"Loved our stay, it was incredible! Staff was wonderful especially Kenneth. We did a boat tour and he was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic to ensure all the birds on my list were at-least attempted to be found, which he successfully located 100% of them! We saw many herons, hummingbirds, storks, roseate spoonbills, kingfishers, and jabirus!

"Hung up in unbelievable traffic in Santa Cruz, I was not able to check into the hotel until 7 AM the next day when they reopened. So I don't have the overnight experience one expects. That said, the room was very clean, the shower had good hot water, and I did get a morning nap on the bed. Fort7nately, it is off the road a bit. But noise carries and young Costa Ricans love their motorcycles. So if you are super noise sensitive that might bother you, but the traffic is really light on that...

We saw many herons, hummingbirds, storks, roseate spoonbills, kingfishers, and jabirus! (Among so many other life-listers) At sunrise I sat on the balcony of our room with coffee and binoculars and saw many amazons, parakeets, and even a scarlet macaws. Food was excellent as well. The road to the ranch is 100% worth it. We came on motorcycles and would highly recommend this to anyone who’s interested in birding, wildlife and a more authentic/rural type of hospitality"
