This is a beautiful property. The room was comfortable (super hot water in the shower!) and the breakfast was good (try the banana bread!). There are hiking trails on the property. We saw monkeys and a variety of birds. Warning: don't show your teeth to the monkeys and keep your distance. They can be quite aggressive. One other note: don't leave any food out in your room. We made that mistake and attracted tons of sugar ants.

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!

The property is set in a beautiful location. The restaurant on the property was good, but it took a while for the food to arrive. Our biggest complaint for the property was that when we went to the bed, we found our bed towards the foot to be wet, and had a musty smell. It seems there might have been some leak in the room. By the time we realized the bed was wet, the office had already closed, so we couldn’t get help. We wanted to love the property because it is set in a beautiful location and we loved the idea of farm to table meal. Also, the night walk was great. Unfortunately, the wet bed and musty smelling towels in the bathroom makes it unlikely that we would return.

In touch with nature

Location is superb for vistas and wonderful dining experiences. Lodging and grounds were comfortable. Birding from the balcony was also a unique experience. Coatimundi and agouti were seen about the property. Night walk and nearby Butterfly Gardens provided such interesting and surprising facts about the cloud forest.
