Very unique location in the middle of the countryside. The house is quite beautiful and kept quite clean. Amazing bird watching opportunities early in the mornings and overall a very nice experience. Be prepared for a feather rustic experience.

The experience was really nice, the hotel is a 5 min drive from the national park. The room was pretty clean, however the bed was not incredible it was a pretty normal bed king.

4/5 - Good

Go to El Árbol de la Paz, Tenorio trail, and Rio Celeste where locals swim sometimes. There is nowhere to shop there, if you want your own food shop for it before you get there.
