to get started.

Loved the Iguanas, the hammocks, the staff and the pool, an island paradise in the rain forest

Ian, United Kingdom

The staff is very nice and helpful and you actually do not need to leave the property to see wildlife. The pool is also very cool.

Caio, Brazil

Great tourguides and tours. Great staff and very good service with a smile.

Ina,

The staff was outstanding down to the smallest detail. Special shout out to Priscilla.

Debra, Costa Rica

Wildlife literally on the doorstep with guides (Norton), who help you spot everything even in the dark. Staff who obviously enjoy working here are very keen to ensure that your stay is great. In all a very beautiful relaxed environment for doing as much or as little as you like. We did a lot and the turtles, monkeys, sloths and the tarpon ( thanks to Eddy) were very obliging!

Neil, United Kingdom

Location by the river is beautiful and rooms have dtunnjng views. Toucans, monkeys, giant iguanas and red poison dart frogs in the hotel grounds. We had two excellent tours: one to see turtles laying eggs and s boat tour in the morning where we saw plenty of wildlife. Lovely hotel.

Saeed, United Kingdom

It provided a really calm, understated, elegant retreat on the secluded banks of the river away from the small, rather shabby town. Staff provided the best attentive service we came across in Costa Rica, including their own informative guides for guided walks around their own nature reserve and for trip to watch giant green turtles laying their eggs on the beach a short hop across the river; where also lies the air strip in less than a minute's crossing by hotel boat; which also provides access to town. The restaurant provided good quality food & wine with a great little cocktail terrace too. Just watch for the iguanas that wander round the wonderful sculptured outdoor swimming pool. Lovely comfortable, teak furnished rooms to boot. A classy stay.

Tim, United Kingdom

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful resort. It is a very very special place. Everything about our experience there was 10 out of 10! The accommodation, the grounds, the view, the food and the team that works there. The kayak tour is amazing! So peaceful and we saw so much wildlife, a highlight of our trip for sure! Scenery is breathtaking! We felt so taken care of and will most definitely recommend staying there to anyone going to Costa Rica. The whole team was amazing! A special thank you to Manuel at the restaurant, Elvis our kayak guide and Carmen at reception. Thank you all for making my husbands & my trip so wonderfully memorable. Dan & Cherrie Deschenes

First Floor room had beautiful views of the grounds and the river. The staff couldn't have been more pleasant or more helpful. From reception to the gardener. Fabulous place to stay.

John, United Kingdom

What an incredible place! Fly from San Jose, plane lands across the river! Takes 30 minutes or 8 hours by bus and boat transfer! Fly! Worth whichever way you get there. Incredible flora and fauna. Wonderful food and genuinely caring staff.

눉In excursions, they could offer to take guests to volunteer to clean up trash on the beach where turtles nest. I think families, in particular, would be willing to pay $10-20 per person to participate in such an activity,and would feel good about helping with this huge problem.
눇The staff were extremely friendly and helpful.
