Lovely place

A stunning location up the mountain but only a 10 minute drive to town. The breakfast/ dinner area has beautiful views over to the Pacific sea with birds and wildlife all around. Beautiful large cabins. It is cooler here so no need for air con. The rooms can be loud with the rain and wind (normal for here) so bring your ear plugs. Staff friendly and helpful. We loved happy hour at the bar! Food was really good to and a nice breakfast.

Nice airy room and good restaurant

Really liked this place. Nice quiet vibe, high ceiling airy room with outdoor patio, WiFi in the room, good food, nice cocktails, hummingbirds, great sunsets. There are some nice walks you can do round the property and we took a night walk here too which was nice seeing hand sized tarantulas and snakes around the place. Was easy to get to the zip lining etc nearby in fact most companies will collect from here. Nice quiet location up the hill from the little village. Nice place.

The bare necessities

Clean and comfortable overall. The WiFi was reliable in the room which was appreciated. They really need some ventilation- it’s very hot in the afternoon and downright cold at night. The property is lovely-the trails are quiet and clearly marked. The view from the main lodge is special-the bird feeders add additional interest. Close to Santa Elena with the taxi charging 6-8$. The food was not great

Great location in nature

Superb location with your head almost in the clouds. Our room below the bar/restaurant was large with 2 double beds in 2 rooms and large bathroom. Easy to sit outside the room and look for birds and animals. Restaurant was good with a variety of foods offered. Staff was attentive. Complimentary breakfast offered a wide selection of items to choose from. The true selling point of this lodge is the bar deck area. Hummingbird feeders have the birds flitting right in front of you while the bird stands attract other species. Make sure you are here at least one night to view the spectacular sunset. Front desk staff is very friendly, knowledgable and fluent in english.

3 night stay in the canopy

Great place to stay. We enjoyed the peace and tranquility, despite the howler monkey noise. Meal were good and the breakfast superb. We enjoyed staying in our cabin, felt very rustic. We also liked the trails for the hotel through the forest. All in all an excellent place to stay, not even too far out of town, within walking distance, especially if you’re used to hills.
