Guest Reviews:

- "I had the most wonderful experience at this lodge. Everything is perfect, the bungalows are modern and clean, the bed is so comfortable, the bathroom is exceptional. I would sit and stare at the amazing view mountain and sea view from my bungalow most evenings. My bungalow even had a bed with a built in large flat screen TV that would retract in and out of the bed frame. The site also had a wonderful infinity pool, a bar and eating area where lovely breakfasts are being serviced. The lodge also has a hot tub hut with a relaxing hot tub. All in all a very peaceful and relaxing experience and its close enough to Tamarindo or another nearby beach that have a large variety of bars and restaurants with a vibrant atmosphere. Lolo who is the owner of the lodge provides a wonderful service and make sure you are happy and comfortable at all times and is always up for a fun chat :) The BEST news is that the road to the lodge has now been fixed so it is comfortably accessible for all cars! You cannot go wrong with this lovely piece of paradise."

Also loved having a restaurant on site that served up amazing brunch, coffee, and fresh orange juice. Rates were reasonable and the location was great, within walking distance to markets, restaurants, and the beach.
