The place was beautiful, the people were extremely nice, and the food was delicious. The room we stayed at was as expected, simple but clean. The only complaint was that some ants seemed to have snuck in and found the toilets clean water attractive. Even that wasn't too bad since the ants only did it super late at night and the owners said they would address it. If you like birds then you'll find a handful of very interesting sounding birds living on the premises. They are quiet at night, but will be a lovely alarm clock when the sun rises.

Beautiful litle lodge of cabanas around a pound. The place needs to do some updates and renovations as some bed don't have plugs to charge phones and the wifi is only available in the bar area which is limited since there is no cell network. The included breakfast is minimal. The great thing there is the location for touring Rincon de la vieja and leona falls.

This was my favorite place in Costa Rica. The staff went above and beyond and were so friendly! The cabin we were in had a pond/lake in front and streams behind. There were hikes right beside our cabin. The food was delicious! If they have their homemade pineapple jam when you are there make sure to have it.

Rustic, beautiful, perfect

Absolutely love staying here! Even the drive-in from the Liberia airport was beautiful and we saw so many monkeys along the way! You are very isolated in a little rustic log cabin that backs up to the national forest. There is one restaurant on site which actually had very good food and incredibly sweet service. The property is absolutely beautiful and perfect for somebody who is low maintenance, not looking for a lot of amenities, and just wants to enjoy nature and peace. Being a Being adjacent to rincón de la vieja and near La Leona waterfalls was very convenient. Absolutely would stay here again!

The roads leading to the property are in bad shape with potholes and unpaved sections. It's better to have 4x4 to come through.

Great service

Outstanding client service. Nice and calm place for hiding away from noisy city. Amazing landscape. Recomended definitly. Excelente servicio de Adrián en la recepción, Claudio y el Chef Oscar se esmeran en satisfacer siempre en la cocina. Un excelente lugar para huir del bullicio, en un paisaje magnífico en las faldas cercanas del magnífico Volcán Rincón de la Vieja. Recomendados.

The setting of the lodge is beautiful! It was so peaceful. We enjoyed the small pool. Our room was very clean. We ate breakfast and dinner in the restaurant. Food was delicious. There are upgrades being done in some of the rooms and bungalows. We would definitely return. Check in was so easy. Staff were very friendly. The locatio is so close to the National Park Rincon de la Vieja, wehich was wonderful to visit. If you enjoy the the serenity of getting away from the hustle of everyday life, this is a very nice retreat. We look forward to visiting again.

Beautiful property, but cottages are in need of some maintenance. The lock on our front door did not work - you could just push it open. I saw the biggest cockroach in my life in the bathroom at night. Rooms were HOT at night and the fan was old and not effective. Pool was maintained but small. Breakfast was wonderful and staff were great. I would not take the hike to the hot springs. The springs are definitely "Natural" not maintained and you cannot go in. I would turn around at the waterfall Hotel is off the beaten path, but again a beautiful property. Its a far drive to any towns, so ensure you bring water and snacks with you - although there are no fridges to store anything
