Cons: 1) Our bungalow was full with red ants - hotel just shared with us chemical spray and we spent a few hours spraying all areas with ants in our bungalow. And still at night they comes to our beds. Very inconvenient. 2) The road to the hotel from the main highway is too bumpy and hard to pass if you have small car. 3) Bathroom is included to the bungalow but technically it is open for outside and you are taking a shower and doing all other things outside with insects. Pros: 1) Friendly staff. 2) Good breakfast with nice views. 3) Very natural experience and good quality beds and rooms equipment.

A safe location off the road near Tarcoles. The area was high and dry when we visited in February. They arranged a guide for tour in nearby Carrara NP.

Our stay was ok. I have to say that like other reviews the pizza at restaurant was good, but that was about it. Though the server was trying, she forgot almost every item we ordered and had to ask for each thing multiple times. The room was fine, and the private but outdoor shower and toilet was a unique feature. If the shower was not freezing and only dribbling out I might have enjoyed it. With nothing to do in the area after dark we attempted to watch the tv, but it did not work. We did see macaws and monkeys up close around the restaurant which was a highlight.

The room was super comfortable. The food is delicious. Most of the staff were great too. It did have some downsides for me. -very difficult without a private car. Shuttle buses dont go there, no local buses, no local taxis, hotel wont organise one. Hard to get to. -Dominated by tour groups. -They feed the scarlet macaws by hand and also the capuchin monkeys with great heaps of fruit each morning encouraging them to come within 1 meter of visitors. It clearly alters their behaviour. I don't think this is ethical and is very different to what I experienced everywhere else in Costa Rica where people go to great lengths to keep wildlife wild. It made me embarrassed to be a tourist.

On arrival at check in, the property and surrounding area had no electricity so it was a disappointment. Hotel offered free breakfast to compensate. Other than this, it was a pleasant stay especially we can to see many birds including 3 large macaws feeding at breakfast place
