This was one of the most tranquil places we went on our trip, and is just as nice (or nicer!) as the pictures make it look online. It was great to be in the middle of the jungle with all the flora, fauna, jungle sounds/animals, yet only 12 minutes away from the beach and stores/restaurants. The hosts/owners communicated well, were very kind, and the house/kitchen was very well stocked for cooking. We saw monkeys, leafcutter ants, horses, butterflies, and others from the porch and pool. The beds were comfortable. It was a great place to have in the middle of our trip, and Carillo was a beautiful beach to explore from here for day trips. Great spot!!
