    The restaurant is convenient but not very good

    We were upgraded which made the value for money very good including the pass to the park (we paid 86€ for two people). - They can provide you with great guides! We had an awesome experience with ours for the twilight tour.

    Nice stay with nice trails

    To access the trails, you need to cross a suspension bridge, which may not be suitable for those with a fear of heights. Some of the trails are not well maintained, with muddy and slippery sections that can be challenging to navigate. The breakfast was average, without many options

    The room was spacious and clean. The trails on the property were a nice addition. We encounter an howler monkey while crossing the bride.

    Breakfast was good, nice variety, to go breakfast bag for our early flight. Lodge grounds had lots of animals- sloths, frogs, snakes, toucans. Great stay, staff very friendly and helpful.

    In the middle of the rainforest so great fauna and flora. Really enjoyed the night walk. Lovely watching wildlife from your breakfast table. It would be great if they could rent out some good binoculars.

    Great location on the banks of the Sarapiqui River, impressive suspension bridge walkway across the river to the tropical forest on the other side, very good guided tours at night and in day time. Friendly restaurant with reasonable food for dinner and breakfast. Simple but comfortable rooms. Be sure to also book a visit to "Dave and Daves" park 150 metres down the road as well for good visibility of local animal and bird species.

    Room was clean and quiet. Breakfast was buffet style with fresh foods. Juice and coffee were great. The location was the best. It was far enough away from the main road for quiet sleeping and at the same time being close enough to town to walk in a eat or shop.

    The room was quite basic. The outdoor seating looked onto a basic yard with an ugly fence so not good to use.

    Breakfast was basic but satisfactory. The location is good; nice trails to follow although not lots of animals to see. The chocolate tour was fun! Dave and Dave’s up the road is worth a visit whilst you’re staying here - amazing birds to see close up.

    I was pleased to see the environmental focus and extensive educational efforts.

    Room furnishings were not well thought out - placement of beds and tables, location of limited lighting, no chairs, no towel racks, etc.

    The place is delightful, an educational and environmental preservation program built around a very nice hotel. The staff are helpful and pleasant as well as knowledgeable. For me the only flaw was the somewhat inadequate guest room furnishings, but we were comfortable and enjoyed our stay.

    The restaurant area and the food is very plain and the older rooms could do with a little update.

    The private reserve with the trails a d bridges is the main reason for staying in this lodge. The guides are knowledgeable and they're are animals like sloths, monkeys and green iguanas right around the buildings. There's a coffee maker and tea and coffee available in the room.

    - Breakfast and Restaurant so so. - My little girl stained a bit the bed sheets with an highlighter and they asked us 20 USD for that. Ridicoulous.

    The trails are really excellent, lots of wildlife and since most of them are clean and paved, there is a good accessibility as you can see where you put your feet and you also avoid taking too much mud.

    Need to get more lights into the bathroom. Food was mediocre, but not why you'd stay here anyway. Some trails are restricted, but no indication why.

    The wildlife to be seen on the grounds is still top notch - birds, sloths, frogs, monkeys all in residence. The bridge is quite the experience to cross with a decent amount of trails on the other side. We enjoyed the chocolate tour and guide was very good identifying wildlife along the way. Guarded parking lot was nice to have.
