Garden and animals walking around. Well organized and relaxing place to stay.

We loved everything about it

Absolutely stunning place and the highlight of our 2 week stay in Costa Rica. Stayed in the blue bungalow which was really spacious for 2 adults and 2 children and equipped with everything we needed. However, it is the location which is magical, feeling you are in the jungle and walking through gardens with adult and baby sloths in the trees amongst lots of other animals. The swimming pool was used a lot by the kids and the beach is just across the road. Also, lots of restaurants within walking distance. We enjoyed Rincón del amor and Restaurante pizzeria Cahuita. We also drove to Punta Uva for a caribe sur canoeing trip where we saw sloths and turtles and the bri bri tour where the kids enjoyed making chocolate. Playa Negra is really special and we found it hard to leave !

The owner was super friendly. The house is located in a beautiful garden, basically your own private nature reserve with sloths, birds, frogs, aguri and more.

The garden was wonderful. Several sloths live on the grounds.

I would give this guesthouse 7 stars if that were possible. The staff were exceptionally friendly & helpful. The grounds are a tropical paradise full of birds, butterflies & other wildlife. The rooms are clean & comfortable surrounded by the beautiful gardens.

Everything was just perfect!

Fantastic place with a beautiful garden, plenty of wildlife! The hosts are super welcoming, taking their time to show you around and help spot the animals (sloths, toucans, lizards etc). The pool is also very nice as well as the beach just across the street - it has shade, more sloths and feels safe for kids. We would have happily spent more time there!

We were in the room at the end on the first floor. An upstairs room has a better view from the patio and feels more open. It was hard to operate the shower to get the right temperature and the TV/Netflix didn’t always work.

The owners were super friendly and helpful. The grounds and pool are beautiful. The bed is comfortable and the AC worked well, which is important because it’s very hot in the area.

Hard to figure out the hot water for the shower.

The garden, the owners, coffee in the room. Drinks and milk to buy. Very close to the beach.

My only complaint is lack of screens on the doors. Note that not all rooms have a/c, and it gets quite hot and humid.

The grounds are beautiful and home to several native animals. The room we had was large and comfortable. Our host, Anna, was charming, friendly and helpful. It's an easy walk to the beach and to nearby restaurants.

All was great.

Its just this amazing garden in a little town called cahuita. You will find sloths, toucans, gutti’s, frogs, hummingbirds and many other beautiful animals just on the premisis alone. The property is really nice and very boutique. We stayed in the yelllow bungalow which was very well equipped

Nada.

The hostess was very friendly and supportive. She showed us her private grounds with all sorts of animals, including sloths and her swimming pool. The town was very busy and noisy with tourists. Though nearby, this portion of town is very quiet with good dining and a swimming beach.

We perhaps ( because of our budget) didn’t choose the best room which was comfortable and very well equipped but quite small and dark - all the other rooms were bigger and brighter - we will know for next time!

The property is an attractive colonial style house set in expansive and beautiful gardens, which attract lots of wonderful wildlife including sloths, toucans, agouti and iguanas. Across the road from the guest house is the ocean, and beyond the gardens there is forest. Marise and Pierre were very kind and helpful and keen to show us the animals. There were a couple of restaurants very close by, and Cahuita village is just a ten minute walk away with lots of choice in where to eat .

Excellent location in Cahuita - beach right in front, restaurants nearby, cca 15 mins to the main road and centre, so still quiet but in reachable destination to all that you need in such a location. absolutely amazing garden - a national park itself :-) an enthusiastic owner that shows you all the animals and tells everything in a friendly tone. all the service from the owners was excellent, including recommended contacts for guides, rentals and transfer to San Jose - many thanks!

The garden is amazing with all the wildlife - sloths, iguana, frogs, agoutis, birds. Pool is great for a dip. Green house is comfortable and well equipped. Location is great - beach just opposite where we had fun in the waves and a short easy ride to town. Marise always available to answer questions and Pierre to show where the sloths are hiding!

The AC in the room was installed in a way that it was only covering part of the room, freezing one person in a single bed so that others could have comfort. There were some plumbing issues in our toilet after power cut.

It was a room in the main building. The room was quite big and had a small kitchen with some utensils, a fridge, basic coffee maker, kettle and toaster. There was a sitting area in the front. The pool was very nice. Garden beautiful and well taken care of with two sloths, many iguanas and birds, frogs, crabs. The owners were nice and friendly, they showed us were to look for the animals. Pierre was especially passionate about animal life and told us some interesting stories. We got some recommendations of places to eat and visit. There was a black beach just in front of the property.
