This is a stunner of a place! The grounds are tropical gardens and each cabin is gorgeously designed with local and recyclable materials. breakfast in the garden is divine and dinner in the evenings is hearty with local farm fresh products. To top it all off the owners are so delightful and truly welcoming. A fabulous stay- one we hope to return to!

This location is a bird watching, listening, paradise. The cabins are surrounded by lush vegetation and trees. The owner Cede is very friendly and accommodating. We had dinner and breakfast and both were delicious and reasonably priced. We stayed here Friday Nov. 8, 2024 and were the only guest due to the rainy season. Would love to return when it is NOT raining. The rooms were clean and spacious. A great place to stay and easy to get to with good roads. We toured the chocolate farm before we arrived here and would recommend that you include tis in your travel plans.

Great place. We had a wonderful time at this awesome, family owned/operated hotel. We had an incredible dinner off their special Christmas menu - prepared by the owned and served by his wife and nephew. The rooms were rustic, but very clean and comfortable. We would come back again!

The hotel owners are exceptional human beings, Yves and Siri are caring and down to earth. The chef Yves cooked some extraordinary meals for us using all organic and natural herbs. The staff is really helpful. The pool size is good.
I recommend this hotel if you like nature and good food😊
Breakfast included.
Price was adequate.
Probably the best dinner of my two week trip throughout Costa Rica.

Die Finca ist ein wunderschöner Ort mitten in der Natur, die Bungalows sehr ansprechend und mit Liebe zum Detail gestaltet. Es waren frische Blumen im Zimmer, alles war sauber und zum wohlfühlen.
Sehr gute Küche; die Produkte werden auf der Finca angebaut und kommen frisch auf den Tisch. Guter Service auf unaufgeregte Art in entspannter Atmosphäre. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt dort sehr genossen.
