Stayed one night here at the end of our C2C trip with Coast to Coast adventures. There are different standards of room I think.....I hope ours weren't at the higher end, because the rooms were a bit dark and dismal. There was no air-con either...just a fan....and it was HOT. We had a major disaster with the shower which came to bits and flooded the room....not great when you only have a few items of dry & clean clothes. Breakfast was pretty good. The pool was OK, if a bit grubby. The main attraction was the Howler monkeys in the tree overhanging the hotel driveway. The grounds were nice enough too....lots of HIbiscus.
Not somewhere we'd go back to in a hurry though....certainly not for an extended stay.

This is a rather small lodge with lots of potential. It is located at the black beach area. Sure the place needs a lot of maintenance. Especially in and around the (huge) pool (lots of tiles were missing, not a single chair or pool bed was in order) and the rooms (shower). However the ambiance is truly charming: lots of flowers and plants, black spotted frogs in the morning, a lot of red eyed frogs after sunset and a friendly sloth using the power lines for freeway. The staff is friendly although a bit Caribbean tempered and the majority didn’t speak English. The water is scarcely heated by an electrical device in the shower. Making a clumsy move even caused a small shock! The reception is primitive and lacks a real cash register, so you should calculate in some time to check out.

It's a bit out of town which is OK. The rooms are very simpel but OK. It's all in a garden located which is nice as well. Food in the restaurant is a bit pricey but tastes good. You can look your valubales at reception (open form 6am to 9pm). The pool is good too. So over all you get a good stay for the money. We just had the feeling that there is no heart behind it - that it's all about the money. You also get Groups stopping by (Interbus) for Lunch/Dinner or to stay. Guess that's how they make the money and the individuals are but a bonus. We were greated and treated nice don't get me wrong. But we didn't feel at home or welcomed.

The most amazing thing of this hotel is the way they mix in the nature with the infrastructure. I didn't had to move to see most of the animals of the region such as the beautiful Red-eyed Treefrog. The food that I was served was very good and the ambiance of the bar gave a great feeling. The lodge doesn't have any gym or fitness center but when I ask about it, the manager brought me to his place where he had TRX, pull up and dip bars which is more than enough.
