Guest Reviews

Prof. Dr. Uwe C. (10/5): -
Steven (9/5): - The staff was warm and attentive, friendly, polite. Great breakfast, the pool is attractive, clean. The gardens are beautiful - birds, flowers, butterflies. The mattress was the firmest mattress I have ever slept on. The bedsheets were clean but there was no bedding beyond the two sheets. I would have been comfortable with some sort of additional cover. I used a sarong which was good enough.
loaiza brenes (9/5): Acogedor y relajante. - La experiencia natural y las habilidades 😍🥳 Mayor seguridad. Niños en la piscina de adultos y algunos sin supervisión. Me gustaría que si es de adultos fuera de adultos. Pero todo bien.
Iñigo (8/5): - Desayuno ,variedad para elegir y abundante
Catherine (6/5): - Cute bedroom huts, closeness to beach, friendly staff. I was nervous walking to hotel in evenings as not many street lights, few cars and lots of hiding spots for people to lerk. Would be great place if you were staying with another person.
Kerstin (9/5): - Schönes, großes Apartment mit guter Ausstattung. Brüllaffen-Weckservice inklusive. Direkt am Playa Negra.
Ana Maria (9/5): -

Corinne (10/5): - Un accueil très disponible, un hébergement propre, Des petits déjeuners frais
Andrea (9/5): - Ruhiges Zimmer, tolle Lage, direkt am Strand. sehr gutes Frühstück inklusive, Restaurant direkt am Pool. Sehr sauber. ----
HaJe1 (7/5): - Het zijn leuke uitjes op het park en alles was erg schoon. Het ontbijt is simpel, maar okay. Je kan goed de buren horen praten, daarnaast is het matras erg hard. Ook is het zwembad klein voor de hoeveelheid mensen op het park
Deborah (10/5): Pura Vida in Costa Rica! - excellent breakfast...exceptional service..great location....love the little town of Cahuita! a toaster in the room...
charlotte (10/5): - L’hôtel est situé juste en face de la mer sur une plage de sable noir, le bungalow est parfait avec une jolie terrasse vue mer. Le petit déjeuner compris dans le prix est très copieux et délicieux.
Jeffry (10/5): Un excelente fin de semana en un excelente hotel - Lo mejor de todo es el desayuno, es excelente. Le faltan vasos o en la habitación, eso ayudaría al cliente
Heidi (7/5): -
Fani (9/5): Excellent séjour - - chambre spacieuse - playa negra juste en face - stationnement sécuritaire - personnel attentioné - excellent restaurant (petit dejeuner top) - humidité
Roy (9/5): Para repetir. - La ubicación, la armonía con la naturaleza y el ambiente familiar.
Mads Petersen (8/5): - Friendly staff, great breakfast service and relaxing surroundings. Not a lot of options around, you need to walk some distance for shopping. Limited selection in the bar, but there is a option around 300 meters from the hotel.
Munoz (8/5): Relax - Las instalaciones están bien, el área de la piscina es hermosa y bien mantenida. La ubicación es genial, frente al mar. Hacen falta dispositivos para poder guindar ropa húmeda, tipo trajes de baño y paños, tanto de piscina como de playa.
Helena (7/5): -
Jary (9/5): Muy gratificante - Excelente NA
Héctor (10/5): Excelente lugar - Instalación y la amable atención Todo estuvo perfecto

Keilyn (10/5): Volvería a ojos cerrados - Exelente la atención, todo limpio las instalaciones comodas, todo de maravilla
James (8/5): -
bastos (9/5): Satisfacción - Si claro muy bonito Estuvo bien
Rainer (9/5): Wir waren gerne hier. - Der Bungalow Nr. 1 ist für zwei Personen großartig. Bei den Tikos sehr beliebt. Dann kann es tagsüber schon mal laut werden.
María Teresa (8/5): Arrullados por el mar en medio de la naturaleza - Los bungalows muy agradables, los jardines preciosos. La ubicación frente al mar muy atractiva, aunque un poco lejos del centro si no vas con carro. En realidad, solo me parecieron un poco despistados los muchachos del restaurante, que no estaban pendientes de los huéspedes ni conocían bien su trabajo. Me refiero a los dos chicos, no a las muchachas que son muy eficientes y muy amables.
bastos (10/5): - Muy amables, instalaciones excelentes, lindo lugar frente al mar, linda piscina muy cuidada Solo que las bebidas las venden a partir de las 11 am
Jorge (9/5): Agradable - Mucha variedad de opciones. Que una habitación no tenía A/C
Kari (6/5): Like the site and the location but friendliness of staff is important. I felt unwelcome. - The grounds are well kept, the pool is clean. 2 of the staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The room was close to the beach. Most of the staff were sullen and unfriendly. If I asked for something out of the ordinary(early check in, late check out), I was told No, despite the fact that the room was not rented(still showed available online). As stated before, 2 were exceptionally friendly, Sergio at the bar restaurant and Juan the grounds keeper were always smiling and friendly. However, every morning a young boy came around with the leaf blower right outside my door at 7am, There were no blackout curtains on the windows so at night you can see through the sheers into the room. I used a spare sheet for extra coverage. One window had nothing on it and as a solo traveler that is uncomfortable. During the day, the room is very dark.
Janina (7/5): Nette Anlage in guter Lage mit freundlichen Menschen - Die Unterkunft hat eine gute Lage und einen schön angelegten Garten mit Kolibris und vielen anderen Vögeln. Das Personal ist wirklich sehr sehr nett und hat mir meinen Wunsch nach einer zweiten Decke schnellstmöglich erfüllt. Auch das Frühstück a la carte (wir aßen Avocadotoast) war klasse. Unser Bungalow war sehr dunkel von innen und das Bad ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen.
Luis Mauricio (10/5): -
Pamela (9/5): Un buen lugar - El lugar es muy bonito y muy cerca de la playa. Tiene un buen desayuno y buen parqueo. Las camas son un poco duras podrian mejorar eso y en nuestra habitación el servicio sanitario olía muy fuerte a tanque séptico, cada vez que se usaba el servicio el olor inundaba la habitación a cañeria
Solano Solano (10/5): Caribe soñado - La comida estaba deliciosa, tanto el desayuno como el almuerzo del dia anterior. Los precios cómodos comparado con la comida. Las personas muy amables, especialmente el chico de los dreads, nos menciono lugares donde visitar cerca del lugar, gracias a su recomendación conocimos la piscina natural que estaba a 10 mins. El bungalow me pareció muy bonito tenía lo necesario, estaba aseado, realmente cuidaron cada detalle en la limpieza. La piscina muy bonita y familiar, fuimos con mi hija de 3 años y realmente amo pasar tiempo tanto en la playa como la piscina. Quizás que para la hora que llegamos los quioskitos cerca de la piscina estaban un poco sucios. Quizás tener a alguien pendiente.
JOSE (10/5): Es un lugar muy lindo lo recomiendo , Exelente comida - Mucho Todo muy bien
Montserrat (9/5): -
Maria Gabriela (9/5): - 1. Tiene una muy buena ubicación, cerca del centro y de todos los restaurantes, además el ser beach front es super plus. 2. El desayuno es de muy buena calidad. Muy completo y de buen sabor. 3. El personal siempre muy atento a las necesidades del huésped. 1. En la habitación que me quedé, solamente había aire acondicionado en los cuartos, y no en el área social lo que se vuelve un poco incómodo. 2. Era una habitación con capacidad hasta siete personas y solamente tenía un baño para todos. 3. El desayuno debería empezar un poco más temprano.
Gabriela (8/5): Los bungalows necesitan mas luz - Me gusto el desayuno, delicioso y la atención del personal La luz en los bungalows y que no ponen música ni dejan poner aunque sea volumen bajo en la piscina.

Maykol (10/5): -
Ruth (9/5): Instalaciones bien cuidadas, frente al mar, personal amable, desayuno estilo bufet muy rico. Sin duda me volvería a hosp -
Solenne (7/5): -
Jimmy (7/5): Bonito - La ubicación muy bien, el desayuno no.. Era muy sencillo. No ubo fruta, las raciones pequeñas. Y el personal no estaba centrado en el servicio.. Un fuerte mal olor al rededor de la piscina..
Thorsten (8/5): A cozy, nature-filled escape just steps from the ocean. - I really appreciated the peaceful garden surroundings, the short walk to the beach, and the warm hospitality from the hosts. The room got very little light.
Vanessa (9/5): -
Héctor (10/5): -
Kenia (10/5): - Atención increíble, bungalows cómodos
Michael (10/5): Exceptional - One of the more solid options in Cahuita. It's a bit north of the main town center but that ended up being quite nice. You pass one defunct hotel on the short drive to the stay, but have faith and keep going. It gets much better. This stay was very welcome after a long day of driving from Fortuna and a quick walk through the National park at the south end of Cahuita. We were able to walk to the park the next day and it only took about 15min. The swimming area was quite nice and the one morning we had breakfast, it was very nice. The other two mornings, we wanted to arrive bright and early at the park which makes a huge difference on what you see and avoid the crowds that arrive later. The rooms are rustic feeling but very clean, tidy and comfortable. There were other room styles available but as I was traveling with just two people, the bungalow styles cabins were perfect for us. The air con got the room quickly down to where we needed the one day that was extremely hot and muggy. There are a couple of restaurant very close to the property and both were excellent (Atlantida and the Reggae Bar). Nothing
Dennis (9/5): Very nice Great location and very cute layout. Staff were great!!! - Very nice breakfast and the staff were very friendly and prompt. They were quiet during meal times and very polite. Our first room had a funny odor but they moved us to another room which was a step up. The air conditioner was leaking and my wife slipped on the water. They did fix it immediately and it did not leak again
Glenda (10/5): Cute and quiet - Lovely place to stay. Clean and comfortable with friendly staff. Cute pool, delicious breakfasts and nice and quiet at night. Woken up by howler monkeys each morning! A bit further to walk into cahuita but as a result it was lovely and quiet.
Alfredo (10/5): Exceptional -
Luka (9/5): Superb -
Leandro (10/5): Exceptional -
Freddy (6/5): Although the pool was fine Andy the gardens were beautiful, the rooms were too uncomfortable. - Location was great and breakfast was fine. The beds were very hard and one was so low we couldn’t get up easily. Only air conditioning in one of the two bedrooms. All the furniture was very outdated and hard to sit on.
Ilse (10/5): Exceptional -
Wim (9/5): Superb -
David (10/5): Exceptional - Breakfast was great, staff was very accommodating Wouldn't change a thing
Mario (6/5): Great place. Bad service. Horrible wifi - The location is great. Close enough to the beach you can hear it and there is a close access to Playa Negra which is a great beach. The garden in the hotel is beautiful and the bungalows are well equipped with AC, TV and fridge. The staff was not good. They had a rule to request breakfast the night before said someone would.contact but nobody did so I had to make sure we got our order in instead of having someone take right before breakfast. They also forgot to make 1 of our breakfasts. You have to tell them to clean your room or they won't do it at all. The bungalows are really dark with no natural sunlight coming in. The wifi was terrible, signal dropped always not even 2 minutes of stable signal and this was bad cause their TVs need internet access to work.
Sandra (5/5): It was a bad choice. I won’t recommend it. Not worth the money. - Nice gardens Pool is too small. There is no outlet in the bathroom to connect a hair dryer that you have to borrow at the reception and give it back as soon as you’re done. No mirror near an outlet. There is very little light in the bungalow. TV/ WiFi didn’t work even after we complained. There is no place to eat inside the cabin, no table, no chairs. Towels are too small. There is no shampoo nor conditioner in the shower, only soap.
Joseph (10/5): Exceptional - Great location and close to everything the staff are friendly and very l⁶helpful lots of wildlife to see we had birds and howler monkey's
Esben (7/5): Clean, but a bit far from the national park/city centre. - Super friendly staff, very helpful. Clean rooms. Location is a bit far from city centre - 1.5 kms. On the other hand playa negra (black sand beach) is close if that's your thing.
