"This property is brand new and gorgeous. The bungalows are so cute. It was plenty of space for a family of 6, especially bc if we felt cramped we could walk to the bar/restaurant and hang out. The pool was small but my kids enjoyed themselves! The owner, manager and all the staff were amazing - very kind and attentive. The setting is amazing. You’re in the middle of the jungle, gorgeous scenery and plants, and tons of monkeys and toucans in the trees right outside. Definitely recommend!"

"Fabulous experience. if you want the wild/lodge experience but still a staffed hotel with a bunch of services then this is for you! We were in the middle of the wilderness, with birds and sloths on site, but still had room service/clean up and buffet style breakfast and a pool! Absolutely recommend. good distance to all the sites/activity but far enough from the tourist trap that is la fortuna!"
