Beautiful property with wonderful staff. Room was clean, well furnished, and comfortable. Enjoyed being right outside of La Fortuna - close enough to easily get to food, attractions, etc., but far enough away for that secluded cabin vibe. Highly recommend booking!

Pura Vida!!! I absolutely loved my stay here. There was more than enough room for me and I am looking forward to coming back with my children for a stay. The entire grounds are beautiful and they have so many added value for you to truly take in and enjoy the beauty of Costa Rica. All the staff were so friendly and went above and beyond. The pools are so pretty and clean, hammocks, nice seating areas on the porch. I have no complaints. 12/10 recommend.

Wonderful location, not too far from downtown La Fortuna (about 10 min) but it’s far enough from the noise and traffic. Our family stayed for 3 nights and felt completely safe. But what makes this place a gem is the wonderful staff (Silvia, Nicole, and Ana). They made us felt welcome and treated like family. It’s a place I would definitely stay again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!
