For the price point during peak season, our bungalow with its own jacuzzi all surrounded by amazing flora and situated at a fair distance from other nearby bungalows, with its own on-prem cute bar, located on a relatively quiet street, about 5 minutes by car from La Fortuna waterfall, was excellent.

Juan, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This place was phenomenal!!!! Private bungalows, private hot tubs, private swings and balcony, in the middle of the rainforest! A nice restaurant and bar on the property. A 10 min walk to the river. About a mile from La Fortuna Waterfall and near a ton of hot springs (may need to drive or uber to these, but I think the hotel would get you ride if you asked). Cannot recommend enough!
