Stunning location!

Pros: Beautiful location. Stunning setting with the bar, restaurant and top pool. Unbeatable views and sunsets! Iguanas popping in to visit, hummingbirds and butterflies everywhere. Just WOW! Good food, too.

Cons: Lack of air con was a shame. But there are fans. Just be prepared to sweat it out... 😂

Amazing stay and biking!

Pros: This is definitely more than just a bike park. We had a lovely stay here and the facilities were great. The bungalow was perfect and we had 2 bedrooms and a lounge area with kitchen (no oven). We ate in the restaurant which was some of the best food we have had in Costa Rica. The biking according to my son and husband was challenging and fun. They rented electric downhill bikes from the centre. The 2 pools were an added bonus. The staff were wonderful and couldn’t have been more helpful.

Cons: Some areas are looking a bit run down like the pool areas but this did not take away from our fab stay.

Really nice with some room for improvement

Pros: Rooms are really nice. Great views! Good beds. Great shower. The pool was lovely.

Cons: For the restaurant some room for improvement. In some of the dishes there were ingredients which were not on the menu. For example tomato. The portions were really small. The food took long and we did not eat at the same time. And it would be nice to receive some information about what to do in the area during check in.
