Pros: Well-designed bungalows perfectly integrated into the natural landscape. A beautiful, untamed river flows through the garden, forming natural swimming basins among giant rocks. The staff is fantastic, and the owner stands out—clearly passionate about the project and genuinely committed to giving guests an unforgettable experience

Cons: n/a

Amazing will return

Pros: Superb grounds next to the river, most comfortable bed of our trip. Excellent breakfast & customer service.

Cons: We didn't eat here as it was expensive and you could only have four courses. However we found great alternative restaurants within easy walk away.

This was an enchanted hotel with abundant nature all around, and fantastic amenities!

Pros: The breakfast was fantastic!! We enjoyed the pre-breakfast of muffins, bread and jam and then were blown away by the 2 course breakfast made with delicious, healthy ingredients.

Cons: We loved the open air windows, but did get a few moths and other insects in the room. But overall, it was fine.

Muy bueno

Pros: Habitación, jardines, Limpieza, jacuzzis, pre-desayunos y desayunos Pet friendly

Cons: La Cabina Rio vista carece de privacidad. Necesita persianas en el baño al menos . No hay guarda de seguridad aunque cierran el portón. Gracias a los comentarios anteriores no reservamos las cenas, que el menú es muy limitado y costoso.

Pros: Gorgeous grounds. Attention to detail in every corner of the architecture. Great, professional staff. Wonderful massages. Our room sat above a roaring river. We loved the pool and hot tubs. Delicious food.

Cons: Almost everything in we ate during the fixed dinners was delicious. One night the soup was so salty that we couldn't eat it- we thought it was a surprising quality control flop given how good everything else was.

Peter 10/10
Switzerland 🇨🇭

Pros: Einfach nur perfekt. Das Essen entsprach dem einer Sternenküche mit stets mehreren Gängen an lokal produzierten Mahlzeiten. Das Personal war aufmerksam und zuvorkommend und erkannte unsere Wünsche, ohne dass wir fragen mussten. Versüsst wurde der Aufenthalt durch zwei freundliche Hauskatzen, das morgendliche Yoga mit Pre-Breakfast und die Natur mit vielen wilden Tieren (hoteleigener Park).

Super Ausgangspunkt um die Gegend zu erkunden oder mal abzuschalten

Pros: Super schönes Hotel in den Bergen, sehr leckeres Frühstück mit Möglichkeit in einem Bergbach zu baden. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und wir konnten unser Gepäck für eine Nacht dort aufbewahren, während wir auf den Cerro Chirripo gewandert sind. Die beste Unterkunft unserer Costa Rica Reise.
