The view from the lodge is pretty spectacular, especially after dark when the stars come out. I'm hard pressed to remember anything like it from a sleeping quarter. It feels magical lying in bed and seeing this. There are flowers all around the place and you can have great walks in nature. We were 3 adults and a toddler. The size was perfect for us and you can even enjoy the view from the jacuzzi. The propriators were really friendly and flexible. Highly recommend.

Casa Buena Vista was what the name states and so much more. Not only were the views fantastic and the setting sublime, the accommodations were top tier. The beds were extremely comfortable. The kitchen and dining room facilities were amazing. The bathroom was modern and had good hot water. There was a nice little fireplace/stove to keep warm on the chilly mountain evenings. As birders, we also enjoyed the numerous birds flitting around the casa. There were figs and flowers to attract them. The view from the front deck of the valley was spectacular.

Great location could hear the stream below. Restaurant walking distance great trout up the road. Loved sitting in and outside watching the hummingbirds in the bottle brushes outside. Attempted to see the elusive quetzel. Alas only saw a flash of bright green in the park as he flew away.

This place is a gem. At first glance it's a little red shed, but once you enter the landscape unfolds. Lurking on the hillside, the back of the lodge is a glass wall that allows you to overview the jungle and river from out of the bed. We loved how the owner reforested this former pasture into a little garden of eden. You can take a bath in the river and have breakfast on the balcony with birds all around. It's on walking distance from the Hummimgbird garden, Cloud Bridge reserve and other places.

Absolutely gorgeous jungle setting not far from Nauyaca Waterfalls! The breakfast was yummy but we were surprised to find out it wasnt included in the price of the lodging which wasnt cheap. We learned if you stay in the apartments breakfast is included and the pool is close but we had to pay and walk a ways to and from our rustic secluded Casa Romantica. A little warm; no a/c and the internet didnt work up there. The staff were attentive and helpful and put a lot of care into the meal and cleanliness of communal areas.

The location is pure bliss. The cabin is really cosy and comfortable. The host is really accommodating and speaks good English. The friendly doggies on the property come as a plus if you miss your pooches at home.
