Closed Down!
We didn't even get to stay there because it was closed! We paid for and booked in advance, got the email for check in which state was from 7 am- 9 pm. Got there at 5 pm and everything was closed. Reception was locked with a sign that said they would be back. There was a number on the door which we called and no answer. We tried messaging but got nothing. We stayed for an hour and no one came so we finally had to go find a new place to stay last minute which cost us a lot and was very frustrating. We finally were contacted later at 9 pm when we already had a place. We asked for a refund and they refused. Very disappointed.

Excellent for a family stay
One of the best places we have stayed in Costa Rica. Large open apaces for the children to run around in, a beautiful river to dip in, a pristine football pitch and very comfortable family rooms with a ery well-appointed kitchen! Credit also to Elias for great communication and a warm welcome. 👍😉

This place is truly a hidden gem. The property has so much to do and is so beautiful. We spent an afternoon in the river being the property. It was so fun.
Also Elias was very responsive to any questions or requests.

Our room overlooked the river. We had fireflys at night, chamelions in the day and real peace and quiet. There is everythng you could need pools fed by the river, trails through the grounds, kitchens barbeques all in good condition. Easy to get to on a good road and close enough to town.

Our room was nice and clean and we had a beautiful view out of our bedroom window and off of our balcony. There was a river that runs right behind the rooms, it was great listening to that a night. It was great sitting out on our balcony, the balcony is compact though. The little kitchen was nice and suited our needs just fine.
Unfortunately the pool was not working while we were there, but it was to cool and it was raining the whole time so we wouldn't have used it anyway.

Host was a family and very friendly and helpful. Property was beautiful. We did have a leak during rain but host was quick to respond and bring towels. We also had a dog barking during the night from next door property but host offered to contact neighbors. Would stay here again. Very neat and unique property.

The property was lovely & the rooms were fine; however we had no hot water in the shower for the 2 nights we were there. We spoke to the reception person the morning of our second stay and were assured the problem had been solved. However we had no hot water for our second night either.

We enjoyed our stay. Our room which was number 3 seemed to have mold and smelled like bug spray. We didn’t use any of the amenities but it looked pretty nice.

Preiswerte Unterkunft mit charmanten Mängeln.
Der Gastgeber hat sich viel Zeit genommen für die Einweisung (zuviel). Als meine Frau eine Massage buchen wollte, kam seinerseits nichts mehr zurück. Vielleicht hatte er zuviel um die Ohren. Klimaanlage tropft und das Mobiliar ist alt. Trotzdem hat die Unterkunft viel Charme und ist sehr preiswert!

Lloc molt agradable i bonic
Les habitacions son senzilles pero confortables. Els llits son cómodes. El soroll del riu que passa just al devant se sent bastant fort pero no va representar-nos un problema per dormir. Hi ha molt mala cobertura de mobil en la zona pero el WIFI funciona molt be

Mala relación precio-calidad
Hotel incómodo y con muchos desperfectos, las remaras tienen cortinas casi transparentes que dejan entrar mucha luz, el baño super pequeño y no respetan las horas de silencio, música hasta altas horas de mañana. Básico y ruidoso
