Nestled in a beautiful valley this property is very peaceful and gives a sense of intimate connection with nature while being very accessible by CR standards. This is a bird watcher paradise and everything is done to enhance the experience, from well appointed bird feeders to landscaping designed for colibris and butterflies and an open architecture that captures all the morning calls. Within the span of 2 days we observed more toucans than i can count, hummingbirds of multiple species in their continuous display, and were reacquainted with the striking Oriole in its “winter” dwellings. This is an enchanting spot. The host Andrey is very knowledgeable and an accomplished bird and nature photographer. Breakfast and dinner were well done by a professionally trained chef. Staff is extremely welcoming and helpful.

− Beds could benefit from a memory foam… they were a bit too firm for our taste.

Great spot that will get better and better

This lodge is totally devoted to birding. They have bird friendly plants all over the large property. There is even a banana plantation to grow bananas for the birds. I think it has been there five or six years and it is in the growing stage to become one of the top lodges for birding in Costa Rica. Fantastic staff, food is excellent. Be prepared to buzzed by hummingbirds all day :)

− It rained a lot when I was there

Fantastic

Huge room with a balcony over looking the garden. Is it possible to have a better breakfast, tea on the balcony with toucans in the garden The Hotel Manager is really helpful and service minded and he will help you with everything you need. Big rooms and there is a desk to work with your laptop if you have any bird pictures. Good internet! The only thing, I am alone so no problem. Very big room with an open floor plan and the bathroom is not exactly private. But if you are alone it is a very big and nice room. They arrange birding tours from the hotel and there are many birds in the area. Highly recommended and I will be back.

− The water could have been warmer
