Property Notes

Recommended for adults, the property has easy access to their installments. The glamping or dome rooms are 1640 feet from the restaurant and reception. They require our specific transportation (check-in at 2:30, 5:30, or 7:30 p.m.) because the path is very steep and somewhat dangerous for inexperienced travelers. A deposit may be required at the property.

"Incredible location, especially if you enjoy birds."

9.0

Beautiful spot, friendly staff. The domo accommodations were very comfortable.

It was fine for us but it’s good to know that the 3.5 km gravel road up to the property is a bit rough.

"Conexión con la naturaleza y relajación máxima"

9.0

Es un lugar espectacular para relajarse y desconectarse del corre corre de la ciudad...

Podrían poner un poco de iluminación en el camino a la habitación y afuera de la misma. Adicional en la cabaña que nos quedamos, no había una mapara o cortina para la ducha, por lo que el agua se salía por todo el baño hasta la habitación, lo que nos incomodaba un poco. Adicional la cama no es demasiado confortable.

"Ein Muss für jeden der in Ruhe die Natur von Costa Rica erleben möchte."

10.0

Das Personal war unheimlich freundlich, bemüht und familiär. Wir haben uns dadurch sofort gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Das Restaurant war ebenfalls herausragend. Sehr frisches, qualitativ hochwertiges Essen zu einem mehr als fairen Preis und tollem Blick. Wir hatten eine Sky-Lodge (kein Kuppelzelt), wo die Aussicht nicht zu übertreffen war. Nachts unendlich viele Sterne und Glühwürmchen und am Tag viele Vögel und Jungle. Der Bungalow ist eher sporadisch eingerichtet, aber das ist auf den Bildern und in der Beschreibung zu erkennen. In der Region ist es nachts oft etwas kühler, es gibt keine Heizung aber dicke Decken daher aus unserer Sicht okay. Wenn man sich darauf einlässt bekommt man genau das was man bucht, in unseren Augen noch mehr wenn man das Gesamterlebnis betrachtet. Der Weg dorthin ist etwas holprig ein 4x4 ist nicht notwendig, aber von Vorteil (wie in ganz Costa Rica). Bei uns hat der Standort bei Google Maps nicht ganz gestimmt, achtet also unbedingt auf die Schilder die weisen euch den Weg. Und dieser lohnt sich - für uns genau das Richtige um mal 1-2 Tage aus dem Trubel in Costa Rica zu entfliehen.

Wie überall in Costa Rica gibt es leider keine Moskitonetze.

"Not worth the ride up the mountain unless you’re looking for solitude"

3.0

Rooms are very noisy when it rains. Pretty remote and the scary road up to resort on the rain

"Young adventures only"

7.0

Surrounded by trees in the heart of nature and near a river.

Lack of privacy at the domes. The outside bathroom is not practical, everyday electricity supply problems, there is no way to connect to the reception from the room, logistics to access the domes are precarious, being locked outside the dome is almost certain.

Small but clean rooms

Location was hard to get to. A 4 wheel drive vehicle is a must, no TVs in room , no AC
