I found a dead lizard in my room. Another lizard kept coming into my room from the heat exchange housing. There was construction on the property from 7AM-4PM everyday. And the walls definitely were not sound proofed.

My wife and I recently stayed 6 nights at the Sunshine Sanctuary. There were things that we loved & things we feel would make for a better experience. We Loved… Location is exceptional!! We especially enjoyed breakfasts in the lookout where you felt like you were living in a treehouse with all the animals that CR offers. A variety of daily breakfasts. Rooms are spacious with a great view. Easy trail access to waterfalls. What would’ve made for a better experience… Better quality linens. Towels were a bit thin & rough. The building was under construction so there was no Yoga studio which wasn’t communicated prior to our arrival. Poor Wi-Fi in rooms. The cable service (TV) did not work for the first 4 nights. The room was spacious but lacked hooks to hang bathing suits, etc. A retractable close line in the shower would have been fine. Most importantly…we would definitely stay here again!

This was a very nice place to stay but wasn’t super clean and the breakfast was just a bowl of fruit. But it was very cute and the property was awesome with the bridge and waterfall.

Better be in great shape
I think there should have been more of an emphasis on the many stairs that one needed to negotiate. Some of us seniors are young at heart, but not in the greatest shape. I for instance could not negotiate the stairs without my husbands help.

The property has a LOT of potential, the landscaping needs more plants to hide pipes, and dead vines need out of the trees. The driveway into the hotel needs some dirt to fill in ruts. Swinging bridge needs lights in the night. The positive the hotel has a nice view, the rooms were clean, the staff was very nice.

A beautiful small quiet hotel in the middle of the jungle! Great, clean room with an excellent view and easy access to town! Free access to Montezuma waterfall trial from Sunshine Sanctuary property. Good breakfast and lots of wildlife right on the property!
