Great option in the area

Pros: Beautiful resort - large and comfortable suites - don't think there is anything better in the neighbourhood - we only stayed for one night but with hindsight should have stayed a bit longer. The staff is even more friendly compared to other places in Costa Rica.

Enchanting experience in every way.

Pros: Everything is exquisite about this hotel. All so beautiful, tucked into the rainforest. It was pouring rain a lot of the time and that didn't deter us at all...the pool was heated and the jacuzzis SUPER HOT... Umbrellas everywhere for walking around...The staff was incredible...always smiling and sincerely friendly. Great location for day excursions to waterfalls, night frog hikes, hanging bridges, river floats etc...

Fantastic location and staff

Pros: Proximity to Rio Celeate National Park Rooms looking out over the rain forest

Cons: Currently construction work being undertaken which makes the pool area a little noisy

Amazing! Loved it! Can’t wait to go back again when back in Costa Rica!

Pros: Location, staff, guestroom comfort, private access to river

Cons: Temperature of the pool was too hot. The interior design of the spa could be more in line with the aesthetic of the rest of the hotel.

A wonderful stay in a fantastic resort !

Pros: A fantastic resort nestled in the rainforest. Rooms are large and well equipped. The bed is fantastic. The outdoor shower is wonderful. We saw a lot of cappuccino monkeys playing on the roof. Sleeping with the sounds of nature is a great experience. The restaurant is a place to eat. Great service. Trails in the property are very interesting, offering a chance to dive into the Celest River.
