10/10 Exceptional
9 June 2018
I had booked two nights and ended up staying four because I liked it there so much. The rustic cabins are decently sized- I was alone- and clean. There's a bed, a small kitchen area, bathroom, and TV. It's located about 2-3 km from Puerto Viejo. I walked to town for the exercise and enjoyment and it's about 1/2 hour walk. What really sells this place is the owners. They are the NICEST people in the world. They picked me up from the bus station, they drove me to town whenever I wanted, they gave me a tour of all the local beaches, they made me whatever I wanted for breakfast, invited me to eat lunch with them...all this of course without charging me. They are really good people and I felt so at home and taken care of. If you speak Spanish you will have wonderful conversations with them. They are open and all embracing. I spent hours conversing and it was not a typical hotel experience. They totally respect your privacy, but if you want to hang out and just chat, they are there. They have a nice sized property with lots of fruit trees (many unknown to me from the US) which they will share with you. I also saw toucans, hummingbirds, and lots of other birds on the property, beautiful poison dart frogs, and awoke to the sound of howler monkeys twice. If I ever have the good fortune of returning to the area, I would definitely stay there again. They make you feel so welcome.
