Clean, spacious room with consistent hot water. A beautiful hammock area to relax overlooking the garden with hummingbirds, Agouti and the occasional toucan if you're lucky. A short walk (2 mins) to town with plenty of places to eat and drink. The owner was super helpful explaining things to do in the area and offering to help with taxis and bookings. He very kindly drove me to the airport at 4 am. Breakfast was great with fresh fruit, juice, eggs, tea/coffee and warm bread.

Absolutely stunning place, we absolutely loved our time here. The highlight was the garden which you could overlook and watch Tucans, hummingbirds, and various other fantastic animals like guatusa calming hanging out.

A few blocks away from town center so we could enjoy the bird viewing. Hammocks in a covered loft, good breakfasts.

Lovely lodge style accommodation with comfy bed. I had a terraced room which was nice. Made good use of hammoks. Loved watching the birds in the garden, especially during the lovely breakfast. Good location and easy to get around town.

Nothing I can think of.

Holzhaus in nachhaltiger Bauweise. Zimmer und Bad waren sauber und großzügig.

Da die Zimmer nur mit Brettern abgetrennt sind (auch Böden und Decken) ist es sehr hellhörig. Man hat Glück wenn der Nachbar nicht schnarcht
