Beautiful views, cute cabins, yummy local food, but mostly a great experience because of the warm and inviting people that work there. They were so accommodating and friendly it made the stay extra enjoyable.

Andres, Allen and the rest of the team were wonderful; plus, the views, waterfall hike and food were remarkable. For a relaxing, authentic experience, stay here!

Fantastic experience at this remote lodge. Beautiful views, grounds and casitas. The traditional breakfasts were delicious and it was awesome to hear and see all of the birds near the outdoor eating area. The staff were so helpful and accommodating. They even helped us with tools to change a flat tire. We would highly recommend this place (but definitely need a 4WD to get up and down).

Absolute pura vida at this family-run place (loved Mum, the cook!). Chosen for total relaxation. The nearest towns are one hour away. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Gorgeous studio room with breathtaking views. The whole property is surrounded by lush mountains. 4x4 essential to get there. Meals are simple and copious. Tours are available from the property, starting at $79.

A wonderful 2 day stay in a unique setting in wood crafted cabins with home cooked meals at restaurant. The hour drive on gravel was challenging but doable in a 2W SUV at this time of year. Warm and helpful staff.

A word of warning, this place is not easy to get to! But once you're there it is amazing and totally worth the trek. The views are insane! The casitas are really cute, comfortable and super private. The staff was very welcoming and knowledgeable. The food was super fresh and good. Cannot recommend enough!

This was 5 star experience that is hard to match. Starting from location secluded top of mountain to spacious nice room with no windows only screens. Tens of birds every morning with walking trails and fresh tasty food cooked right in front and very friendly staff, Andre, Allen and their families made our stay like being at home.

!! 4WD essential !!
Friendly place, wonderful birdwatching, fresh but predictable food ("chicken, pork or fish").
Problematic WIFI did not work in cabin
Make sure that your car has 4WD capability, or you will probably suffer on the 19km route up to the lodge

Amazing and personal experience in the middle of nature - we had a one bedroom with a deck over looking the jungle. We did a hiking tour to a very private and beautiful waterfall with surrounding pool to swim in with Allen and his dog Comanche, a local villager who also works at the lodge. We enjoyed the scenery, warm welcomes with fresh juice of the day, cut up fruit after a little walk and breakfast and amazing dinner. Highly recommend if you are looking for a more authentic and personal experience in Costa Rica!

This is an amazing place. Well off the beaten path. Toucans in the morning and afternoons. The views are second to none and the meals are delicious.

This property is a true gem. If you are looking for tranquility, you have found it. We ended up extending our stay an extra day, that's how much we loved it. Allan went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, from giving us a history of Santa Juana to introducing us to his family and inviting us to his home to see his various pets ( cat, dig, rabbit, quail, chicken, sheep e.t.c). I highly recommend staying here as it's definitely worth the drive.

Stayed overnight in one of the lodges overlooking jungle and Pacific ocean. Amazing experience and views, friendly staff from the local community, would come again.

Beautiful, peaceful location on top of a mountain with cabins surrounded by trees and birds/creatures that the guides will be searching for in the national parks. Great views, home-cooked meals, and friendly, helpful staff. If you're renting a car to drive there, be sure to get a 4WD (in any season) as the roads outside of tourist towns are packed dirt with rocks and mountain roads can be steep.

This place is magical 🦜 we stayed there for 3 nights before we had to go to Tamarindo.
We could have stayed there WAY longer and are also considering going back before we head home.
The people there are amazing, smiling and helpful. We got a flat tire and one of the locals came to the rescue as we didn’t had the right tools. ❤️
The view from the room is spectacular and the animal sounds are the most calming. ❤️
A little piece of heaving in the middle of the rainforest. ❤️ WE LOVED IT!

Fantastic place, great service, and a perfect spot to enjoy the mountain/forest/jungle area above Manuel Antonio. We enjoyed this place more than the reserve at the bottom of the mountain. Waterfalls, nice hiking trails, super cute rooms with incredible views.
