The view were incredible! We saw huge double rainbows and even rainbows at night! The cabins are very well-situated and private, located a quick walk into town. We spent two days here and it was the perfect amount of time to explore this beautiful area.

Rooms were nice, simply a place to stay, but what made the visit amazing was Lili She was incredible, gave us great tips, discounted tours, cooked breakfast and was such a nice and wonderful soul to be around. The house is a 10 minute walk from the city center of Santa Elena but the stay was really nice and I loved that there was a kitchen too

Carlos carlos carlos...he is as amazing host as the place! We love them all the same.. and also his wife Elena. If you don't stay here you're missing out on life! We didn't want to leave this place. Oh by the way the food was also lovely. He knows what is spicy what you ask him what is spicy! Don't go without the argentina pizza and cas juice! One of our best accommodation out of 100s of countries! Pura Vida!

We absolutely loved the place. The Tiny house is modern and has everything you might want including a hot tub and a fire place. The views from the observation platform are incredible. The hosts were really friendly and have thought of every to the smallest detail. They even left us fresh eggs, milk and juice, coke and beer and a bottle of bubbly which was a welcome surprise. Highly recommend the Amalu resort.

Everything. We saw more wildlife from this property than in the nature reserve! The welcome is warm, the bed is so comfortable. It’s peaceful. We had a lovely time. Marcella is just the most wonderful hostess. We had everything we needed. It’s walking distance to a fabulous nature reserve that does great tours.
