Paradise on Earth

10.0

Tout est parfait ! C’est le paradis sur terre! Certainement l’une des meilleures cuisines du Costa Rica sans parler du cadre idyllique et des activités à faire. Le personnel est aimable et c’est toujours un plaisir de revoir les propriétaires et d’échanger avec eux ! C’est notre troisième séjour au Costa Rica et c’est un lieu incontournable!

Rien !

Our room was at the edge of the jungle, the atmosphere and experience of staying here was very special. We loved it! Yoga with David on the yoga deck by the sea was absolutely wonderful!

Nothing.

Exceptionnel

10.0

L'hôtel isolé dans la jungle (à 100m de la mer) est un havre de paix. L'accueil ainsi que le service la part des différents membres est exceptionnel. Mes enfants ont pu pêcher (sur le quai, pas de coût supplémentaire), un jeune homme est resté en permanence avec eux. La nourriture est excellente, de qualité. La présence de nombreux animaux dans cette partie du Costa Rica est également un régal. Nous avons vu: ara rouge (les gros perroquets), serpents, caïmans, quelques petits mammifères, araignées, papillon morpho bleu, colibris, poissons vers le quai, même une baleine sur le trajet (de 30 min) en bateau. Compte tenu du service et du fait que ce soit pension complète, le rapport qualité-prix est finalement excellent. Clairement, une destination de rêve.

La plage est moins propice à la baignade qu'ailleurs: ce n'est pas du sable mais des cailloux.

Intimate, all the staff so friendly and knowledgeable. They can’t do enough for you. Felt like an adventure when coming to the lodge as you can’t see it until very close. Food amazing and great choices. They answered questions before arriving very promptly. Can’t recommend this place enough, a little slice of paradise
