Guest Reviews
- Iris (9/5): -
- Martina (10/5): Eine Oase zum Entspannen - Schöne Bungalows inmitten eines traumhaften Gartens. Restaurant sehr gut und abwechslungsreich, sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter. Viele Tiere auch im Hotelgarten. Klare Empfehlung für Region Dominical.
- Camille (10/5): - Tout ! RAS
- Bryan (10/5): Una encantadora celebración de cumpleaños! - Me gusto este alojamiento, es perfecto para escaparse y descansar un poco, Reservé en este alojamiento para celebrar el cumpleaños de mi pareja, ella y yo nos fuimos encantados de la atención que nos dieron, el alojamiento le preparó una hermosa sorpresa a ella que la hizo muy feliz. El desayuno estaba delicioso nos encantó, el restaurante estaba muy lindo, cálido y un ambiente muy acogedor, decidimos cenar en el lugar y fue la mejor elección, estuvo muy rica la cena y el personal muy encantador! Quedamos totalmente satisfechos con nuestra estadía. Todo estuvo excelente!
- Cesar (9/5): Súper recomendado - Desayuno excelente y perfecta ubicación a cualquier playa del sur Todo excelente
- Silvana (10/5): -
- Nicky (9/5): Leuk hotel - Mooi opgezet hotel met ala carte ontbijt. 2 zwembaden. Keurig schoon. Ligt iets verder van het strand en de restaurantjes maar met uber of auto goed te doen. Je kan ook lopen. Ik had zelf een huisje geboekt vooraan. Deze lag alleen niet in het bos maar bij de parkeerplaats jammer.
- Raul (8/5): Satisfactoria - La distribución de las habitaciones, las picinas y restaurante La ubicación del Hotel
- Caroline (9/5): - La grande piscine L infrastructure La grandeur des bungalows La gentillesse du personnel Le resto
- david (9/5): - Tout

- Navarro (10/5): very relaxing and comfortable - The pool is excellent and the breakfast very good nothing, everything was good
- Helena (10/5): Pleasant comfortable convenient - Good size suite. Porch, jungle sounds birds, excellent restaurant onsite 2 pools. One a lap pool. Very comfortable Nothing
- Krystelle (10/5): - Très belle et confortable chambre. Tres bel établissement et bien entretenu. Chouette petite balade à faire dans la jungle. La situation est top ! Surtout par rapport au restaurants Dommage qu’il n’y ai pas vraiment d’option végétariennes au restaurant le soir. Le petit déjeuner n’était pas incroyable.
- Gonzalo (10/5): - Me gustó que el hotel tiene muchas áreas verdes y bien cuidadas Ofrecen apoyo para subir el equipaje hasta la habitación Está ubicado en una zona silenciosa perfecta para relajarse El personal fue muy amable También tiene TV por cable para los que valoran terminar el día viendo una película Tienen varias opciones para el desayuno Deberían renovar los dispensadores de jabón del baño, para que sean acordes a la calidad de las habitaciones También me parece necesario que incluyan extractores de aire en los baños de las habitaciones, la ventana no es suficiente para una adecuada ventilación
- Jacquelin (8/5): Bien -
- Sven (6/5): OK stay but would not come back. - The breakfast was nice. Every in the bungalows is old and I don’t know how they got the sustainability certificate, if they allow guests to run their a/c 24/7.
- Anneke (9/5): - Heerlijk zwembad, goede kwaliteit eten en prachtige sfeervolle tuin. Het is een wat grotere locatie.
- Noel Middleton (9/5): - Lovely pool, excellent facilities, friendly staff lovely location amongst the trees with wildlife all around us. Nothing
- Cathrine (9/5): -
- Bronwyn (10/5): - The gardens and the birds
- Edith (9/5): -
- Adriana (10/5): Love the location! Love the trekking trail and yoga deck (facing nature). Pet friendly. - Beautiful and clean pools. Clean rooms and cozy. Great breakfast and dinner. Great bread in both meals. Disability-friendly infraestructure, as long as the stay is at the villas down the hill, near reception, restaurant and pools. The villas up in the hill, close to the mountain have the best jungle experience. Loved them! The chlorine from cleaning the bathroom was way too strong for few minutes after cleaning. We had to leave the door open for a while for the odor to go away.
- Hellen (9/5): Relax - Restaurante no cumplió con mis espectativas No había gran variedad de comida costarricense
- Manuela (7/5): -
- Anja Mad. (9/5): - Extrem ruhig gelegen, schöner Garten und toller Pool zum Schwimmen. Sehr bequeme Betten. Leckeres Frühstück. Genpgend Parkplätze. Zimmer Eäetwas in die Jahre gekommen. Beim Frühstück Kaffee etwas wässrig und Saft nicht aus frischem Obst.
- Jan (8/5): -
- Noëlle (9/5): - Les piscines très agréables, le jardin, les bungalows très bien disposés dans la nature. Le restaurant avec de bons plats et un superbe petit-déjeuner à la carte. Rien

- Manuela (8/5): - Wir hatten zwei verschiedene Zimmer, die beide sauber, geräumig und groß waren. Die Zimmer sind in kleinen Bungalows angeordnet, die über das gesamte Gelände verteilt sind. Es gibt eine sehr schöne Poolanlage, die aber auch sehr gut besucht war. Zeitweise ist es recht laut. Das Essen im Restaurant hat uns gut geschmeckt, die Poolbar fanden wir auch sehr schön. Die Frühstücksauswahl war für mich sehr begrenzt, da ich keine Eierspeisen esse. Das ist dann wohl mein persönliches Problem.
- MARLEN SUSANA (10/5): - Naturaleza, permite máscotas, piscina Nada
- Leandro (10/5): -
- Nina (8/5): Erholsam, ruhig und schön - Der Garten, die Lage und das nette Personal Zimmer einfach und Betten etwas abgenutzt. Poolliegen extrem unbequem, kein Frühstücksbuffet, Auswahl des Frühstückbuffets nicht für mich passend
- GOGIC (10/5): - Superbe pour tout. On a adoré, on y reviendra
- Denis (10/5): -
- Kris (10/5): - We love the garden setting of the accommodation and the fragrance of ylang-ylang as we ate at the lovely restaurant, open to all the sights and sounds of the surrounding greenery and wildlife. Everything was perfect for our overnight stay. N/a
- Etchegorry (9/5): - Me encanto todo! Super limpio, ordenado, bien estético y buen servicio! Me prece que faltaban ofertas de desayuno saludables y ademas creo que el restaurante debe brindar servicio a las habitaciones, que a menos en mi caso no me respondieron ;)
- Stephanie (7/5): -
- Natalia (10/5): - La tranquilidad con la que se puede dormir.
- Elioth (10/5): -
- Roger (9/5): RECARGAR BATERIAS EN UN LUGAR MARAVILLOSO - LA HABITACION, EL AREA PICINAS Y LA NATURALEZA, EL SERVICIO RECEPCION FUE MUY BUENO, ASI COMO AMABILIDAD DE COLABORADORES ME FALTO EN VARIEDAD DE COMIDA EN RESTAURANTE TALVEZ AGREGAR COMIDAS RAPIDA

- Erika (10/5): Espectacular - Lugar en general, el servicio y las personas que trabajan ahí. El ceviche de la cena
- christophe (10/5): Magnifique hôtel dans le cadre idyllique et verdoyant - Magnifique Hotel, dans un cadre verdoyant et luxuriant Les deux Piscines sont magnifiques Nous avions la la seule chambre, non mitoyenne du complexe avec une terrasse extraordinaire. Vraiment une chambre de rêve. Le petit déjeuner était délicieux. Le restaurant est aussi très bien. Accueil, chaleureux et professionnel à l’hôtel Rien
- Etheve (9/5): -
- Theresa (10/5): Beautiful grounds and room - Such a great place to stay. The grounds are gorgeous - beautiful sights and sounds. Huge room with great private verandah which even had a hammock. The onsite restaurant was also superb. The hotel is popular with small tour groups which is easy to see why. Everything is immaculate and the pool is wonderful. There just needs to be a few more loungers/ sitting out areas near the pool.
- Ross (7/5): Pleasant roadside stop for 2 night - Pleasant, reasonably comfortable but slightly cramped rooms. Nice pool and staff were helpful. Good accessibility Slightly shabby lodges
- Lizzie (10/5): Lovely place was sad to leave - Beautiful garden, villa and pool. Food was very good.
- Celine (8/5): Rustgevende en mooie omgeving en vriendelijke service. - Het was proper, comfortabele bedden en mooie omgeving.

- Elke (9/5): -
- fonseca villegas (10/5): -
- Emilie (10/5): Féerique - Un excellent rapport qualité prix ! Le parc autour des chambres est extraordinaire! C'est une plongée dans le féerique. Entre plantes tropicales, toucans, iguanes et autres oiseaux, on s'en prend plein les yeux. La literie est très confortable et la taille des lits est XL. Le restaurant est divin et délicieusement accessible aux végétariens. Je recommande ! Rien
- laurent (9/5): -
- Ana Isabel (8/5): - El entorno
- mickael (10/5): -
- Victor (8/5): Comfortable and clean in a lovely place - Really comfortable with fridge, safe etc in room . Lovely location though directions to the hotel were awful but we managed to find it. Dimmer in the Crocodile Grill restaurant was pretty good and not a bad price. It was all good (except directions) and the breakfast was quite small and not the best that we had in Costa Rica at all.
- alexia (7/5): DÉCEVANT - Jardins du parc très beaux et bien entretenus. Terrasse du logement agréable Nous avions un logement sur le parking, juste à côté des terrains de picketball : un enfer !!! On entend les gens jouer et crier !! De plus bruits de la clim du restaurant !! Grosse déception sur notre logement ! La cuisine n'est pas équipée : pas de couverts, aucune assiette. Musique très forte à la piscine !!
- Graciela (10/5): - Buena ubicación, puedes ir caminando al pueblecito unos 15 minutos andando. El área de la piscina y el bar es perfecta para relajarte. Todo bien en la habitación, mucha fauna por las zonas comunes del hotel.
- Alberto (8/5): Un lugar con una energia interesante! - la comida estuvo muy bien! en la habitacion habia un olor como encerrado no se si por los drenajes, luego de eso talvez las cortinas no tapaban la totalidad de la ventana por lo que habia que tener un poco de cuidado
- Sue (9/5): Fantastic stay - Lovely resort - two pools, big bar, pretty tropical grounds, really nice big room. Staff were really friendly and helpful. All the food was very tasty, quickly and well cooked and menus were varied.
- Victoria (10/5): -
- Andres (9/5): exc - hermosa pisina Desayuno delicioso restaurant lindo y ricas cervezas artesanales
- Esteban (10/5): -
- Tina (10/5): In één woord fantastisch - De ruime ligging met een prachtige tuin -
- Simona (5/5): Eher 2 Sterne Hotel, Preis zu hoch - Lage mitten im Dschungel , jedoch die Strasse dorthin in schlechten Zustand, nur Schotter und viele Löcher Mangelnde Sauberkeit , Stromausfälle, Frühstück nicht gut
- Moellenkamp (10/5): Beautiful place to stay in Dominical/Dominicalito area. - We loved the whole hotel, rooms grounds, beds, bathrooms, pool area and restaurant. Waking up to the sound of birds was great. We would stay again. Screaming children at the pool but not much the staff can do, that is the fault of the parents allowing it. The only thing the staff maybe could've done is politely mention to the parents that other guests are there for the peace and quiet, to relax.
- Maria (9/5): Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Man kann sich richtig schön entspannen und erholen. - Die einzelnen (d.h.immer 4) großen Zimmer mit Terrasse liegen in einem wunderschönen Park. Nicht am Meer. Ist aber nicht weit weg (Auto). Dafür gibt es einen großen wohltemperierten Pool. Kann man Essen und Getränke bestellen Die waren sehr gut. Auch das Abendessen war sehr gut. Leider, leider war das Frühstück schlecht. Keine Früchte vorher. Speck ganz labberig. Tortilla dazu wie Schuhsohle. Costericense Frühstück. Lieben wir sonst sehr. Aber da alle sehr bemüht sind auch alles immer zu verbessern kriegen sie das vielleicht ja auch hin. Kaffee war gut.
- Sándor (5/5): Nem éreztem korrektnek az ár és minőség arányát. - Szép parkkal rendelkezik. Elegendő parkoló állt rendelkezésre. Elhasznált. A bútorok, a berendezési tárgyak, az épületek és járdák, a medencék minősége és állapota lényegesen gyengébb, mint amit az ár alapján vártam.
- Roskelley (10/5): -
- Elena (10/5): A great place to reset in a beautiful setting, surrounded by toucans iguanas a two good sized pools. - Beautiful gardens, so many birds and wildlife. Also great to have a lanes pool, and beds were very comfy. More vegetarian friendly meals on the menu but the food was great.
- Patrick (9/5): Chambres dans un superbe parc fleuri - Très bel endroit. Chambres très spacieuses et confortables. Beau choix de petits déjeuners. Piscines +++ Rien
