Very calm, authentic and in nature

10.0

It feels like you are staying inside the jungle it’s really great, I had the whole lodge to myself, I slept really well, Elise the one managing the property was super sweet. It’s very calm and it feels authentic. Also the location is great, pretty close to Santa Teresa without having the craziness of the town. Also the beaches in Malpaìs are sooo nice and with way less people

I felt lonely, it’s not great if you want to meet people, but it’s ok, it’s good to disconnect

Really lovely place to stay, 5 minute walk to the beach, nice and clean and very peaceful. The lady who owns it was so nice and made us feel super welcome. The pool was perfect and just outside our room, plus the whole place is surrounded by wildlife.
