Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms, though basic, were clean and had everything I needed. The service was fantastic, with the staff always friendly and eager to help. The location, while scenic and in the midst of the rainforest, required additional cost for transportation. Dining options were varied but could be improved. However, the facilities provided added value to my experience.
I had a delightful stay at this jungle resort. The rooms were comfortable and nicely furnished, offering privacy despite being close together. The service was friendly and attentive, making me feel well taken care of. While the location in the Costa Rican rainforest was unique, some noise disturbances affected the ambience. The dining experience was more than adequate, serving local cuisine. The resort had a nice riverside bar to enjoy.
Staying at this hotel is like being in the heart of the forest, with spacious rooms on stilts that are clean but a bit dim. You can fall asleep to the sounds of howler monkeys or the soothing rain, although the lack of windows can be a downside at times.
