Karole is absolutely amazing. The apartment is on a family estate, it’s beautiful and very well furnished. We felt at home, far from the tourist area, in nature. We saw a lot of toucans and other amazing birds. Thank you so much. We had a blast!

Little paradise with amazing staff, nice facilities, and a clean wooden room. Amazing pools, nice little hike to a waterfall and wild life. A bit far from everything, probably part of its charm.

The lodge itself was fine, a bit basic but it was very spacious with a nice deck. But what really makes it worth your stay is the beautiful garden!! Birds everywhere such as toucans, aracari and parrots but you can also see horses, lizards, butterflies and more. Elias is a really kind host who helped us book a wonderful night tour and we can also recommend the breakfast. Rio Celeste is just around the corner. Overall really great value for your money!!

We just loved our short stay here! The lodge was beautifully made with so many nice details, realy showing some great skills. The kotchen was fully equippes although we did not use it. The owners were lovely people. And the welcome with wine and chocolate was amazing! Unfortunately it rained heavily for most of our stay but we had a small window to listen to and watch birds in the morning.

From the moment we arrived, and were greeted by the whole family; our stay was a highlight of the trip. We were treated with such care and attention and felt it was very personal to us. The little cottage we stayed in was in the garden…beautifully private and quiet. We loved hearing the birds in the bushes and trees next to the terrace. The cottage was spotlessly clean and kitchen, although small, very well equipped. The beds were very comfortable and although no air con…the fan worked very well.

We loved the huts - the lovely rooms with a terrace - we went to sleep listening to the sounds of nature. We loved the spa, the authentic and tasty breakfast and dinner and attended the chocolate making workshop and a tour of the cacao farm. Everything was AMAZING.

    The view was amazing. I loved laying on the hammock outside. Staff were so accommodating. We set a time with them when we would meet, but we ended up texting them 2 times to push our check on time later. So much to see in the area Great location to the park and this wonderful, beautiful restaurant , it seemed was out in the middle of no where. The coolest restaurant I have ever seen.

    Since we were in the low season, no food was available on place. Thanks to Tetiana and Mikhael, they helped us find solutions and we were satisfied. The location has great potential, lots of pools and the river, simply wow! Sauna was very appreciated. Lots of bird watching to do, sounds of them when waking up is very soothing. Garden and paths across are wonderful.
