    Beautiful property with very friendly staff. The location was fantastic. There is a beach right across the street and the walk to the village was 5 minutes. You can also walk 5 minutes north to Playa Negra. The complementary breakfast was delicious and the hotel has a nice restaurant for dinners as well.

    Nothing!

    This was my favourite place we stayed on our 2 week trip in Costa Rica. It was so peaceful plus the wildlife (sloths, iguanas, frogs etc) on the property and of course the kitty cat living there really made this place one to remember! The staff were lovely and food at the restaurant was great too. Also some nice restaurants a short walk into town and we felt safe to walk at night but were never out late. Beaches were also just a short walk away.

    Our room was dark and the mosquito net was not well set up. Also, although close to the sea, there was no sea view.

    The grounds and pools are beautiful, well maintained and full of wildlife. Good breakfast.

    Hot water was broken—but they did their best to fix it as soon as we told them. Same with the remote control for the TV

    My only issue was the rooms look larger on the pics, but I purchased an extra room so I was happy I could spread out.

    Loved the grounds. So beautiful and landscaped perfectly. Can’t believe there weren’t more people in the restaurant. Whoever is the cook knows how to cook pasta. I had two different types and was so happy with both. Enjoyed having the pool to ourselves at night. And, the housekeeping service was above and beyond. We didn’t expect the daily service, but loved it. Breakfast is for early risers, but 3 great options. The coffee is nice and strong! The restaurant staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a nice 25th anniversary. Much appreciated. As we drove through the area, I was convinced I mad the perfect choice. Gracias.

    There is nothing to dislike about this property. If you plan to stay in Cahuita, you will not find a better option.

    We loved everything about this property! We had two cabanas and one studio. The beds, linens, showers and room appointments were perfect. The pool and tropical setting was stunning and we couldn’t have had a better time. We had a special lobster dinner at the on-site restaurant and it was superb. My husband has a medical emergency while we were there and the manager, Conrad, took control of the situation and helped us navigate the local health care system. We owe him a lot.

    The only blip during the stay was one evening meal, I was served a very substandard pizza and my gf had a very ordinary fish and rice dish

    Liked practically every aspect of our stay, the staff were friendly and very helpful. The room was very comfortable and very clean.
