    It is slightly outside of the centre of Cahuita, which is perfectly fine (and even better) if you have a car but if you’re like me and doesn’t have a car, you might want to rent a bike tomorrow get around.

    The staff was great and they even drove me to the bus station on the day of my departure, amazing! The pool is very nice after a day of hiking in the national park, you are surrounded by nature and might even see an iguana or coatis running around.

    Lovely cabin in the jungle with a terrace to watch the monkeys and agouti. All very comfortable, large room with own fridge. Great to have shared kitchen facilities and, of course a swimming pool!

    Our room (the end cabina) had a strong smell that the manager didn’t notice, but keeping the fans on made it bearable. We chose to stay rather than search for another place.

    A peaceful stay with beautiful grounds and a pristine pool. Spacious, comfortable rooms with clean bathrooms, though no AC—just two fans per room. If you struggle with heat, consider other options. No breakfast provided, but Brigette’s next door offers a basic option. A 15-minute walk to town and the main track.

    The location was a little bit far from the town center (15-20 min walk) but there were two or 3 cafes near by.

    The cabins were great, very clean and the pool was a nice touch. They cleaned it every day and changed the sheets every second day. When we were leaving, we asked for taxi to get to the bus station and we were pleasantly surprised that it was covered by the property :) Lived the jungle feeling - saw few animals There is a shared kitchen you can cook in - had everything you need

    The cabin was a bit hot.

    It was tucked away in the jungle surrounded by beautiful plants and trees. Lovely pool, sweet cabins snd shared kitchen. It was an easy walk to food, bars, beach- and lots of cute dogs!

    A tad hot at night without air-conditioning but a lovely place.

    I spent about 2 weeks in Costa Rica and this was our favorite place amongst the 5 we stayed at. We ate the bananas from the trees that were on the grounds, saw a toucan while sitting at the pool. The Howler monkies woke us up a tad earlier in the mornings than I would have liked but a fun experience. Also saw two varieties of the small dart frogs while walking around the property.

    Our first night there we were locked out of our cabin and there was no one at reception. It was only 5 pm not late at night. We were stuck for 3 hours with no shoes, phones, money, food, water, etc. No one ever came to reception. We had to have another guest call the owners who were away in Europe who had to then call someone to come and let us in our cabin. Without the help from the other guest, we might have been stuck sleeping outside all night. There was also a fiesty dog on the property who would not stop attempting to 'play' with me and I ended up with scratches and bruises on my legs. They were apologetic, but I definitely think the place could have been managed better! That experience would have made a less chill person super angry. Also, the cabins were pretty rustic. There were tons of insects inside and it got very hot during the day. The fans were helpful, but if you are sensitive to heat and bugs look elsewhere.

    We really enjoyed our time in our cabin. It was extremely quiet and peaceful. There was abundant wildlife on the property. We saw more wildlife here than at the national park. We enjoyed this place more than staying in town because of the seclusion, privacy and quiet. The cabin was very cute and charming and the shower was nice. It was nice to have a fridge in the room as well as a shared kitchen to use.

    The staff was flexible with a late check in, kind and generous with free fruit and a coconut. They cleaned the room daily and did laundry for us. And they found a red eye tree frog for us to observe when they realized I loved seeing all the animals on the property. It was clean, the WIFI worked strong in the room, two fans in the room kept us cool, the pool was great, we didn't see one mosquito here (mid-November) but the best part was all the animals on the property - a couple types of poison dart frogs, red-eye green tree frog, iguanas greeting us at the pool, agouti scampering about the grounds, various birds and more. I don't think they served breakfast which was fine. Next door was Bridgett's and they had some delicious breakfast options. It was about a ten minute walk to the town but only a couple minutes up the street from the beach and reggae bar. The best part of the location for us was it's setting in the woods where it was peaceful and we could see many animals right on the property.
