Cecelia was a very accommodating host. Even though we had a language barrier, we used translation apps. She gave us pointers about local attractions and food. The facility is exactly as advertised in the listing. Nice little cottage style rooms.

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.

Rio Celeste was beautiful. Some of the other waterfalls are better experience because you get to swim.

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.

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.
