I would stay again! I saw so much wildlife, fruit trees and tropical flowers. I loved it! Thank you! ##### Leslee Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eddie 27 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Private, Bungalow type setting. The room was well equipped, with internet, air conditioning, plenty of excellent coffee on hand. Morning times were what my wife and I really enjoyed. A fantastic breakfast complete with plenty of excellent chilled, fresh fruit, and excellent company with the owner and his family. Monkey’s, Turkeys, Toucans, and a friendly little Hummingbird that would appear every morning, buzzing around close by as she enjoyed breakfast with us! Needless to say, we plan on returning next March. Fantastic experience. ##### Eddie Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dora 21 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff was very helpful and attentive. They gave us a booklet full of available tours in our area, and even helped book them for us. The breakfast they provide was also phenomenal. By far the best casado we’ve had in all of Costa Rica. There were toucans by the dining area as well, and the river right beside us made it even more pleasant. Things are available walking distance, but it’s probably best if you have transportation to get around. We would definitely be staying here again. ##### Dora Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Edouard 29 Mar 2024 ##### Edouard Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Isabelle 23 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Isabelle Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamarindo-Hotels-Hotel-Tamarindo-Diria-Beach-Resort.h1108151.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Manoa & Hot Springs Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Manoa-Hot-Springs-Resort.h1671981.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Heliconias Nature Inn & Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penas-Blancas-Hotels-Heliconias-Nature-Lodge.h8386216.Hotel-Information) > > [Cloud Forest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Monteverde-Cloud-Forest-Lodge.h2050850.Hotel-Information) > > [Koora Hotel by Sandglass](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Aguti-Lodge-Reserve.h33594530.Hotel-Information) > > [Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Tabacon-Thermal-Resort-Spa.h1142389.Hotel-Information) > > [Poas Volcano Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vara-Blanca-Hotels-Poas-Volcano-Lodge.h5259118.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Corcovado Jungle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Drake-Bay-Hotels-Casa-Corcovado-Jungle-Lodge.h19460167.Hotel-Information) > > [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > > [The Springs Resort and Spa at Arenal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monterrey-Hotels-The-Springs-Resort-And-Spa-At-Arenal.h2307339.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Iceland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Iceland.d79.Hotel-Destinations) > > [The Royal Corin Thermal Water Spa & Resort - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-The-Royal-Corin-Thermal-Water-Spa-Resort.h2486262.Hotel-Information) > > [Nayara Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Nayara-Gardens.h2190965.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Seoul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Seoul.h11918302.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Tamarindo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamarindo-Hotels-Wyndham-Tamarindo.h10356916.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Los-Lagos-Spa-Resort.h1312339.Hotel-Information) > > [Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamarindo-Hotels-Jardin-Del-Eden-Boutique-Hotel-Adults-Only.h2818928.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Kokoro Mineral Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Kokoro-Mineral-Hot-Springs.h3073878.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Split](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Split-Hotels.d3255.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Villa Lapas Jungle Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaco-Hotels-Villa-Lapas-Jungle-Village.h1330482.Hotel-Information) > > [Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Samara-Hotels-Azura-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h20586535.Hotel-Information) > > [The Oxfordshire Golf Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Thame-Hotels-The-Oxfordshire-Golf-Hotel-And-Spa.h4032729.Hotel-Information) > > [El Remanso Rainforest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-El-Remanso-Lodge.h11640675.Hotel-Information) > > [MarriottHotelsResorts Hotels in London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Marriott-Hotels-Resorts.0-0-d178279--bMarriottHotelsResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Belmar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Belmar.h37178213.Hotel-Information) ### Packages > [Cayman Islands](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cayman-Islands.d33.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Skiathos Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skiathos-Town.dx6062889)
