Cantón Santa Bárbara Holidays

Nice hot spring outside of the room

Property is built so beautifully within the vegetation and trees. We received two rooms apartment (like two entire flats one on top of the other, with 2 bathrooms, which was very convenient with two teenagers) - which was very fine furnished, cosy, clean, and maintained. From our balconies we could watch the birds and so many cute Caoties. Breakfast was delicious, as well as lunch and dinner that we have decided to have in the hotel. Chef is excellent!! Very nice and welcoming staff. We really enjoyed staying at the hotel. Very recommended

I thought everything was very nice and a great location. Totally safe, totally fun, totally relaxing.

The place is amazing. Is the perfect Costa Rica escape. You have a desert beach a few steps away from you room, the pool is incredible and the isolated vibes is perfect to disconnect from the world. Friendly staff and a big shout out to Diana, the owner, who is very careful and welcoming. The room is great, comfortable and spacious. The only note we have is regarding the shower: the shower wasn’t the best, it was lacking some maintance. Other watch out for people is that to get to the hotel you need to drive by a 5km unpaved road, so it takes a while and make things a bit far, but if you are looking for a disconnection I couldn’t recommend a better place. 100% would stay again.

If you want to be right in the middle of nature and wildlife this is the place to go. Most of the resort is raised up into the treetops so you can be eye level with creatures you'd usually only see way above you from the ground. The included hikes and birdwatching were wonderful with very knowledgeable and passionate guides. We also arranged a day trip to Corcovado by boat through the lodge in advance, seems pricey at first but was well worth it. Over the course of a week we saw sloths (lodge & Corcovado), monkeys (everywhere), tapirs (Corcovado), ant eaters (lodge and Corcovado), coatis (lodge), frogs and lizards (lodge) and so many different birds (everywhere). We chose a forest bungalow room which is just screened in from the outside. I was a bit worried the lack of AC might make it too hot to sleep, but at the end of April the fans in the room were enough to keep us comfortable over night. No need for alarm clocks, the howler monkeys will get you up every day. Overall a fantastic nature focused lodge that combines the ability to relax with adventure.
