Very good stay recomend this hotel.

Great place with nice garden and bird feeders. Had a couple of boat tours arranged by them which were excellent. Very helpful staff even lent us the bars kettle so we could make tea. Food was also excellent

Hidden gem

We decided to stay at this hotel because we wanted to experience the everglade type atmosphere. It was a bit of a jot to get here with some tough roads and very rural area, but it is a hidden gem. We absolutely loved it and are so glad we decided to go outside our comfort zone and stay here I’m sure not many people do, but it is well worth the trip to say that we came to this location and specifically this hotel. And we finally got to see a family of monkeys on our river boat tour. We were beginning to think they were not really in Costa Rica. thank you
MaryAnn, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We were almost the only people there. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the tours organised from the lodge were excellent and both overran their projected time considerably. Food was fair but not special.

Cano Negro

The registration people were quite helpful and friendly; they spoke English well. The guides provided on the tours taken were not well trained to interact with groups. Their English language skills were marginal, and their biological explanations were lower in quality than other guides we had used at other sites. The roads leading to this place were washboard-like for hours, making travel challenging. One would really want to see this place to put up with such road conditions.

Perfect!

We arrived late and the staff was happy to wait for us to check in-we weren't able to arrive on-time. They also were happy to start breakfast for us TWO HOURS EARLY as we left the hotel at 0600 to go fishing. The staff was VERY friendly and accommodating.

Der Einäugige unter den Blinden... im Niemandsland

Das Hotel ist wohl das beste in Cano Negro, bietet aber leider immer noch relative wenig. Besonders ärgerlich sind die Preise, die sie für Exkursionen verlangen - im Ort kann man selbst für den halben Preis dieselbe Leistung bekommen. Ohne Exkursionen gibt es im Hotel überhaupt nichts zu tun. Wir hatten zwei Nächte gebucht (und gezahlt), sind aber schon nach der ersten wieder abgereist. Als kurzer Abstecher ok, aber auch keinen Fall für einen längeren Aufenthalt geeignet.

Simple rooms. Awesome area. Canoeing tour with Jimmy is a must do. Good food and reasonable priced.

Okay, but overpriced

We enjoyed the area, but probably would have appreciated it more if there wasn't a drought. not much to do other than be on the water. It was definitely overpriced for other comparable lodges in rural Costa Rica.

Empfehlung

Ruhige und gepflegte Anlage, mit Pool, an dem man nach der Fahrt durch die Kanäle den restlichen Tag entspannen kann (auch, wenn die Liegen etwas unbequem sind). Nur 10 Gehminuten vom Bootsanleger entfernt. Gutes Essen, etwas Geduld darf man gern mitbringen, da der nette Kellner allein etwas überfordert schien.
