Wonderful location! We enjoyed this uniquely located hotel with its minimalist accommodation and back-to-nature feel. Loved the kayaking, paddle boarding, and the kind and helpful staff! Food was delicious!

From the blue morph butterflies floating around the gardens to the local hostel crab who hangs out in the bathroom sink at night, this place was delightful. I’m not normally a jungle girl, and it’s been taking me a bit to ease into with the mosquito nets during my travels—but this so far is one place where my nerves just relaxed and I was able to breathe a bit. Tim and his family were incredibly welcoming and made me feel super comfortable as a solo traveler by giving me advice on how to join group trips and what to do around Rio Dulce. I was also so happy to learn that the owner was from my state, which made this extra homely as during that point of my trip I was feeling incredibly homesick. Tim and his family are beautiful souls. The vegan dinners at night were on point and incredibly delicious. Overall, This place has a very homely vibe, where if you wanted to sit and relax all day, you could. Like no need to leave the hostel really.
