It was quiet and comfortable. The charm of the room made the stay very relaxing. We didn’t miss not having a television. The internet was slow so don’t expect to get any work done if you planned on working instead of enjoying the nearby beach.

The hostess was nice but due to having no windows it was extremely hot in the room at night. Also the owner has dogs that like to bark when anyone drove by no matter the hour. Luckily the hostess worked with us and let us cancel our reservation to find a more quiet place that had windows and ac.

Great experience

Hotel is located in the “jungle” It’s better to have a car because to the city is 1 hour walking. On the other hand your “private” beach is just in front of the hotel access the road and crossing short distance in “jungle” 2 minutes from your room. The beach is wild, but empty with big waves, warm water also during the rain. The owners are super friendly and kind. They prepare breakfast according to your preferences. Room is clean quite well equipped. You’re in jungle, you should expect there are insects and bugs around.

Well this is my first time on that side of Costa Rica and my overall opinion of the property was OK the hot water worked and neither one of our rooms and nobody seem to care to fix it the breakfast was a little bit pricey most places include a free breakfast The beach was black sand not a very pretty beach no stores are close by and the walk to town is a good one I probably cannot stay there again due to the fact that it was too far from anywhere to eat but for the price it wasn’t bad the owner was a friendly lady

It was a great stay. I think initially after a day of travel we were jarred by the lack of ac but honestly you adjust easily. The host was very friendly and helpful. A very calm relaxing stay, nice place to go to if you truly want to detach from regular life.

Isabelle et Roberto sont très sympas. Leurs petits déjeuners maisons sont excellents et très consistants, avec notamment le plat local composé de riz et de haricots rouges. Leur jardin est un parc à lui tout seul que Roberto peut vous faire découvrir si vous en avez la curiosité. Les nombreux arbres fruitiers attirent toutes sortes d’oiseaux tropicaux que vous tenterez d’apercevoir dans les parcs nationaux. A ne pas rater si vous faites étape à Cahuita.

Hyggelig og rolig sted i naturomgivelser

Flott beliggenhet 100 meter fra en strand hvor vi aldri så noen andre. Litt halvslitne rom, men fint nok - senga knirket noe voldsomt. Hadde ikke kjøleskap på rommet, men kunne bruke det på felleskjøkkenet, 50 meter unna, så det funket greit. Vær forberedt på å bli vekket av brølapene i trærne utenfor ved soloppgang i 5-tiden. Nærmeste spisested ligger 1,5 kilometer unna, 20 minutters gange på en grussti gjennom skogen. Evt kjører man inn til Cahuita på 6-7 minutter. Bra wifidekning på terrassen, dårlig på rommene.

Bel endroits qui nécessiterait des travaux

L emplacement est tres chouette en face d une plage sauvage et deserte. Helas les logements nécessiteraient une remise en états, tout est vieillissant, les litteries sont en mauvais états. La promiscuité des chambres et du logement des propriétaires crée un environnement bruyant.

This place was the worst. The bed was so bad my back aches the next day, you can literally see the springs through the thread bare linens. The blankets were so used, I wouldn’t expect my dog to sleep on them. We came back one afternoon to termite waste on our bed, it was more than we could take. We happily walked away from the entire weeks pre-payment with no regrets. We use VRBO all the time, and this was without a doubt the worst place we have ever stayed at.

Viaje Familiar

El servicio del personal es excelente, lo q hizo la estadía muy bonita para toda la familia. La ubicación es excelente, a pasos de Playa Negra (25 metros). La razon principal para no calificar este Hotel como excelente es el la falta de privacidad en los cuartos, ya que lo q los divide son simples cortinas y hacia falta un mejor equipamiento en los utensilios de cocina. Teniendo en cuenta las altas temperaturas y alta humedad en el caribe de Costa Rica, tener aire acondicionado adicional estaria acorde al precio q se paga actualmente y haria la estadía un rotundo 100.

La cabaña es muy amplia y cómoda, rodeada de naturaleza. Los dueños son muy amables. La zona en general es muy caliente y húmeda por lo que se requiere de un buen ventilador (aire acondicionado casi no manejan en la zona), desafortunadamente el de nuestra habitación no funcionaba y al ser un lugar tan alejado de la capital no pudieron mandarlo a arreglar.

Relaxing beachfront stay

A lovely, relaxing place to stay right on the beachfront. Stayed in the cottage and it is very well equipped for a little getaway home from home, while the regular rooms seem perfectly comfortable for short trips or where self catering option isn't needed. The owner, Isabelle, is also very friendly and welcoming. Would recommend!

Sehr schöne Lodges in grandioser Lage.

Isabelle and Roberto manage the lodge carefully and very friendly. The photos correspond to reality. The breakfast is appealing, tasty and good. The whole property is clean and well maintained. Only minus point: wifi is weak to very weak. The location is grandiose. It is only a few meters to the wonderful lonely beach over a hardly used field road. The lodges are rustically furnished. The decisive: Location, location, location! Again and again gladly!
