CheapTickets Verified Review
"A hidden gem in guanacaste province! By far my favorite place, from the warm welcome, to the well-thought out layout of our cabin, to the excellent service all around! The place is clean, safe, well maintained, easy to navigate even for our young kids, who felt right at home. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with a chocolate drink and a tasting of various locally crafted cacao products. The breakfast, traditional costa rican, is made fresh every morning, with coffee/tea/hot chocolate included! Dinner in 2026 is 18 USD per adult and 12 USD per child. Well worth it even if it's slightly pricier than local sodas: it's a genuine farm-to-table experience, includes a fresh fruit juice and dessert. We did the included cacao tour (and learned so much!) as well as the paid chocolate workshop (so much fun, and you get to take home 3 tablets of personalized chocolate per person! In 2026, it was 120 USD for our family of four). And what to say about the staff! Friendly, kind, and super patient with the children :) The included spa is gorgeous; we felt like we were right in paradise on earth! Yoga mats, hot bath, cold bath, showers, all in the middle of a gorgeous tropical setting! An ecologically friendly place; they recycle, they promote responsable handling of nature, and, the cacao farm is sustainably managed and organic!"
