This was probably my favorite part of Costa Rica Trip! It was so surreal to spend some time disconnected and surrounded by such beautiful nature. Loved all the trails, but sandaderos in bosque la tigra was my favorite. It’s a primary and secondary rainforest property they have nearby and you can visit it for a small fee. I saw there more wildlife by myself than in any other forests walking with a guide. I did a night tour and we walked around the property, not even rainforest further out, and saw 3 snakes within the first 5minutes, so many frogs and other insects, and the guide was very knowledgable. I also planted a tree there and it was a really beautiful experience of giving back to the nature and community. Overall service is 10/10, always with a smile, always asking a question or two. No connection at all anywhere except the reception, but wifi there is stronger than in most coworkings I have visited here in Costa Rica. The only thing that was challenging for me personally and I have not seen it mentioned in the comments is if you sometimes get car sick, a road to the property will make you car sick, so please have some medicine handy. But it’s the entire area around that is like this, so just accepting it as part of adventure. I recommend staying for 2-3 nights and spending it in the lodge area enjoying the nature, the best disconnection and reconnection with the self “retreat” 🤭

In this small family operation, Jose’s service was impeccable. He reached out in advance and removed down/feather pillows as I’m allergic. Six stars, Jose, for preheating the outdoor jacuzzi in advance of our arrival. Bungalow is the right word: small, adequate, hybrid indoor and outdoor. Jacuzzi on the side; rainforest in the back. Breakfast was more than adequate, and we enjoyed a tasty dinner at the Ross restaurant in nearby Chachagua. Sadly, we missed an early morning sighting of the area sloth crawling across the power line above. That’s for next time.

Friendly staff and owners. Great hideout in the middle of the jungle. We've seen many frogs, birds and other animals there. The night tour with Jay was awesome 😀

We stayed a week and wish it was longer! The people here made this one of our favorite family vacations. There was so much to do in the area (hiking, sloths, hot springs, volcano, rain forest etc). The food at the hotel was wonderful! Loved the breakfasts with fresh fruit and juices. Everything was made from scratch. We are vegetarian and they had no trouble accommodating us. They checked daily to see what time we wanted to eat. My college age kids didn't want to eat anywhere else. Coffee was fabulous! Luis is a wonderful chef! Giovanni is extremely nice and made us feel at home. He helped us plan our activities and booked several things for us. All of his recommendations were spot on. My kids enjoyed the pool and the excellent wifi.

The Staff! Incredibly friendly and helpful. Staying with Fabian at reception, who took us on a small tour before we even got to our room, to our amazing wait staff at the restaurant, Anthony, Pamela, and all the others. The waterslide into the river was a perfect way to start the day!

This 2-bedroom house was absolutely perfect for our family with two kids! We give it a perfect 10 out of 10. The host was incredibly friendly, the house was spotlessly clean, everything was in excellent condition, and it was fully equipped with everything we needed. Our son enjoyed the pool whenever he could. We had a wonderful stay and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone!
