Shower water temp beyond control. Bathroom is old and could be cleaner. A/C water dripping to the room floor all night. Room too dark, more light needed. It’s not a low price lodge, would be great if the owner can invest on some improvements. Kitchen lady is nice and friendly.

The owners and family were amazing and friendly to help! Rooms average but clean. Unfortunately we were expecting a normal restaurant per the website and that is not available unless a group is pre booked.

El precio muy elevado para lo que ofrecen

Por el monto que se pago se esperaba una habitación más grande, la piscina estaba sucia, nos quedamos sin cable y wifi por una hora aproximadamente, el trato de los que atendían no tengo queja, se escucha mucho el ruido de las habitaciones al lado

Situated in a local neighbourhood off the hwy. 30 minutes to San Antonio National Park. One large and comfortable room. Air con is off when you first arrive so the room is stuffy but once the AC is running for about 30 min room is comfortable. A large, glass window and door are secure but one must close drapes for privacy.

Definitivamente es la mejor estancia que he tenido en Costa Rica. The owner of the hotel is the most kind and helpful person in the world. I spent an excellent time talking to her. I would definitely go back to the hotel, and would recommend it. It´s a 10/10 hotel. Near to Quepos (if you have a car) and other interesting places(Bandera and Palo Seco beaches), spacious rooms and very quiet place to be relax.

Schönes Hotel nähe Manuel Antonio und Quepos

- sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter/Atmosphäre. Fühlt sich weniger touristisch an, mehr lokal..was gut ist ! - Bei Ankunft direkt vom Eigentümer begrüßt worden und alle nötigen Infos erhalten. - Hotel übernimmt Tourbuchungen und ist sehr hilfsbereit bei Urlaubsplanung usw - Eigentümer macht schöne Kanuausflüge direkt vom Hotel aus - viel Wildlife ist aber eher ausserhalb der Regenzeit zu sehen. In der Regenzeit gibt es nur ganz vereinzelt Vögel. Garantiert sind aber Lizzards und Äffchen... Die Mangrovenlangschaft ist sehr interessant und man lernt viel darüber - Der Aufenthalt lohnt sich nur mit Mietwagen - ist aber kein negativer Punkt, da alles viel persönlicher, weniger touristisch und ruhiger !

Great hidden gem

This place was a great choice. We had a great room, very friendly owner walked us around the whole property talking about the plants and facilities. The food was amazing as it was typical local fare. The owner even picked a ripe soursop from her onsite tree for us for breakfast.

Perfect! Delicious breakfast and wonderful people!

Perfect service! Beautiful lodge, very clean! Safe area. Monkeys stopped by in the morning, so funny to see them so close. The staff Marlene, William and the ladies are wonderful people, the feel like family. Delicious food! They know how to cook!! This was the best stay during our vacation. Marlene gave us good advice about Parque Manual Antonio. Approximately 30 minutes from the parque. Muchas gracias a Tia Marlen, William y a los miembros de la familia! Abrazos!

Great place, comfortable, clean and the staff is incredible. The owner Marlen what a women so kind and nice. We felt like at home. The manglar tour is superb a must see and live experience.
