"Superb! This is The Place to stay when in Tenorio National Park or Rio Celeste"

"Totally immersed in the deep jungle, with a private direct access to the river, where you can bath yourself in the blue waters of Rio Celeste. It's a lovely and peaceful space, with amazing surroundings where wildlife thrives. The casita with the jungle and garden view was beautiful, with enormous space and a gorgeous outside shower. The restaurant was also great, with an excellent breakfast and very tasty food. Don’t miss the guided Night Walk. And the heated pool and jacuzzi are incredible."
