich, das Essen sehr gut und die Zimmer im ersten Stock inmitten des Regenwaldes super schön. Wir haben zwei Affenarten und diverse Vögel gesehen. Die Lodge hat das schönste Yoga Deck direkt am Strand. Monica unsere Yogalehrerin war top! Danke für diesen tollen Aufenthalt.

Sehr schöne Unterkunft, Alleinlage auf einer Insel mit Meerzugang, sowie Möglichkeiten selbständig Trails zu gehen, die wir gerne nutzten, da sie sehr schön waren. Schnorcheln und Kajak fahren wird ebenso angeboten. Sehr gute Unterstützung bei der Anfahrt (Parkmöglichkeit für unser Auto) sowie Überfahrt zur Insel.

Diese Lodge ist einfach ein Traum, wer es mag mitten in die Natur ein zu tauchen! Das Essen ist phantastisch , frisch zubereitet, das Pardons außerordentlich herzlich und die Touren werden individuell für einen geplant! Wir haben die Tage sehr genossen und würden jederzeit wieder buchen.
