The place is nice, simple, clean and enough to be comfortable. The owners are very kind and give a good service. You can see birds, hear the monkeys and rent a bike to go to the beach...which is not so far. More

Why the hell they all like this hotel?! It's not the hotel at all! As for me it was misrepresentation. Based on it's name I was expecting this one to be a hotel. In fact it was just cabinas. May be in sunny days it is ok to stay there but if you get there on rainy days you will... More

Simple, but totaly clean rooms under trees run by a very helpful and awesome couple. We stayed just one day, but for the next time it would be our first choice in the Puerto Viejo-region. More

Stayed here two nights with a traveling companion. Bed was a box spring with a contraption like a trampoline mat on it. I slept uncomfortably on it and found out after leaving that my friend had a real mattress in his room. The place is clean but the river is more of a mosquito haven and a yucky little creek.... More

Beautiful jungle setting. The turn off from the main road is about 1 km until you reach the lodge, or about a 10 minute walk. Stayed here with a friend, and we both had big, comfortable beds. It was quite cold and we asked for an extra blanket. The rooms were simple but very, very clean and the owner cleaned... More

Nina and Wolfgang are very welcoming hosts, along their two... More
