The area is absolutely gorgeous. Surrounded by greenery, with turquoise pools and streams all around, an incredible garden, lots of birds... Just beautiful. So quiet too, nestled in the jungle, we slept so well.

The location is unfortunate, it's a long, bumpy ride away from anything interesting. Moreover, this was the 6th Booking of our trip, and the first where the price we were given upon arrival was higher than what appeared on our Booking, because of some supposed taxes that don't show up on our bill... And you can only pay cash. Lead to an awfully uncomfortable encounter with the owner, who is evidently not experienced in hospitality.

L emplacement superbe, chalet superbe piscine, haman, cascades dans un cadre enchanteur

Accueil lamentable. L hotel était fermé nous avons attendu 4 heures avant que le manager arrive. Pas aimable du tout Comme précisé sur booking, possibilité de payer par carte .... eh bien non, le terminal ne fonctionnait pas .... et avons du payer cash. Au moment du départ aucun social time. Dommage pour un si bel endroit

It was a pasable experience for one night but if you would like to stay longer or closer to civilazation i would recomme

7.0

The property itself was really beautiful buy located in a pretty run down area where you had to travel on a dirt road for about one hour for 20 km

It was clear that when we stayed in November the property wasn’t lived in and had a vibe that it was deserted also the grounds of the houses were pretty forsaken and not well kept

Magic silence

10.0

Magic silence to summarize in two words. It is a wooden cabin near a waterfall. The noise: the waterfall. This if the sound of waterfall can be called noise. The atmosphere is peaceful and the place is, aside from the beauty, very clean and good bed. They have a sauna too. The staff was very helpful and they recommended the best guide: Olman. Ask for him if you book there. By the end it is a SPA hidden by the foots of the Volcan Rincón de la Vieja. It was really easy to finde with Waze.

Beware of the car you rent, because there is a relatively long path with dirty roads. But all the roads were in good condition for a compact car.
