This is a very rustic eco lodge in the Jungle. The natural water fed pools in the middle of the jungle and the jungle cabin feel are quite authentic. The path down to the pool is not easy if you are not in good shape. I recommend this place if you are looking for an authentic Costa Rican jungle experience. The staff was amazing.

Perfect place to stay for lovers of nature, I saw plenty of birds and beautiful plants. Right on a mountain, the most beautiful trails and views, all on the property! I only met William and Anderson there as far as staff but they were both very kind and accommodating! Breakfast was so amazing and fresh!! If you stay here you cannot skip breakfast, balanced and affordable compared to other places in town. Just be aware of the bugs that may sneak in your room.. but it is inevitable so nothing the property could control!!

The worst place we have ever been. The room was dirty, there were water leaks, cracked walls and floors, broken windows, rusty faucets. It rained the whole night and we could hear the loud noise of the water falling on the tin roof. We had a reservation for four nights and stayed just one, after agreement with the director of paying for one night getting the rest of our money our money back. This never happened. We have been calling them for two months now and they just give bad excuses. Staff at the property was really nice and helpful.

Good location with trails and rainforest however this is basically a 1-2 star hotel. They don't clean your room or surroundings once you check in, there is a limit on number of towels and it's far from the town.

Good value in the jungle

Very good value for money, very quite and with friendly staff and a location right in the forest. The view from the common areas is spectacular. Has the best natural pool you will find in the forest! Offers dinners for 15$ and breakfast for 7$ The last 400m road to the lodge is a bit rough but doable in all cars

Beautiful setting, great service, friendly staff

This place is amazing! The setting is out of this world, you are basically surrounded by a tropical forest. The rooms are plain but clean, but the ambience has exceeded our expectations! The staff are friendly and the service superb. Couldn't have found a better place to stay. If you stay there, make sure to do the Adventure Tour, my teenager rated it as one of the best experiences in La Fortuna!

Simple facility- beautiful surroundings.

While the room was quite spartan, the grounds are beautiful, as is the large deck with a spectacular view of the volcano, Arenal. The staff, especially Anderson and William, were warm, friendly, immediately responsive. Communal meals were delicious and a fun way to commune with fellow travelers. The only disappointment was the distance from the Arenal national park- a good 40 to 45 minute drive from the resort.

Property is stunning with trails and waterfall, pools and mud bath. Staff is exceptional (esp Anderson). Love the dogs, too (missing you, Princess)!!! Offers breakfast and lunch and there's a nice restaurant only a few steps away (2 for cocktails) Might be best suited for guests younger than I (70 ), but staff was so helpful. This place is absolutely beautiful!
