We were very excited to stay at the property based off of the reviews we read when planning our trip. I was disappointed with our room. It was not very clean and it’s needs a lot of TLC. We did love seeing the monkeys on our way to breakfast.

We stayed with the magnificent trees of Costa Rica. Monkeys sometimes visited our patio with butterflies dancing below. The staff was warm, eager to make us feel welcome, prepared yummy local breakfast, and connected us to wonderful tours. It felt like we were in a living painting. We are grateful for all the conservation efforts from the locals so the world can have safe breaths. Gracias. Pura Vida.
