Beautiful location with friendly staff and new, clean renovated cabins. There's some construction work happening on the grounds, but doesn't take away from the natural cloud forest experience. I would definitely stay there again. G.Miller USMC ret.

The property is beautiful. It’s currently being renovated, but did not interfere with our stay at all. The suite was spacious and clean. Staff was very nice. The waterfall was down the road and so much better than a swimming pool.

Amazing place to stay. Next time we are in Costa Rica we will definitely be staying here. It was our 10 year anniversary, not only did they do an amazing job decorating our room they even upgraded our villa. Ricardo especially stood out everyday he helped us weather it was food recommendations and tours. Very clean and comfortable and just a beautiful location with wild life everywhere. We were able to see monkeys right outside our balcony. 100% recommended

The cottage is tucked in nature. I stayed in the two bedroom villa. It was clean and had the basic amenities to make your stay comfortable. The staff was very helpful too. If you want to enjoy a quiet nature stay, this is the place. I also saw a lot of beautiful birds near our cottage in the morning.

I enjoyed staying here. Maximo was very helpful and provided us with everything we needed. The room needed some repairs though. Breakfast was really far from the hotel and wasn’t great honestly. Location is great. Right next to the waterfall, you can walk!

The entire place was spotless, floors gleaming. The bed sheets were crisp and all the surrounding windows created an amazing and very private view. Great wifi and amazing hot showers. The breakfasts at Geckos were hearty and delicious, such a warm and welcoming space and Charlie's homemade jam, juices, hot sauce, and mojitos were the best! We loved it so much we booked a cooking class with Scott Alan. It was so much fun and is definitely one of the highlights of our time here in Costa Rica. The location was good to, we walked to the Fortuna Waterfall and we were close to coffee/ chocolate tours, and the free passes to the hanging bridges was such a great added value. The only thing that could be better is the cookware, but then there's so many great places to eat out at!

We were given a wonderful two bedroom suite with an enclosed patio and a hammock, a kitchen, two king beds in on room, plus a second bedroom above. WOWOW! Great breakfast around the corner at Gecko. Bedroom in the midst of a rain forest. Unbelievable!!!

This beautiful property is located just a couple minutes from the La Fortuna Waterfall via a private driveway. It is nestled in the gorgeous lush mountainside and it is so so quiet and DARK. Not to worry - there is a security staff on site 24 hours a day. We checked in late well after dark. Security led us via motorbike to our villa which had amazing views

Valeria checked us in. She's amazing. Room is clean and has a beautiful view. We had a minor issue with no water in our lodge but the admins got to work on it right away. Very quiet, at the base of the volcano and a 12 minute walk from the La Fortuna waterfall. Kind of has a log cabin feel with beautiful views. We stayed in the 2 bedroom suite. Large rooms, individual bathrooms on each side and a mini kitchen (fridge, microwave, coffee maker). Great for families. We'd stay again
