WHATEVER YOU DO. DO NOT STAY HERE. I REPEAT DO NOT STAY HERE. THE FOOD IS OLD, STALE, HORRIBLE, I ASKED FOR CLEAN TOWELS AND THE OWNER AND I GOT INTO A SHOUTING MATCH. HE EVEN TOLD ME GO BACK TO AMERICA. WE CHECKED OUT AN ENTIRE DAY EARLIER AND WAS CHARGED A 25$ US CANCELLATION FEE. FOR WHAT??? Only God knows. STAY AWAY FROM THERE. ITS DESERTED, NOTHING TO DO AND NOT AS DESCRIBED AS IN THE PUCTURES ON THE WEBSITE.

Not a resort for family with kids
Desk staff was rude. I booked three adults through Expedia but had no proof and hotel said I only had reservations for two and wanted to charge me an additional $700 for the third person. Breakfast was any kind of processed meat they could get from the garbage. The fruit was local and great. Will return to Costa Rica but would never recommend this resort. The bedding and pillows stunk. No coffee maker in huts.

Great spot to be away from it all.
Card machine for paying bills seems to always be offline and not working. The hotels grounds where beautiful and he staff was great. The rooms let in mosquitoes by the hundreds it seems like. Doors always closed and no windows open. Every night we had to hide under the sheets to keep from getting eaten alive.

A beautiful jungle retreat
We truly enjoyed our stay at this off-the-beaten-path property. Tucked away along the coastal highway, it is in close proximity to the many beautiful beaches and waterfalls of Osa province. We were given excellent advice on nearby sights by the resort owner. The resort bungalow was roomy, well built, and contained a small kitchen that was a huge bonus to my family. The included breakfast was delicious and the service wonderful.

So so
It's a lovely setting in the jungle but very muggy of course and the fans in the room can only help a little. We did see a very big and healthy cockroach as we were unpacking though. We informed the front desk of our roommate and they sprayed the room. When we returned, it was laying dead in the bathroom. You definitely need a car here! It's longer than 3km to Matapalo beach.

Rainforest Bungalow
This place is awesome! Highly recommend. The staff are all very friendly, and the grounds are immaculate. You will legitimately feel like you are living in the rainforest. Go ahead and spring the extra $$ for the private bungalow- well worth it! The road to La Palapa is very bumpy, but our 2WD Toyota Yaris managed it just fine.

Beautiful Place to Stay
I was looking for a place to stay close to Dominical and booked this at the last minute. It cam up as The Deal of the Day. So glad we stayed there. It was beautiful, charming, clean, green and the staff was great. I'd highly recommend it.

Excellent hotel, great staff, very well located
Great location, super close to the fabulous 'Praia Linda'. It was a great base to visit the Pacific Coast and Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio. The Hotel staff is very friendly, rooms are very nice and the Hotel is truly located inside the tropical forest. Really recomend it for nature lovers who also enjoy good comfort and premium location. Excellent value for money.

Costa Rica is not for everyone! :)
CR has many different lodging options. This is def an "ecolodge". You will hear animals,find bugs plus more in CR. If you want 5 star accomm do not stay at an ecolodge! If you are going to stay at one this is good place.loved all the beauty in the gardens. The owner has invested alot into the grounds. There is even a nice hiking trail & waterfall on the property.I also liked how he had a ton of signs all over the property directing which way to go.owner is a very knowledgeable man We had many conversations with him& enjoyed his stories as well as help with activities & area. He may have a strong personality for some but he really does not intend to be rude. We were fine once we understood his personality type. He was nice to my family.The breakfast was VERY tasty as well as one of the best that we've had on our travels in CR. Beans/rice,eggs, fresh fruit & 3 different types of homemade bread along with 2 amazing jams!! (Yum!) The coffee & fresh juice was also a nice addition to bfast. He offers a nice dinner f (best meal in 10 days!) Dined both nts of stay. Make sure to ask what he is preparing for the eve.There is a not a menu to choose from. Also food can be expensive in CR. There is a 10% gratuity + 12% tax added on. 1st nt we had 3 plates & 2nd nt we had 4 plates. I pd a extra $129- US dollars at ck out for meals. Also Pd expected extra $100 @ ck in. Was told expedia reservation was just for 2 ( had 2 kids w/us)So I was very dissapointed I had to pay more $!!:(
