The hotel is beautifully located within the jungle, offering an authentic experience surrounded by stunning nature. The rooms were decent, with air conditioning, but had issues with big black ants. The service was exceptional, with helpful front of house staff going above and beyond to assist. The dining options were not the best, with limited choices, but dinner stood out. Overall, a great spot for nature lovers but in need of some maintenance.

I stayed at the hotel which had some positives and negatives. The rooms had 2 large single/small double beds but unfortunately, I encountered over 5 spiders during my stay. The room decor was minimal and uncomfortable despite the price paid, and there was a humid smell present with no mini fridge available.

The service was a bit of a mixed bag. The staff catered well to vegans but quoted astronomical prices multiple times. However, they promptly moved us to a different room when we raised concerns about the smell, though it wasn't entirely pleasant.

The location of the hotel was quite lovely, situated amidst nature with amazing trails, trees, flowery bushes, a river, and diverse wildlife like birds and mammals. The hanging bridges and chance encounters with toucans along the river were particularly enjoyable.

The dining experience offered a mix of typical and American items, although some dishes were fried or slightly burnt. The overall quality was decent, but there were a few misses, and the marmalade wasn't up to par.

The hotel is situated in a park-like area next to the Tarcolito River, offering a picturesque setting despite the room appearing a bit run-down. The rooms could use more amenities like a wardrobe, but the location by the river is lovely.

The hotel seems to cater more towards visitors on full board packages, offering limited dining options. However, the setting next to the river and lush forested areas adds a unique charm.

The hotel is conveniently located next to Tarcoles River, offering beautiful trails and a variety of wildlife. The rooms, though in need of a sweep and with thin walls, are overall clean and provide a basic level of comfort. Dining options are plentiful but slightly overpriced, although the experience is enjoyable. Ideal for nature lovers seeking a riverside retreat.
