What a wonderful place! I am so happy I found this place as I was able to enjoy a couple of days here; the service was fantastic as well! If you love being sorely fed by nature, I recommend you stay here; at least for a night.

Very nice place right next to the hiking trails . The restaurant staff was really nice (especially Carlos). The room was ok but badly soundproof (we heard the neighbor cough). We did the gondolas (tram), it was really beautiful but it’s really not worth the price ($66 US per person). Breakfast was included but only okay.

You are out in the middle of a National Park. That is going to appeal to some and seem bad to others. There is one gift shop, one restaurant, etc., but I like getting to make friends with the staff and the scenery and unique beauty is what I came for.

This place is so beautiful! If you are looking for a place away from everything , this is it. Rooms are clean, property is well maintained clean staff is so friendly. Some of the things I didn’t care for , was there is no way to get coffee first thing in the morning. Not everyone waits till 730 to get coffee . The other issue I had with the property is that it’s a one way road to get in and out. In the early morning and late at night they had nobody there to let you out. Reception should be there 24/7

Basic room in forest. Only seating is on porch. Some windows are glass, others screens. Even being a mile off the main highway, truck engines were louder than most insects. And you can sometimes hear snoring from other rooms. Convenient location if you want to use the tram/zips or hike in the national park up the road. Dining for dinner was pretty good, though only tried vegi pasta and steak. Breakfast was 7:30-9:30 and had several menu options including eggs or pancakes. Birders seemed to find a lot of interesting birds. I only saw a few toucans.

If you are elderly it is unsafe. The rooms are not inclosed so no heat or AC, the room was very small but the bed was comfortable, guess I didn’t do my research or they were vague on the conditions you were going to stay in. I saw only a few animals and the breakfast were not free. Nothing was climate controlled on the property. Then walking to your room or anywhere else was very slippery and steep.. Not a lot around either. We left early because it was pouring and I mean pouring rain. I couldn't get dry or warm and we were informed it wasn’t going to improve. But the time it wasn’t raining was nice.

The site is well laid out, and we enjoyed our stay. There are some reptiles in terrariums and a butterfly aviary. Part of the paths is fully paved, which avoids walking in the mud; another part is unpaved and quite muddy. It would be helpful if the site provided rubber boots, as we saw at other lodges, since few people bring this type of bulky boot with them. We were able to observe a good variety of birds, but they were often high in the trees. It would be really great if this site installed a fruit feeder and hummingbird feeders, as we saw in several places, so that the birds would be easier to observe.

This is a nice place to unwind for one or 2 nights. Rustic lodge, pillows and sheets need update. I like the gondola, you can really hear the trucks from the hwy. eventhough they are inside the forest.

Literally like camping in the jungle. Amazing experience. We saw so many animals within feet from our cottage. Rooms are very well ventilated with screens so AC is not needed but you need to be mindful that people can easily heard you talking in the neighboring cabins.

Poor check in with no bell man, had to carry our bags uphill further that two handicap seniors would have liked. No hot water in the morning, they kept saying it was going to be back on but never did by the time we checked out. Complained and they purchased us a breakfast for the inconvenience. Nice experience in the rainforest though

Lots off green around, but the room was old and nothing inside 1 bed and 2 night table, no A/C a old ceiling fan moving humidity around the room. Even saying it is a Park you could listen to track using their Jacob Brake the whole time day and night. Cracking floor and a toilet you pray before flushing never know the result. And the restaurant forget it they don’t even have a bottle of Vodka to serve you a drink.
