overrated, you can hear every other guest from your room. zero privacy. poor customer service, specially in the restaurant; they can’t take up to one hour to make a fried rise with chicken (i waited cuz I had no other option).

This is the perfect stay to enjoy a walkable vacation on a beautiful beach with options for other activities from yoga, bird watching, and of eating at some of the many restaurants nearby. The breakfast was great and the staff friendly and helpful! The only thing is you may not want to leave the hotel!

We had a very comfortable stay. Staff all very helpful and friendly. Location is amazing on the beach and 10 min walk to downtown Cahuita. Rooms large and comfortable w/very nice facilities - pool, Restraunt, gym. We even had the opportunity to watch the local FC Cahuita football match on Sunday afternoon at the field immediately adjacent the property. Highly recommend!

Excellent customer service, plenty of parking. Room#7 was very spacious , including a huge verandah and hammock! Fabulous 24 hour pool, eggs done to order station. Beautiful grounds, Black beach is literally across the street, amazing atmosphere. We loved the skylight in the bathroom. There was plenty of shelving and storage benches. The lunch we bought lacked flavor ( chicken fajitas & grilled chicken). The towels are quite thin and need to be replaced. The room was hot as there is only 1 ceiling fan, however if you sleep with the shutters open, a cool breeze will come in.

Location is amazing, right on the beach but surrounded by the jungle. Spacious room, great facilities at the hotel, large swimming pool, excellent cocktails, and lot of variety on the menu. Only disappointment is the lack of selection at breakfast, and that it is the same every single day. Given the amount of exotic fruits that grow in Costa Rica, a more interesting selection of fresh fruits, juices and local dishes for breakfast would have been nice. The hotel is a ten minute walk from central Cahuita, where there are many restaurants, tour agencies, and the national park. Would come back without any doubt and highly recommend this hotel. Staff are all very friendly and welcoming.

We had an ok experience. The property was pretty and wellkept. But we ordered pizza to go that took over 40 min, no heads up of the time when ordering or while standing around the restaurant waiting. We then notice none of the chefs are wearing masks, handling everyone's food. Then the chef preparing the pizzas is clearly eating while in the kitchen, still cooking our food. During covid. Not ok

Dear Anonymous: Thank you for your comments and sorry for the delay delivering the pizza, as you know, we were full and the time is more than we expect some times. Concerning the employee without mask and eating, we sent a warning note to him and he is aware about doing that again, he will lose his job.

very moderate clealiness. ok for a 1-2 nights stay
The place is just ok. Located steps to the Playa Negra. Nice beach with the dark sand. But the hotel looks too laidback (from the service point of view) and not too tidy. I had a feeling that the bed linen wasn't really fresh. But still, overall the hotel ok for a short stay. The beach is very close, it is safe and the breakfast is quite good.

The staff were very friendly, and a lot of them were bilingual which really helped for me when struggling with Spanish. The room was lovely and clean, including the bathroom. Unfortunately there was no A/C ( my mistake when booking I didn’t check!) but the ceiling fan didn’t help with the heat and the portable fan was extremely loud ( clicking constantly not just regular fan noise). Bed were comfortable, with extra comfy pillows and it was very dark once you closed the shutters which was a bonus. The pool was nice in itself, but it appeared to be hired out? The only day I was there, there was a children’s birthday party ongoing in the pool. Obviously kids love to have fun in the water, which is great but the staff were not regulating any bad behaviour ( like getting hold of the hose filling the pool and purposely spraying uninvolved people laying on the loungers). Overall I would stay again, and I think I was just unlucky with the pool as, when I checked out the following day the pool looked a relaxing place to be!

There is a good swimming pool, and a swimable beach across the road. Parking is free. The property is old, and even the portions updated show their age. It would be a good value at a far reduced price, but is very poor value at current prices. In addition to over priced rooms, breakfast is $11 pp, about double the coast of a big breakfast in town with fruit, bacon & eggs, rice, etc. Staff are friendly and helpful, but not always well trained.

Dear Anonymous: Thank you for your feedback, I Sure you expressed your comments first hand at the Lodge before you leave the property. Otherwise, we loose a good oportunity hear it from you. Concerning your opinions: Breakfast at a restaurant that you said, have diferent price due to the operation cost. Restaurant is smaller compare with a 33 rooms Lodge and with a operation cost completely different, not mentioning wich kind of suplliers use. We bring all our food from the capital wich is a 220 kms distance. Lodge has 40 years but recently we change and updated rooms and buitl a Brand new restaurant, in near future we Will continue with front desk. Staff: Last april, we close in 85% of occupancy with a good feedback and notes from the guests, but we Will pass your info to the General Manager. Again, thank you for you comments.

Great staff, pool and location
Located about 1 km north of the National Park and town of Cahuita, this hotel was close enough to the action, but far enough to feel like a quiet getaway. Everything we needed was quickly taken care of with a smile by the staff. Big enough to actually swim in, the pool was refreshing and a great place for both families and couples to relax. Rooms had ceiling fans and a porch with a hammock, and the breakfast was tasty and plentiful.

Rainforest feel on the beach
We enjoyed our stay here. The breakfasts were delicious and cooked to order. The location was great. It had a rainforest feel while still being on the beach. Their "gym equipment" on the beach was also very creative. The pool was also very nice. The room was a good size but it was very hot due to no air conditioning. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They even waved us goodbye as we were driving to our next destination. All in all, a fun tropical experience.

What a place, perfect location for seeing the real Costa Rica wildlife, from Howling Monkeys, Iguanas, sloths, poison dart frogs and birds. Steven and Lauren really looked after my wife and I. They looked after all our needs. The Lodge was perfect, just what we wanted, in the jungle and next to the Black Sands beach. The locals were all friendly and the small town of Cahuita was only a 15 minute walk away and next to the National Park. The Lodge was well ran by Steven and all his staff. A beautiful place.

Great, well run place
We wanted a quiet, laid-back vacation spot...........this was perfect. The place is well kept with a friendly, helpful staff . The pool was beautiful. The dining areas were really nice and the food was very good. The menu was varied.....from Marlin to BBQ to Pizza to a special holiday dinner. Housekeeping was great and our room was always spotless. The gardens are beautiful and wildlife passes through at will. At all times, we felt safe and the lodge has good security. Situated across the road from a long black sand beach and about one kilometer from town. Tours can be booked in town with pickups at the lodge. Would definitely recommend the Pacuare river rafting trip. Cahuita is a small town with many restaurants and bars. Cahuita National Park is a must for beauty and nature.

The father and son duo who manage the hotel are very helpful and go out of the way to keep you happy. The hotel itself is 100 metres from beach in natural surroundings . The breakfast is good but not buffet and is clearly not enough and you have to ask if you want more. I request the owners to keep bread /toast in buffet style. Good pool which is clean. There are different types of frogs near the pool which the owner showed us in the night and that was the best part of the trip.

Ideal for family getaway close to National park
We had a great stay here with my boyfriend. The place is right next to the beach, the village and Cahuita national park is walking distance as well. The room is very nice comfy and clean, ideal place for a family getaway with small children. They offer breakfast and dinner but those are not included in the room price. There is a nice garden and a pool where you can cool off after a long hiking day. There was a nice concert, we enjoyed it very much. Unfortunately the internet did not work so the receptionist had a hard time to find our reservation and we were lacking internet access in our room.
