Karole is absolutely amazing. The apartment is on a family estate, it’s beautiful and very well furnished. We felt at home, far from the tourist area, in nature. We saw a lot of toucans and other amazing birds. Thank you so much. We had a blast!

The host Carol is a very friendly, talkative person. I couldn’t find the property because of the heavy rain and my phone didn’t have reception. I called Carol from a nearby restaurant and she came over to pick me up. Her property is pretty new, very clean, the rooms are generously big.

We just loved our short stay here! The lodge was beautifully made with so many nice details, realy showing some great skills. The kotchen was fully equippes although we did not use it. The owners were lovely people. And the welcome with wine and chocolate was amazing! Unfortunately it rained heavily for most of our stay but we had a small window to listen to and watch birds in the morning.

Such a nice family owned place. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The owners are amazing people, and they gave us a tour in their garden with nice plants including cacao and coffee, we also got to go for searching frogs there. Very recommended!

Our visit to this lodge was unforgettable!The rooms and all the property have a very special charm:) Everything was clean and very much thought about. We enjoyed the pool. The breakfast was amazing and plenty, they cooked eggs from their own chickens! Owners' hospitality was exceptional, it was pleasure to meet such a wonderful couple! We hike the trails and visited hot springs pool nearby. Highly recommend this place for families and couples, you will not regret:)

Wonderful hosts, beautiful home and gardens. The space they have created for guests to enjoy the tasty breakfast provided includes magnificent views! Regardless of whether you are looking up into the secondary forest hills (planted by our hosts) to create safe passage for some of the creatures we share our planet with, or watching some of these amazing creatures engage with the ponds full of tilapia OR if you are marveling at the craftsmanship and palpable reverence of the tree(s) evidenced in the many wonderful stairs, benches, bannisters, light fixtures, ceilings...WOW and that is all without getting the the Chocolate! The data rich documentation of each batch may contribute to it being some of the best chocolate you may ever have, all delivered on a beautiful wooden pedestal or wrapped in a paper cone - it is a Belgium/Costa Rica fusion. The Tree Chocolate farm tour (recommended by our host) was the highlight of our entire trip. It was incredibly rejuvenating to spend time surrounded by so many humans who demonstrate a responsible, thoughtful, regenerative way of co-existing with our natural world. At the Tree Chocolate farm, our tour guide (trained by the farmer, his mentor) provided a fantastically fun and informative tour through a 45 year old permaculture farm where we drank and ate chocolate and coconuts and enjoyed the tire swing in the pouring rain. I wish I had bought so many more bags of the Tree Chocolate's dark roast coffee, it transcends coffee and reaches the chocolate realm with a super smooth aftertaste of deep dark chocolate - OMG

    We enjoyed a lot our stay in this chalet, we were delighted of the amount of birds that were on site and the views all around. It’s a very private space and super peaceful, but it is still very close to places we wanted to discover and useful shops or services. I recommend it a lot ! Thank you guys

    The lodge itself was fine, a bit basic but it was very spacious with a nice deck. But what really makes it worth your stay is the beautiful garden!! Birds everywhere such as toucans, aracari and parrots but you can also see horses, lizards, butterflies and more. Elias is a really kind host who helped us book a wonderful night tour and we can also recommend the breakfast. Rio Celeste is just around the corner. Overall really great value for your money!!

Thanks to Ernesto and his wife for so much fun!

    Ernesto really exceeded our expectations. The hospitality was unforgetable. We got to know the farm and its surroundings and got a lot of infirmation abot Costarician agriculture, politics... The tradicional food was delicious. This stay was a big surprise. We felt very welcome!
