    I liked everything

    This place is a total Jim nestled in the mountains near the Rio Celeste national Park! Their property also has access to a trail where you can swim in the rio Celeste. The food is really good there and a nice added bonus was a late evening frog tour through their jungle garden after dinner

    The food was lovely. The staff were lovely. The parrot was lovely. The views were lovely and the swimming was….you guessed it…..awesome. Would definitely recommend it if you are looking for an authentic Tico experience close to the magical river.

    The food is so tasty, the staff is very welcoming and the place is just beautiful. It got plants everywhere and full of birds. A must if you are going to visit the Parque Nacional Volcàn Tenorio and it's Rio Celeste.

    I think hot water and AC were the main amenities we missed but would still stay again.

    The staff working at the hotel was super nice! Francini the talking parrot was a great welcome too. Our room was spacious for 5 but did not have air conditioning for those that like it extra cold. It was cool with the windows open and 2 fans. We ate dinner at the hotel which was tranquilo and delicious. Meals were $7-10 USD which are the cheapest we've found in Costa Rica. We enjoyed a peaceful hike down the hotel road with several horses and lots of birds to watch. The hike to the river on their private land across the street was phenomenal. My 5 and 8 year old loved it, it was a little difficult for my non-athletic mom with lots of steep natural stairs down. I would absolutely recommend this place and come back.

    Remote, relaxing, and a lovely breakfast. Cabins are adequate and fair for the price paid. They are functional more than luxury. The staff/owners were friendly and very helpful. A short drive to town bars, restaurants, activities, etc..

    Great food on location. The staff are so wonderful - one of the ladies knocked on our door our first evening to see if we'd like to take a walk around to property to look for "ranas" (frogs). The property is lovely, peaceful, quiet, and the dog and parrot were so funny and sweet. Location could not have been better. The semi-private swimming hole was the highlight of our entire trip to CR. Entrance to the national park is a quick 3 min ride away

    The room was clean and the restaurant on site was great - we ate breakfast and dinner at the restaurant. The host, Geraldina, was friendly and easy to communicate with. We paid $4/pp to hike to the semi-private swimming hole on the Celeste river and it was magical. Would definitely recommend!

    The Wifi connection was quite poor in the cabins. It was a little bit hard to find the place because the booking location was pinpointed at a slightly different location.

    The hostess with her family were super friendly and even told us where to go in the vicinity of the cabins. Even the meals in the restaurant located on grounds were phenomenal.

    The wifi was pretty much unusable if you weren't in the restaurant or in one of the rooms closest to it. I was on cellular pretty much the whole time. The staff here also don't speak English, so definitely get your Google Translate ready for this place!

    The milkshakes there are the best I've had in all of Costa Rica! I will definitely take that with me to the grave. I've spent so much money here on all the milkshakes and the smoothies. The fruits here are definitely top tier. The room itself was also very comfortable. We were upgraded to a bigger room, and the beds were super comfy - the property also provides huge warm blankets as well that kept us nice and warm up in the mountains. There were so many birds around here too. Never a dull moment with them!

    Building work nearby. Also, being charged $5 to swim in the river. I'd expected it to be free, and also much closer than it was (there is about a 2km hike each way - mostly uphill on the way back).

    Very good restaurant, and others nearby.

    Walls are a bit thin so overhearing other guests was noticeable. Shower water could have been hotter but overall a solid choice.

    i was expecting a different room and the owner showed me all that is available and let me choose the closest one that fitted my need with no extra charge,

    The owner was simply wonderful and tried her best for us to be happy with everything. There was everything we needed in the room and the place is like little oasis in the middle of nowhere.
