En general el lugar parece un paraiso. Karla, la anfitriona, tuvo un trato muy bonito y una excelente atención. El unico detalle es que es necesario mejor señalizacion para llegar al refugio. La carretera es de lastre y el GPS puede que dé las direcciones incorrectamente. Mucho cuidado con cruzar el rio! No lo hagan!!También los domos necesitan un poco de mantenimiento. Olian a humedad y el agua se filtraba por algunas paredes y/o ventanas. Hay muchos zancudos, asi que lleven repelente. A pesar de estos inconvenientes, yo regresaria de nuevo 👍
If you’re planning to escape the city’s chaos, this is the perfect place to do it. Waking up to the soothing sounds of birdsong and the gentle cascading of a waterfall is an incredible experience. The staff, including Eric and Carla, are incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful.
The only inconvenience is that it’s located far from everything and everyone. If you plan on doing any activities in Costa Rica, make sure to plan ahead. Moving around there would be easy with a car.
They offer an authentic Costa Rican meal every day. Additionally, they provide hiking activities guided by a certified guide with extensive knowledge.
El personal es increíblemente amable y el lugar ofrece una conexión con la naturaleza my hermosa. Lo recomiendo mil por mil. El sabor de la comida excelente también
