The location is absolutely beautiful. The staff was somewhat unfriendly but the location was worth it.

Great place, beautiful location! Make no mistake, this isn't a 5-star hotel, it's an open air kind of place with no AC but beds have mosquito netting and we were completely comfortable. Gorgeous viewing deck for hanging out with a beer or a book. Community kitchen that we didn't take advantage of, but many people did and it seemed well equipped. Having a car made it easier to get to but it's not 100% necessary. Great little wine bar just down the road.

The property has a definite hostel vibe. Many backpackers making use of excellent kitchen facilities in common areas. The rooms are small and spartan, but they were clean and acceptable. I appreciated the friendly, easy-going staff and their convenient laundry service. Nobody would describe the place as luxurious, but it is an excellent and economical choice for folks who can get by with less. The place has two remarkable balconies that are directly open to the forest and provide a sense of having a living room transported into the middle of a jungle! (In February) the balcony was a very pleasant place to enjoy a beverage or have some yoga and such! Nearby is a nice natural swimming hole and waterfall slide. The hike to get there is very short, but the trail is rugged and somewhat challenging. Worth the effort, imo. A weird feature: the open balconies mean some hefty cicadas and other assorted critters are common in the living spaces.
