Welcoming and friendly staff who cooked breakfast and dinner as we like it. The secluded location off the beaten track. As we were early in the season, we had the whole resort for ourselves (the staff left during the day and the night, which felt a bit strange during the first night as we wondered whether we were safe).

We had a wonderful stay here for e few nights. The hotel rooms were great and very comfortable. The pools and the restaurant were outstanding. What we loved the most is the shuttle and the provided chairs at the nearby beach by the hotel. The Playa Carrillo was on our whole trip the most beutiful beach of Costa Rica we have seen so far. We enjoyed our stay here so much, thank you!

Amazing location. Laura add staff were friendly and kind. Food was great. As special place. Will absolutely go back.

This hidden estate is the perfect spot for a memorable New Year’s celebration with family. Thoughtfully designed, it offers absolutely stunning views of the sea, surrounded by lush nature that feels like a private slice of paradise. The estate is alive with vibrant wildlife—parrots, monkeys, frogs, and more—which creates a magical yet peaceful atmosphere. The jungle lodge is impeccably clean, with every detail thoughtfully designed. A perfect blend of comfort and nature truly exceptional! The breakfast was a delight, with fresh bread, homemade jams, and perfectly cooked eggs bursting with flavor. Every bite felt like a warm embrace, showcasing the care and passion of such a wonderful host. The attention to detail and the use of fresh, high-quality ingredients truly made the mornings unforgettable. It’s the kind of hospitality that stays with you long after your visit. Ernesto recommended Aromas restaurants a local spot offering the best food I’ve had in Costa Rica—on par with Europe’s finest. A must-visit for food lovers!

This place is like heaven, perched on top of a hill, with a breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean. The surrounding countryside is sublime, populated by howler monkeys, and crossed by rare tracks, which gives the impression of being lost at the edge of the world. The beach of San Miguel, 5 minutes away by car, is stunning and very clean, and we hardly see anyone. There are some very good places to dine in the area. And finally, Corinne and Laurent's friendly welcome is irreproachable: two adorable people who take care of their guests, very communicative and warm, while knowing how to remain discreet. We spent 3 wonderful days there, surely the best of our trip to Costa Rica.
