    Great food and fantastic location. Nice staff

    Only negative point: really too expensive At least some short tours should be included for that price

    Paradise on Earth

    Tout est parfait ! C’est le paradis sur terre! Certainement l’une des meilleures cuisines du Costa Rica sans parler du cadre idyllique et des activités à faire. Le personnel est aimable et c’est toujours un plaisir de revoir les propriétaires et d’échanger avec eux ! C’est notre troisième séjour au Costa Rica et c’est un lieu incontournable!

    Rien !

    Fabulous location, lovely food and excellent guilds.

    Our room was at the edge of the jungle, the atmosphere and experience of staying here was very special. We loved it! Yoga with David on the yoga deck by the sea was absolutely wonderful!

    Nothing.

    Exceptionnel

    L'hôtel isolé dans la jungle (à 100m de la mer) est un havre de paix. L'accueil ainsi que le service la part des différents membres est exceptionnel. Mes enfants ont pu pêcher (sur le quai, pas de coût supplémentaire), un jeune homme est resté en permanence avec eux. La nourriture est excellente, de qualité. La présence de nombreux animaux dans cette partie du Costa Rica est également un régal. Nous avons vu: ara rouge (les gros perroquets), serpents, caïmans, quelques petits mammifères, araignées, papillon morpho bleu, colibris, poissons vers le quai, même une baleine sur le trajet (de 30 min) en bateau. Compte tenu du service et du fait que ce soit pension complète, le rapport qualité-prix est finalement excellent. Clairement, une destination de rêve.

    La plage est moins propice à la baignade qu'ailleurs: ce n'est pas du sable mais des cailloux.
