Wohlfühlen in einer superschönen Anlage

Wir wurden super herzlich empfangen - und das obwohl das Hotel für diesen Tag eigentlich geschlossen hatte und es schon spät und dunkel war (ein Fehler auf booking.com hat die Buchung versehentlich möglich gemacht). Man hat uns trotzdem einen Bungalow fertig gemacht und sogar noch Essen gekocht😃!!! Die Lage im Dschungel sorgt für eine sensationelle Geräuschkulisse im Morgengrauen. Beim Frühstück konnten wir Vögel in allen Farben beobachten - in diesem wunderschönen Garten!!!!! Gerne wieder!

Gute Wahl!

Sehr schöne Lage umgeben von Wald (gute hoteleigene Trails), viele Vögel und eine coole Roof Top Bar, die sich auch für die Vogelbeobachtung eignet. Das Frühstück war ausserordentlich gut und unsere Kids liebten es, im Pool spielen zu können.

Zimmer etwas düster und kühl

Je suis déçu

Les fenêtres étaient des moustiquaires avec des trous. Le dîner cher et de mauvaise qualité et le ponpon, le petit déjeuner étant peu copieux j’ai demandé une tranche de pain en plus et pour 3 tranches de pain j’ai payé 3390 colónes. C’est scandaleux. Je déconseille fortement cet endroit.

Beau jardin mais déception quant à la chambre et le prix.

Magnifique jardin avec plantes, fleurs, arbres et une multitude d'oiseaux. Le lodge est entouré d'une forêt où l'on peut se promener et apercevoir des singes. Une zone commune détente très agréable en hauteur pour mieux voir les oiseaux.

Insonorisation quasi inexistante entre les chambres. On entend tous les voisins un peu bruyants. Salle de bain très sommaire avec une vasque dans la chambre. Le bol des toilettes fuyait. Chambre sombre, pas de chaise et peu de place pour poser les valises, les affaires. Une seule lampe de chevet. Pas de mobilier sur le petit espace extérieur de notre chambre.

Prima verblijf met fijne atmosfeer

Leuke huisjes in een prachtige tuin met veel vogels. Hele fijne atmosfeer en het ontbijt is heerlijk!

Het enige wat jammer was, en daar kan de accomodatie niks aan doen, was de muziek van buiten de lodge. Zodra die stopte was het weer genieten van de dierengeluiden

Schöne Anlage . Viele Vögel. Natur .

Sehr schöne Lage mit einen parkähnlichen Garten. Zimmer schon in die Jahre gekommen , aber nett hergerichtet und ansprechend. Viele Vögel in dem herrlichen Garten. Brüllaffen zu hören. Würde wegen der Lage das Hotel generell wieder buchen. Preislich könnte es etwas angepasster sein.

Unser Zimmer hatte nach vorne keine Fenster nur Insektengitter und Vorhänge. Diesbezüglich konnten wir die anderen Gäste bei ihren lauten Gesprächen hören.

Eenvoudig en schoon

De ligging vlak langs de Rio Sarapiqui en ruim 3 kilometer trails rondom de lodge zorgden voor vele vogelsoorten, apen, iguana’s en luiaards vlakbij onze kamers. De accommodatie is erg eenvoudig en gedateerd maar wel erg schoon en voorzien van het meest noodzakelijke. Via het vriendelijke personeel konden we eerder inchecken en een rafting tour boeken.

De bedden waren erg klein voor twee volwassen Nederlanders en daarbij erg hard en de veren waren duidelijk voelbaar. Het eten in het restaurant was goed maar de porties erg karig voor de gevraagde prijs, zeker wanneer je gewend bent geraakt aan de doorgaans grote porties die je geserveerd krijgt in Costa Ricaanse restaurants.

Sehr schöne Anlage mit sehr freundlichen Besitzern.

Die Lodge befindet sich in einem wunderschönen großen Garten in der Nähe des Flusses. Viele Vögel und auch Frösche sind leicht zu sehen. Etliche kurze Rundwege direkt auf dem sehr großen Grundstück sind vorhanden. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker, aber für Menschen mit größeren Appetit etwas knapp bemessen. Das Schwimmbad im Garten mit angenehmer Temperatur ist nach einem Ausflugstag ein Genuß.

Einfache Unterkunft in einer Holzhütte, in der nicht einmal Fensterscheiben waren.

Havre de paix !

Le cadre est splendide. La nature à portée de main. Petit dej très bon. Les hotes sont très gentils et arrangeants. Je recommande.

Malheureusement pour nous, il pleuvait bcp à cette période, les sentiers autour de l'hôtel étaient impraticables et remplis de moustiques... Nous sommes restés 1 nuit au lieu de 2 mais c'était à cause du climat.

Overpriced and jaded place. Felt exploitative.

This is a tired and really overpriced place. A small single room for three people cost more than other places where we had two room suites and stunning views.

Backpacker accomodation at premium prices. Website misleading.

It is not a fancy place but it is a special place.

The staff was so incredibly friendly and helpful. The hotel was spotless and had what we needed. It is a sweet little spot.

The room could have had a better place for us to store our bags/stuff and the bedding could be more comfortable.

The location is incredible for wildlife. The trails on site are filled with howler monkeys, birds, frogs, toads and more. Every night we went out with a torch and every night we saw cute kinkajous in the trees. The breakfast delicious. It is a truly special place and I would highly recommend it. The staff were also some of the most wonderful people I have ever met. On our very last morning, just hour before we were due to get a flight, I had a technical disaster. The woman behind on reception was so kind and helpful when I explained. What's more, the owner drove me around town for over an hour and a half, taking me is at least 6 different shops, all to find an emergency hard drive. He went above and beyond his job and it simply an incredible man. I cannot recommend this accomodation more! You will have an incredible, unique experience here

Good value with wonderful staff. An excellent location for exploring the area’s flora and fauna.

We traveled to the area for birdwatching, and found Gran Gavilan del Sarapiqui Lodge to be a perfect location from which to see a variety of species. They have their own paths through the surrounding jungle, some next to a river, which we had virtually to ourselves and could access easily just steps from our room. The birding in the open space within the circle of cabins attracted many interesting birds as well. We even spotted a sloth in a tree on the grounds. The staff were very friendly, and eager to help. The breakfast with fresh fruit, eggs and rice was quite tasty and they had a variety of options for dinner. I particularly enjoyed having breakfast and dinner served on the patio with hummingbirds buzzing by our heads on their way to the nearby feeders.

We were overall quite pleased with our stay. We were thankful we had a fan in our room because of the cabins heated up a bit during the day, so nights could be uncomfortable at first but cooled down by morning.

Very nice surroundings with nature trails inside the property. Friendly staff and lovely breakfast. Restaurant and parking available.

A wonderful lodge - don‘t miss the opportunity to book!

-Very friendly staff, Cristina was amazing. Always smiling and willing to help and make our stay best possible -Breakfast was excellent! -The lodge and the surroundings are simply beautiful. They have their own small hiking trails, a lovely garden and a chillout area -We can highly recommend the place, next time we would, however, book a room with AC :-)

Friendly staff, beautiful gardens, a real paradise with hummingbirds & interesting nature trails

This hotel far exceeded our expectations in almost every way. The grounds are superb, with interesting trails, wildlife and beautifully maintained gardens. We had tours booked in the local area but we could easily have saved money and stayed within the complex. There are bird feeders and local birds (including hummingbirds) that are comfortable being in close proximity to the guests. There is a simple bar/restaurant which met our needs and you have a fridge in your room if you wish to keep your own refreshments. Parking is limited but we always found a space during our stay over Easter. Nearby you have the option for Rafting and other adventurous activities and day trips to LaPaz Waterfalls, the biological research centers and even Poas National Park. A good stopping-off point between Tortuguero and La Fortuna or San Jose to break up the journey for a few days.

The restaurant is very modest and it is preferred to book your meals in advance - although the staff were very helpful and didn't have any problem accommodating us at short notice. There is also a roof bar but again very modest and closes early in the evening with a limited selection of refreshments. The rooms are basic but functional, we were comfortable in a family room but to be critical you could argue they need modernisation.

A wild life sanctuary on the banks of the Sarapiqui river

Cute location for 1 night.

The location is nice (off the main road), the food offered gives you a decent choice and the owners were nice. They search animals for you and called us when they found a sloth high up in one of the trees of the property. The common area is also a nice and quiet place to relax. They have a new pool which we did not try. They seem to be planting around it so I guess it will look much nicer soon with plants, flowers and trees around.

The room was basic and since it is not noise-proof (mosquito nets replace some windows so you basically sleep with all the outside noise) you hear the noise of the jungle and the workers and customers of the property early in the morning. Maybe not the best place if you want to sleep in.
