A proposito di questa casa vacanza
A unique tropical jungle experience amongst magical gardens and rainforest.
L'esperienza "Eco Lodge" di Princesa de la Luna è tutto ciò che si immagina di soggiornare in un paradiso costaricano. La casa, complessi trespoli sul bordo della valle, offre incredibili viste sulla giungla sparsa sotto e sul vulcano che incombe sul lato opposto della valle.
VRBO è specializzata nel noleggio di case vacanza .. siamo un Ecolodge e offriamo anche camere da letto individualmente .... vrbo presuppone di affittare l'intero Ecolodge .. Considerando che possiamo offrire camere individuali.
Queste opinioni erano una delle molte ragioni per cui la NBC ha scelto di girare parte del loro reality show, "Love In The Wild", qui. "Lo consiglio vivamente a gruppi e famiglie ..."
L'Ecolodge offre un'esperienza di vita unica attraverso l'integrazione sociale con la comunità locale e ci piace sottolineare questa importanza in quanto non siamo un hotel standard.
La cucina / sala da pranzo può ospitare fino a 30 persone. Lì troverai spesso grappoli di banane e noci di cocco appesi a ganci e pronti per essere utilizzati. Grandi tavoli in legno realizzati localmente offrono preparazione funzionale e zona pranzo e ci sono stufe a propano e a legna, forno a microonde, tostapane e caffettiera. C'è anche una griglia / forno in mattoni con uno spiedo motorizzato abbastanza grande per un maiale pieno o una mezza dozzina di polli se decidi di organizzare una festa. La cucina ha tutto il necessario per preparare i tuoi pasti.
Oppure puoi prenderlo facilmente come la maggior parte dei nostri ospiti e lasciarci cucinare per te! I pasti sono in stile familiare e i piatti sono decisi in base a ciò che è fresco e disponibile. Le colazioni costano $ 7 a persona e in genere includono uova fatte nel modo che ti piacciono, fagioli e riso, (un alimento base di ogni pasto costaricano), montagne di frutta fresca, banane fritte, pane o arepas, ("pancakes" sudamericani con o senza sciroppo,) succo fresco e tè / caffè. I pranzi e le cene costano rispettivamente $ 10 e $ 15 a persona e includono insalate, prodotti freschi, salse fatte a mano, riso e fagioli, carne di manzo, maiale, pollo o pesce, frutta e succhi freschi, formaggi locali, dessert e tè / caffè. Il cibo viene regolarmente descritto dagli ospiti come il migliore dell'intero viaggio. Avviso deve essere dato il giorno prima per la colazione e la mattina per pranzi / cene. Ci sono anche un gran numero di ristoranti e altre opzioni per la ristorazione disponibili.
Ci sono molti modi per goderti il tuo tempo qui, tra cui MILES di percorsi mantenuti creati nel corso di nove anni. I percorsi sono fiancheggiati da piante accuratamente selezionate e le foreste sono state mantenute con molta cura per ottenere una miscela di frutta coltivata e giardinaggio sostenibile, parco e foresta vergine.
Usando piante adeguate e tecniche di permacultura sostenibile, abbiamo conseguito un'esperienza unica qui. I terreni mantenuti lasciano gradualmente spazio a vedute più rustiche, che si fondono gradualmente in giungla vergine permanente, incontaminata. Uno dei sentieri termina in un ruscello che si fa strada attraverso la forte crescita delle piante e un unico "muro piangente" di terra nera che è coperto da una varietà di orchidee.
Lungo la strada scoprirai non una ma due piscine. Uno è leggermente più convenzionale con piante e giardini mantenuti intorno ad esso ed è alimentato da pura acqua di sorgente. L'altro è nascosto alla fine di un'escursione sul fondo della valle vicino al ruscello. È alimentato direttamente dal piccolo ruscello, non ci sono NESSUN PRODOTTO CHIMICO utilizzato in entrambi. Solo una continua fornitura di acqua fresca e pulita che scorre nelle piscine e poi ritorna nel flusso. In questo momento la piscina principale è funzionale e balneabile ma ha bisogno di essere sostituita con piastrelle e manutenzione generale, quindi non è così ben presentata come nelle foto !! A volte abbiamo difficoltà a cambiare l'acqua poiché dalla Natura Spring può richiedere del tempo per riempirsi ... ma la maggior parte delle volte è utilizzabile ..
Due ospiti tedeschi hanno recentemente descritto la loro escursione alla cascata e il godimento della piscina fluviale come la cosa migliore che hanno fatto finora in Costa Rica, dicendo che la piscina fluviale sembrava essere stata costruita dagli elfi e aveva un 'atmosfera di magia. " La piscina sul fiume è disponibile solo a volte, poiché è soggetta a inondazioni dopo forti piogge. Tuttavia entrambi sono luoghi eccellenti per picnic appartati e divertimento rilassato ... da soli o con amici speciali.
Tornando a casa scoprirai che il confine tra vita interna ed esterna è stato offuscato. Enormi camere da letto si aprono su balconi e una varietà di aree salotto, tutte arredate con curiosità interessanti, opere d'arte a parete e una profusione di piante. Molte delle camere sono collegate tramite corridoi aperti fiancheggiati da giardini tropicali anziché da muri reali, fornendo il perfetto equilibrio tra sicurezza e l'impressione di vivere proprio nella natura stessa.
Il flusso naturale dai balconi alla sala da pranzo / cucina ti porta oltre un piccolo bar con pannelli di bambù che si trova proprio accanto a una zona salotto con uno stereo e che si trasforma facilmente in una pista da ballo. Più in basso è la grande vasca idromassaggio, appena sopra un 'Ranchero' coperto che è perfetto per la meditazione, lo yoga o la pratica delle arti marziali. La vasca idromassaggio è integrata nell'edificio reale ed è piuttosto grande, quindi ci vogliono diverse ore per riscaldarsi. Si prega di avvisare se si intende utilizzarlo in modo che possa essere pronto per te!
I grappoli di banane appesi attirano tucani e altri uccelli. Mentre scrivevo, stavo guardando un Tucano fatturato chiglia che sgranocchiava un platano con grande entusiasmo. Altri animali nell'area includono kinkachoos, una vertiginosa varietà di lucertole e molti altri animali.
Un ospite ha recentemente descritto la sua esperienza qui dicendo: 'Ci vuole un minuto per affondare nel fatto che questo non è uno zoo e non una riserva di animali. È una casa vera e propria, in mezzo al paradiso e tutti questi uccelli, animali e tutto il resto sono reali, qui e naturali! ' Penso che i suoi commenti riassumano abbastanza bene l'esperienza qui.
Siamo a soli 5 chilometri dal centro di La Fortuna, il che significa che sei a pochi minuti da tutte le attività e le escursioni tipiche che potresti apprezzare, tra cui:
* Ponti sospesi
* Linee zip
* Sorgenti termali
* ATV e altri noleggi
* Conservatorio delle farfalle
* Eco-Snake Zoo
* Equitazione
* Escursioni sul vulcano
* Rafting
* Canyoning e discesa in corda doppia
* Osservazione uccelli
* Nuoto
* Molto di piu
Siamo lieti di prenotare attività per tuo conto e possiamo risparmiare dal 5 al 10% se prenotato in anticipo.
Troverai questa casa ideale per vacanze di gruppo come riunioni di famiglia, ritiri aziendali, vacanze di gruppo, squadre sportive, gruppi civici ecc.
Questo posto è stato un lavoro d'amore per un decennio ed è veramente, unico nel suo genere. Sono certo che adorerai il tuo soggiorno qui e non vedo l'ora di incontrarti.

The Princesa de Luna Ecolodge exceeded our expectations in every way. Firstly, with numerous ‘cabins’ the 16 of us were a very comfortable fit for the accommodations. It is quite rustic — no elevators, no air conditioning, lots of stairs — but the staff of the lodge were extremely friendly and helpful. Food was local fare and excellent. Probably not for one with infirmities, as it is situated on the side of a hill, and even walking down to the stream and pool required intact arms and legs. Perfect for our crew.

La Princesa was perfect for our three generation family. The space and location couldn’t have been better. William, property manager, was so helpful, kind, and warm. He made it so easy for us to get around and book the various activities. William, Anderson, and Michael gave us a great adventure hike of the property

This place is extremely unique. It is a very neat little place. The views are breathtaking. Drinking coffee on the porch looking at the volcano and all of the different species of birds in the area will be something that I forever remember. William the chef is amazing. I definitely recommend getting him to cook for you!

The team was fantastic!! Beautiful property. They were a super understanding and accommodating team! William was extremely welcoming and hand great recommendations, Jorlan found the coolest wildlife on the hike, and Anderson was extremely attentive.
This place was a sanctuary and for those who are just looking to relax and experience the rainforest for all it’s glory.
Thank you!!

I cannot say enough about the quality of experience our family had at Princesa de la Luna.
We had our family of 17 ranging in age from 4 to 70 for my father's 70th birthday. The accommodations suited our family of 6 children and 11 adults perfectly with each small family having their own rooms. The property layout embraces the jungle experience with open air seating, kitchen and dining, incredible views and short, but somewhat technical, walks to 2 separate swimming locations.
While all of this was incredible, what really sets this place apart from others I have visited is the quality and kindness of the staff. William and the staff are a group of wonderful individuals! We did the adventure tour on the property with our whole group and William led us through the jungle explaining what different plants were and letting us taste different fruits and herbs. We then hiked into a waterfall and down through the creek to the natural swimming pool where there was the option for a therapeutic mud bath.
William and the staff also cooked every morning and night for our entire group and every meal was incredible. They even roasted a pig on the open wood fired oven for my father's birthday dinner complete with cake.

This place was such an adventure and way out of our comfort zone! We all had a spectacular stay. Chef William and his staff could not have been any more accommodating! Food was excellent! He was absolutely the best, and Anderson was darling.
This is not a place for people looking for a plush place. This is very rustic and outdoorsy. The adventure tour they offer is not for sissies! Great fun and very challenging.
The cabins were very much like the pictures and everyone felt comfortable and loved how they were all very unique. New pillows would have been nice. I think all 20 of us would definitely recommend your place for anyone who wants an adventure!
4.0
Good:
1. William, the guy manages the property is a great guy. He speaks good english and is always available for any questions.
2. Location and the greenery on the property is great and well maintained.
Bad:
1. The whole building is old(ancient) and bad here. Very Bad hygiene everywhere in the building.
2. The pics on the website are misleading. It’s not the same as the reality. I think the pics were taken when the property is new.
3. *Dead bugs everywhere. On the bed, sheets, furniture.*
4. Stinky fabric furniture/couch. Couldn’t sit for a min. It had dead bugs on it. I have pics and videos.
5. No access to laundry but you can give your dirt cloths and they will do the laundry.
6. Had plumbing issues but they managed to fix it.
7. Bathroom are not in good condition but can get the bare minimum job.
8. I’m not certain but I think they don’t wash/change the sheets when the guests leave. I observed while checking out. They simply make the bed with the old sheets.
I’ll NOT recommend this property but if they take care of the hygiene issues then it will be a great place to stay.

First time to Costa Rica, La Fortuna was our first stop. We hoped for a rain forest adventure nesr the volcano and it was better than we hoped. The overall property is spread out. We had 5 seperate rooms/bungalows to choose from. It slept our party of 12 very comfortably. William is a great host. You must take his waterfall tour, and allow the staff to make breakfast. The breakfast was outstanding and very affordable. We had William cook for us one night, that was also outstanding. William also helped set up some of our tours and for a small fee, drove us in their van. All of the services made for an exceptional stay. The beds and bungalows are a little dated, but that is part of the ambience, our entire group loved it.

Our family, which includes six adult children, stayed at Princessa de la Luna the first week of July, 2023, and we had a great experience !
The ecolodge is nestled in acres of rainforest but getting into town was just a few minutes away. We never tired of sitting on the large decks, and looking out over the tree tops at the Arenal volcano, with toucans nibbling berries just a few feet away. The adventure tour on the property, which was led by William, who is the caretaker at the property, was a great hike, including down a steam and to a waterfall. William was fantastic, taking us everywhere we wanted to go, suggesting excursions, restaurants and generally being a guide to everywhere and everything ! If you are looking for a unique place to stay in La Fortuna then look no further

Tremendous! Jungle surroundings with modern amenities. William & his staff treated us like “Kings & Queens.” Woke up to toucans in the morning. Service, food & recommendations were all “spot on”. Thanks for taking care of our 3-generation family of 15.
10.0
The property is absolutely beautiful, and the staff was very helpful. The food was good. Highly recommend the waterfall tour on site. The only unexpected part was it is a bit of a trek to both pools, but they are absolutely beautiful and secluded in nature. A great bar/restaurant just opened during our stay across the street, would recommend making a walking path directly to the restaurant in the future.
8.0
William deserves 5 stars! He is an absolutely amazing host, very knowledgeable and super nice. Everything he recommended was an absolute blast. The wildlife around the property is amazing and we saw toucans every morning. The adventure tour is amazing. The amenities are very run down though. Lots of repairs and maintenance are needed. The rooms are very basic and bathrooms definitely need an upgrade.
8.0
We drive from Liberia airport to princesa de la Luna. It was quite a long windy drive. Once we arrived William was quick to greet us and had a lovely dinner ready. He was very helpful and kind. The property and rooms were what we expected. It could use some remodeling in the bathrooms and such. It was nice having a bar across the street. Once at the property everything was an easy drive to see: arenal hike, mistico, sky adventure, ect

The lodge is in a lush forest with a nice hike down to its own little waterfall. The rooms vary a bit in quality according to their age and they are building some new rooms and common areas, it’s ever evolving. Most of the rooms have beautiful jungle views, and at night the fans kept the rooms comfortable for sleeping. The beds were comfortable but there isn’t much else in the rooms besides beds. More hooks for hanging things, or bedside tables with a light or a chair would be good. The patios, dining area and kitchen were beautiful all crafted with unique hard wood. We had breakfast most mornings and dinner one night, all the meals were excellent. The host William was so helpful and is fluent in English, French and Spanish. We had to change our reservations several times and they were so accommodating to still fit us in.
The hike down to pool #1 is a beautiful and tropical but steep taking 5-10 minutes depending on your fitness. It’s unfortunately not a very appealing pool as it is very dilapidated block and concrete and when we were there only half full of water. We never made it to pool #2 which we heard is less of a pool, but was maybe more appealing. There is a very small pool with cool water up in the common area that they clean out every morning, they may call it a jacuzzi in their description but we couldn’t get any jets to work. We weren’t there for the pools so we weren’t super disappointed. Overall we had a great stay there and would love to go back.

Want to wake up to the sounds of the jungle (birds, monkeys, wildlife)? Want to see the natural wildlife in it's natural habitat? want to eat from the land? This place is MAGIC. I loved it so much. The host, william was AMAZING - the food was so good! and he was so nice and helpful with EVERYTHING. Perfection.

This is the first time the 12 of us have traveled together (6 couples) and we could not have asked for a better setting, host or staff than the Ecolodge. William's calm, patient and helpful disposition was unwavering, even with our flurry of questions and requests for activities. He arranged for our daily adventures and suggested the best restaurants and shops. Without a doubt, having dinner the night upon arrival and the adventure tour the next morning is the best plan for your first 24 hours. During our week, we also experienced a coffee/chocolate tour, Baldi Springs, rafting, ziplining and the hanging bridges. During some downtime at the lodge, many of us scheduled massages - totally worth it! We had our last dinner at the lodge where William and his staff roasted pork (the BEST we've ever had) and prepared fresh sides and a dessert. Without a doubt, we had a trip of a lifetime and will never forget it. Pura Vida!

Our group of 15 are extremely well traveled and NOTHING could have prepared us for the uniqueness of this property or the hospitality we received. It was paradise and we didn't want to leave. The meals were phenomenal so definitely arrange to eat on site a few times. William goes above and beyond and is so knowledgeable about the area. The location is perfect- a short drive to town but feels like you are far removed if that is what you are looking for. There were 15 in our party (3 families-kids 9 to 16 years old) and there was something for everyone! The tour is a must do, I can't recommend that enough.We plan on returning ASAP!

We had such a great time here. The view from the patio was to die for. William took incredible care of us

William, the host is amazing and helped plan for us every step of the way. The food was delicious with fresh fruit juices , banana pancakes etc. for breakfast . His pig roast was exceptional and we are from TX. So our expectations were high. We loved the hike on the property that lead to a beautiful waterfall. William gives an excellent tour of all the plants and wildlife. I think as long as you realize it is an upscale camping environment for room accommodations you will love this place. The host could not be a kinder person that will help accommodate you in anyway. We highly recommend it!!!!

The rooms are spacious and comfortable and the beds are massive. Delicious breakfast and dinners. William was extremely helpful and friendly, and Jonathan went above and beyond to make sure our trip was ideal.
The luna tour was easily my favourite hike of the whole trip. Toucans and geckos everywhere, not to mention cute kitty cats and the most adorable dogs. Princesa de la Luna is ideal if you are an adventure traveler. After our daily adventures, it felt like coming home. Highly recommend.
Thank you again, William! I will be returning someday.

The location is amazing and William + staff are top notch. The accommodations are more "summer camp" than "resort-like" though, which was a bit disappointing as the pictures create an impression of luxury. BUT if you want something that is very in touch with nature and the surroundings, you will not be disappointed here. If you want high-end rooms and luxury accommodations, look elsewhere.

This estate is different than anything you’ve stayed in before. Each room is essentially separate buildings (with baths) all centralized over common eating and deck areas.
William and company are great hosts, they make very tasty food. William will help with any needs or activities you seek.
This is not your luxury hotel, but a very charming and wildly unique place to stay. I highly recommend.

Our family (party of 7) was delighted with our decision to stay at this property. Transportation to and from the SJO airport was easy and our driver was very knowledgable. Roads were well maintained and all felt safe. We had most of our meals at the lodge and they were all prepared by the staff. The excursion on property was our favorite. One day we traveled to the hot springs, another day we went on a private tubbing adventure, and the final day we went hiking near the volcano. Sunsets are just behind the Arenal volcano. The view is magical. Afternoons before dinner were spent relaxing in the hammock or having massages down stairs listening to the rain drops. Internet was fast. Adequate soap in the bathrooms. Bring your own shampoo and conditioner, bug spray and water shoes. We are from TX and we were concerned about the air conditioning. We are used to having the room chilled to 65 degrees at night. So while temps were very nice during the day and in the evenings with the slight breeze, we did get a little warm at night but the fans in the room helped. Cash is helpful for gratuity, paying the driver to and from airport, and paying for meals and excursions planned by William at the lodge. After we left this lodge, we finished the rest of our stay in Costa Rica at a 5 star hotel on the beach. And when we asked the kids which place they preferred, the picked La Fortuna every time. You will truly L-O-V-E your experience at this home and in Costa Rica!

What a wonderful few days! From the second we arrived we felt welcomed by William and Steven . They both went out of their way to help us when needed , such as earlier breakfasts due to tours, extra towels because all of ours were wet from rain and activities or wet clothing that needed to be dried . We enjoyed the yummy breakfasts and two nights of their home cooking . My boys could not love their banana pancakes anymore , and the fresh fruit , YUM! Homemade juice each morning was a bonus too . Grounds were beautiful and peaceful , the waterfall hike is a must with Steven . Their friendly animals were great , the doggies and cats were fun to play with . Hot tub was not working , but that didn’t hinder our stay at all. We were so busy with activities and enjoying nature . Rooms were spacious , no air but good air flow at night where I never felt overly hot . The deck was my resting place , those hammocks . The best. Bathrooms could use a little sprucing up, but again didn’t bug us one bit, we saw photos ahead of time. Everything was delightful , from the start of our stay to the end of our stay . If you would like to be immersed in nature and have the love and care needed in a foreign country , do not look any further . Book your rooms now . Jonathan , William and Steven are wonderful people .

The VRBO pictures don't do this place justice. It was perfect for our first multi-family trip to Costa Rica. Jonathan was very responsive an helpful while William, the property manager was more than accommodating. He helped book excursions into town, fed us wonderful meals, brought in a masseuse and even helped us find urgent care (which was a far better experience than any I've had in the states!) I highly recommend this property for groups who would like to be a little out of town (very easy drive into town) and have a very authentic jungle experience!

What an amazing experience. William, Steven, and all the help were so accommodating and friendly. My family of 15 couldn’t have had a better time. The atmosphere of having the jungle right outside your door was unbelievable. Getting to hike the property and see the the area was great and the food was superb.
Thanks, Jonathan for building such a wonderful place.

There are not enough superlative adjectives to describe our stay at Princess de la Luna. The grounds were fantastic. The sleeping quarters, fantastic. The food, fantastic. And the staff? Well we could not have asked for a better crew.
Thanks to all.
And yes, we would all visit again.

We had a family of 7 and grandparents on our trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Jonathan was so helpful. His staff William and Luis assisted us daily in helping plan out excursions and meals. Even went so far as to help us plan for our next leg of vacation on the beach. I can’t say more about how wonderful our time was there. Most gracious and caring people. Will come back!!

The description of the property was top choice. Host Jonathan was quick to respond and felt comfortable booking the entire place. The Property manager William & staff communicated & arranged our airport pick ups, guided us to best activities in the area, made reservations for us. Cooked & served us the best local meals. In one word they were there for us all the time.
The best experience of location, amenities and service we can get.

WOW! The Princesa is amazing in so many ways. First, the pictures capture a fraction of the experience. This home is amazing! The lush surroundings as well as the wild life provide the perfect rain forest experience. This home offered every convenience throughout our incredible and unforgettable vacation. Our group of 20 was offered delicious meals and activity coordination by Jonathan and his local experts, led by William. We hiked, zip lined, bathed in the hot springs, enjoyed many home cooked meals, rafted, peacefully lounged in the many hammocks, enjoyed the solitude of our surroundings, and filled our hearts with amazing memories of Costa Rica.
Can’t wait to visit again soon! Thank you to Jonathan for creating such a wonderful home and to William for making our remarkable vacation perfect in every way.

Princessa La Luna is a beautiful and peaceful lodge. Birds and verdant vegetation abound. It's one with nature, living in the trees, enjoying the stream and waterfall, floating in the freshwater pools.
If you want a real CR forrest experience, this is a great place. But don't expect luxuries. The value comes from the natural setting.
Kudos to William, who gently and ably kept our group of eight organized, always finding the best activity and the right drivers to get us there. He's a wonderful guy.

Our experience was amazing!!! Jonathan, William, and Luis were all outstanding. Our group consisted of 6 adults and 6 kids ages 6 to 11. They provided or coordinated all of our transportation, activities, and meals. All very reasonable and done with thoughtful consideration and care to ensure our experience was amazing. So much to do, but property also provides seclusion for rest and relaxation. The adventure tour on the property is a must as well as their authentic Costa Rican cooking! Our group will be recommending them to anyone who will listen!!

If you want authentic, genuine La Fortuna this is the place to stay!! William, Luis and Maria were exceptional cooks and extremely kind and generous hosts. They helped planned all of the excursions once we arrived, they provided very reasonable and absolutely delicious meals, the property tour through the rainforest, waterfalls, rivers and mud bath in the natural pool could not have been better for everyone in our family ages 4 to 72. The huge outdoor kitchen and dining area were perfect for our large family to spend time together. The rooms and bathrooms provided plenty of space for our large family with a Costa Rican rustic indoor/outdoor experience. Jonathan was also fantastic at helping us plan ahead and answering all of our questions before we arrived- we 100% recommend!

We are a group of 12 neighbors who enjoy travelling together. Some in the group had different expectations and thought that we would be staying in a town by the rainforest in a more traditional room where nature can be tamed. But there we were right in the middle of the rain forest where nature is clearly a force to be reckoned with. Princessa is a large and inviting space with two large rooms/kitchen/ patio/deck/dining in the main house with additional large rooms in separate buildings close by. The main house has more railings and stairs than it does walls, leaving it open to views and breezes as well as to local dogs, cats, and geckos. The separate buildings had not been used for a while because of decreased tourism from Covid so there were some bugs and missing screens and roof leaks and a hot water problem. I guess we could have stayed in town and drove to the rain forest every day, but that would have been a completely different experience than to wake up to it outside your window, to eat meals in it and to wander the grounds and see the food that would be on the table for the next meal. To meet William and Luis around the kitchen and grounds and to have their good advice and watchful care was the best! The home cooked food was delicious and fresh and accommodating. Laundry was available for an extra charge. We almost got too busy with other tours in the area to fully appreciate the property and that would have been a big mistake. The memories I took home of La Fortuna were of zip lines, Tarzan swing, suspension bridges, chocolate farms, volcanos, jungle, fruits/plantains/avocados, and the grounds of Princessa with symphonies of cicadas, the tiled pool fed by the river, and standing under the waterfall, and wandering along trails in a rainstorm! We had lots of room to spread out and play games in the dining area in the evenings. We watched the torrential rains without windows but stayed dried on the patio under the roof. This is a different experience and we thoroughly enjoyed it! You won't forget this!

Our overall experience was great. Our host was very accommodating and arranged all of our tours. The home was close to everything but far enough away to be quiet.

We had an incredible time! This place is like having a magical rain forest all to yourself. You will be immersed in nature. From the wildlife to the natural pools, waterfall and mud baths…
William was the most amazing host, he felt like he was part of the family. He helped with every detail in a timely manner and went out of his way to accommodate us. He truly went above and beyond. The food was great! The excursions incredible! The nature tour is a definite MUST… and we made memories to last a life time. I would recommend this to groups of any size, families, friends, couples looking for nature and adventure.
