It’s a quaint, rustic lodge that is on a great location and some great views especially of the volcano. For the price, you can’t go wrong if you’re looking for lodging that’s economical.

The area around the property is very nice and quiet. The breakfast was mediocre at best. The 3 bedroom villa where we stayed was very spacious. However, there are many needs for improvement. For starters, the lodge had a stale, moldy smell to it that never went away during our 4day stay. It was endured by all of us traveling, but severely irritated my wife's allergies, where she slept with a mask on at night and couldn't wait to leave the lodge the next morning. There were no screen doors to allow fresh air in either. The maintenance was sub-par as one of the bedrooms had wall sconces that didn't work and one was hanging off the wall. We specifically selected properties with private pools, but this one had no filter running in it to clean the water, so that was a no go. The kitchen was dusty, esp. around the cups, bowls and plates, and didn't have things such as paper towels. Running water was at a thin stream and not at a high temperature. The place needs a full remodel imo.

Beautiful scenery

Location by the waterfall was convenient. Restaurants weren't too far to drive too. The breakfast was good. The bar was closed the three days we were there and the weather was too rainy and cool to swim in January. The room was clean but had a musty odor. Probably common in a rainforest area. Front desk employees were helpful and attentive. Bookings tours at the front desk was easy. Parking was easy and safe. The outdoor pool area was very pretty and the hiking trails behind the pool should be fun with the right weather. The staff let us know where to watch to see a sloth, which we did see.

The location is right below the waterfall and if you want to be in the jungle- this is it! The staff are very helpful but this property has seen better days and needs some investment in the grounds and the rooms and villas. The villa we rented was spacious and we thought clean but upon looking closer you see mold in the bathrooms and the villa had some type of critter in the walls that will keep you up at night. There is also a very treacherous path for your car to get to the villas so be warned. It was not what we expected and I would definitely not stay there again.

I love the fact that as soon as we arrived on the property, we saw a slot! I guess there’s a family of them. The front desk staff was super friendly. Our bungalow in the jungle was secluded and awesome. You need to know that it was dated, however. A little bit like camping in the woods. It was probably the best value out there.

The rooms feel damp and there is absolutely no soundproofing so you can hear all your neighbours in their rooms or in the hallway. Ideally you need a car to get to the property. I used Ubers to get to the main town which were about CRC3,000 each way. The breakfast was good & the views are fantastic. There are no shops/restaurants close by which is not ideal if you don’t have a car.

Overall, it is really good. However, their breakfast portion is very small and it is little convenient to go during allotted time period ! The should be more open in providing extra towels - not just one on one exchange.
