Fell in love with this place. It gives you such a great understanding of the flora and fauna that make Costa Rica so beautiful. The people who work here are extremely accommodating and they prepare a lovely buffet of INCREDIBLY FRESH food for every meal. They have activities here like eco-tours and ...

The food was always incredible, and there is always something to do. Definitely take the time to do the hik...

My wife and I stayed here for almost a week during the rainy season. Apart from the volunteers there, we basically had the place to ourselves. It was beautiful. The food was excellent, as was the service. All the people there were helpful and polite, and out lack of Spanish wasn't an issue. Our room...

Beautiful location. People are nice. Not a lot of English. The food is basic....no imagination. Rice and beans 3x a day along with braised veggies. Be prepared for animal cruelty however. They raise close to 100 pigs for slaughter. The cows and horses, lacking grain and hay, are painfully thi...

I liked it here a lot. The food was excellent as was the service. They try to be sustainable but really cows do not belong in the rainforest or part of a sustainable ranch and ultimately the place is for profit. More cows=more global warming there is just no way around that even if you try to c...

Dare the dirt road to get there, but once you do its an amazing hide away in between tje shores of lake Arenal and the Arenal volcano. Owner has created an excellent standard for proper eco-lodging, being nearly 100% self sustainable. Would recommend!

All inclusive place, the food was great and the place has a certain serenity to it. They try to be sustainable, emphasis on the word "try". The water is only warm since the electricity is local. There are a few local tours which are excellent, but best taken independently. The rooms are really smal...

Nice place away from mass tourism which tries to develop a real virtuous working model, production of vegetables and meat, production of energy, development of local resources. The chalets are beautiful and comfortable, immersed in the vegetation, the meals are excellent. The 'night hike' allowed us...

This ecolodge is in the middle of the rainforest by the volcano. It is self sustaining and a wonder to stay at. Tons of nature/wild life to observe, free morning yoga, and delicious food. The bungalows were awesome. Pack your rain coat!

This place was pretty neat. The lodging was pretty rough and the bug nets are a must! The food was pretty good here, especially the pizza! It was awesome to see how they're off-the-grid in terms of self sufficiency. Also the pigs and chickens and others were so cool to see! The yoga was Megan was am...

It's an experience ! Juan has a vision and you're invited to share it. Energy, food, soap, everything is produced locally in an ethical and organic way. We've done the horse tour, kayak on the lake, super fun, nice staff. Beds could be better.
