Inserted in the tropical cloud forest, this place is magic. The Toro Amarillo river taints the stones orange and gives a constant roaring, the congos haul to contrast with the crickets and cicada's background rhythm. But most of the healing comes from the hot, yellowish mineral spring water pool, alternating with the very cold, crystal clear spring water. While the cabins are rustic, the staff are all wonderful. We will come back for another “forest bathing”, and perhaps a zip-line adventure. Many thanks!!!

The place is perfect if you want to completely disconnect and experience quiet time in nature. It’s like being put in the middle of a rainforest. All the staff is amazing, with excellent customer service and go above and beyond. Food is great and big portions. They all out did themselves.

It's out there from the basic touristy stuff so you are not at the Ritz but that is what you come here for. To get away and live with the land. Experience Costa. Close enough to Blue Falls, which should be on everyone's list. Property is what you imagine living in the Jungle would be like. Hear the Monkeys in the morning. The river rushing through the property. Only negative was that me and some of my group wanted to do the zipline, canyoning experience and there was a miscommunication on how to make that happen and we missed out on that... book it right away so they can do what they need to do to make it happen... don't wait until the night before to book I guess. Not a big deal, you should just know if that is on your list so you don't miss out.

I really wanted to like this place way more than I actually did. We received a confirmation email the day before we were to arrive, but when we arrived, they had no space for us. They were apologetic, but it still left us in a huge bind late at night in the rain. We found another spot to stay for the night and returned the next day. They gave us a free dinner in exchange for the inconvenience. The space is lovely. The cabins are cozy. Everything is spotless. My main frustration is that they are not honest in their pricing. There are two different \"menus.\" One for Costa Rican visitors and one for everyone else. I was charged $40 more for a massage. When I questioned it and pointed it out on the price list, there was considerable disagreement among the staff, which was awkward but still resulted in my paying more. The staff encouraged us to dine using the standard, typical \"buffet\" meal, indicating that it would be easier and less expensive after we reviewed the menu. The \"buffet\" price was not listed on the menu. When we went to pay, the server needed to check the price. When she returned, we were shocked at how exorbitant it was. We questioned whether it was correct. She apologized and said yes. Even though the space was lovely, we left feeling like we had been taken advantage of and disrespected.

This location is in the middle of a forest at the end of a road. Very secluded, it is a local CR nature destination rather than a tourist area. We heard howler monkeys several mornings, saw an armadillo running by our cabin, & saw tons of hummingbirds. The hot springs are warm, at abt 100 deg F rather than Hot. The cool pools are crystal clear. Food in the restaurant is reasonable, good, plentiful & the breakfasts are outstanding. Due to its location it is probably better for someone with transport. The staff found us a local ride to get to a nearby, excellent butterfly garden & visit Venecia. It rained a lot while we visited, so be prepared for humidity! There's a YouTube video about their zipline & canyon activities. There are nets on windows & very few bugs. Lovely hammocks and chairs on the Morpho cabin porches. No utensils in the kitchens, but had a nice big frig.

We were looking for an “off-tourist” spot since we flew in from nyc and were driving up to La fortuna. This was an absolute gem. Plenty space for kids to run/play, hot springs, gorgeous river stream. We only had one morning, but would’ve easily stayed for a couple nights if we didn’t have our next stop scheduled! Totally recommend this place - be prepared as this is more like a high-end “glamping”. Plenty beds and sleeping accommodations. Very respectful and accommodating staff.

Clean and comfortable

As soon as I mentioned to the front desk that I preferred to have a fridge a small one was delivered to my room. Room has a safe, desk, and comfortable clothing storage. Everything was clean and the cleaners available throughout the day. Unfortunately none of the rooms have windows that can be opened so there is always the a/c smell.

Mal organisée

C’est la réception de II n’est pas du tout organisée. Trop tôt d’une demie heure pour la clef. On nous a fait attendre pour l’avoir dans le stationnement mais une heure plus tard, toujours rien. On est allés voir une employée qui nous a envoyés « la bas » en espagnol pour notre chambre. On a cherché avec allers retours la chambre qui n’avait pas de numéro de porte et qui n’était pas en ordre chronologique en montant et descendant une pente très abrupte au risque de briser le jeep. Pas de wifi. Une fois trouvée, c’était bien au niveau confort et piscines.
