I’m not surprised by the high reviews — the photos show exactly how it is. The place has a calm vibe, great breakfast and coffee, and a garden full of life. The night tour was amazing, with red-eyed and glass frogs. We didn’t see a sloth in the garden but did at Mistico Park and at the hosts’ farm, where we ate fresh rambutans! We didn’t feel like a tourist here but part of the family. Truly memorable stay. Thank you Leo and Rosaura!

The property is lush and tropical attracting all sorts of birds. The rooms have a fabulous view of the volcano and it’s a short drive or longer walk to town. The rooms are cleaned daily. The staff are very helpful and kind. There’s a shared tea / coffee area and pool. Really great value. We loved our stay here.

It was super clean and nice. We had everything and more than we needed. The accommodation has a nice kitchen and living room, they offer breakfast for little money, laundry service, and it has a very nice balcony. It is only a few minutes week to the center of the town 😊 The room was beautiful and modern. We enjoyed every minute of our stay!

Really an exceptional spot. The accommodations are very rustic (think glorified camping), so as long as you're not expecting the Marriott you feel part of the forest with the sound of toucans and howler monkeys - and the views of Arenal and the lake are out of this world. Owners are lovely and have a ton of local information. Can walk to lake, river and nearby store and restaurant. Would stay again in a heartbeat and for longer.

This property was amazing - absolutely gorgeous. The accommodations were lovely and spacious. The pools and hot springs are stunning with amazing views all around. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location was also perfect - an easy taxi ride to La Fortuna and close proximity to tons of great excursions. Highly recommend!

With one small exception, absolutely everything! If you want to stay near Arenal and explore the rainforests around the volcano, this is the place to go and stay. Views are out of this world and accomodations are great. Loved their focus on sustainability and eco-tourism. We stayed for three nights but could easily have spent a week.

Perfect start to our family holiday in Costa Rica. Wanted a place close to the airport upon arrival due to long flight and jet lag but which already held „nature/jungle-vibe“. Stayed for one night. Perfect place to start!

Location was great, close to everything. I stayed in one of the cylinder rooms because it was such a unique accommodation, and I'm so glad I did! It was private and in the middle of a beautiful garden area. The air conditioning was ideal. I scheduled an all day tour with the staff that was amazing! The resort was pretty empty during my visit, the quiet was nice. Everything was fairly clean for a hostel.
