Spectacular … if you book this place it will spoil you for the rest of your trip. Private pool was amazing, outdoor kitchen was great for entertaining or simply to enjoy a home cooked meal. Many species of birds were seen on a daily basis - the beat being a dorante of toucans!! Thank you for the wonderful accommodations and view.

If you want peace and serenity, this is the spot! Amazing views, super quiet, nothing but sounds of nature! Our host Eric is a very friendly person and went out of his way for us and took us to a local waterfall that’s only know to the locals and we had an excellent day. Anything we needed, he was always there for us. Just an overall amazing stay! Thank you so much Eric

This was the perfect place to spend our honeymoon! The view is absolutely breathtaking in person, with the most diverse species of birds singing beautiful songs and flying all around the area. The suite was extremely clean and the pool was completely private, just for our unit. It was great to have AC and private parking. The kitchen was very well stocked, with a blender, stove, microwave, even a rice cooker! We also loved getting ice and filtered water right from the smart fridge. Eric was lovely to communicate with and was available to answer any questions. Since it’s in the mountains, I would recommend a car with four wheel drive to get up to the hotel. We didn’t have any issues with the road personally. 10/10 experience and highly recommend to any travellers in Ojochal!

I loved this property!!! It was private and well cared for. It was a beautifully designed, well thought out space. Loved the sunrises in the morning and the bird chatter all day! Private pool was so gorgeous. Had everything I needed. Owners were very accommodating. You DO need a 4 wheel drive for the drive way but once you figure it out it is easy. Will be back!!!!!

Getting there is half the fun! :-) As others have said, it's up, up, up a mountain, and then down a driveway, plus a lot of steps to the unit. But if you're used to Costa Rican roads, you'll have seen worse. The view is worth it, and so is the incredible waterfall/cave shower. Very romantic for a couple. Be aware that it is TWO units on top of each other, and we were in the bottom unit, but we still had plenty of privacy, peace, and beauty. The restaurants/shops at the bottom of the hill are wonderful...we will be back.

We stayed in the Superior Villa/Villa Agalla and the view was beautiful. The property felt secluded and we enjoyed our stay. This villa does need some maintenance, but overall a wonderful week. For example, the shower floor tiles are loose and will stick to to the bottom of your feet. We couldn't use the grill because it is charcoal but the bottom is burned out of it. There is no air conditioned common space, it is all open air. However, the bedrooms are air conditioned for a good nights sleep. If we return to the same area, we would definitely stay here again.
