Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Initially this hotel seems placed on the noisy main road with the dining room open to it. But the rooms are at a distance in the forest. Thus complete silence. The pool was very good and the food excellent. My room had a shower that worked but needed some attention to the head. Having put an expresso machine in the bedroom it seemed odd to only get one capsule when was staying three nights. Staff so helpful. Sarapiqui is an ordinary Costa Rican town away from the main tourist route and thus an experience in itself. White water rafting excellent.

Front desk and bar Restaurant service was great. the housekeeping not so good. Never the right towels or other supplies. No hot watert most of the time. Restaurant was excellent. Pleasant setting for rooms away from the street. Saw plenty of birds from my deck. This place is long in the tooth.
