Amazing property, so many little nooks to discover. Close to cloud forest. Definitely one of the highlights of the vacation
Sasheen, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved our stay! Their breakfast was very delicious. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The view spectacular! Their on site restaurant was delicious just a little pricey. The staff was very helpful. Our only complaint was the many bugs that are able to come in the rooms and the fact that our garden view room had no AC. We were afraid to open the porch doors because of the many little creatures and there was no screen to keep them out. But it was beautiful!!

This place is AMAZING!! Their dedication to conservation is admirable and they are doing a great job. The property made it hard to leave as it had everything you need. There were hiking trails to waterfalls, great views, and opportunities to see wildlife. Additionally the room was spectacular and the onsite restaurant was one I will definitely come back for. The farm to table ingredients were amazing and healthy.

We like this place as the room is clean and the view from the restaurant is fantastic! It's a very nice property with trails and waterfalls to walk around. It's quietly located but still convenient to go to the town area. We enjoyed the hammock garden a lot!
