“OK here is the deal...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed August 15, 2012

Cascada Verde is in a beautiful location! You will wake up each morning to howler monkeys and birds. Blue morphos abound. 5 min walk to the nearest waterfall! Just a 20 min walk from uvita and cascada verde is in the Jungle! If you arrive at night bring a headlamp as it is a very dark windy and steep walk. For folks who do not like to hike, you might consider a taxi. It is true that Cascada Verde is no longer run as the website says. There is no longer food cooked there and there is no voluteer program for gardening. It seems that Pipper and Paul are renting the property and run it like a hostel. Bring your own food and you have full access to the kitchen. Pipper and Paul are very nice and will help you with anything IF you ASK! By the way Paul is an amazing guitar player! If you are an investor, I believe this property is for sale! My heart aches for what Cascada verde could be! It was built with such attention to detail and love. Buy it before the jungle eats this jewel!

“A M A Z I N G !!!!! Definately comming back soon !!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 7, 2012

A M A Z I N G !!!!! Definitely I will come back soon !!!

Place is lovely !! Pirces are even better!! Very good value for money !!! Pawel and Piper are best hosts I ever meet.

Water falls, beach and trips are amazing and real fun, just check their website gallery.

If you look for adventure in national geographic style. This is the place that you should go !!

Rooms are clean and comfortable. Yoga terrace is a lovely place to relax.

I heard about problems with the previous manager, and I'm happy that this guy is gone now. He almost ruin this place completely. Thanks God for Pawel and Piper they make this place sparkle again.

I can't understand people who complain about this place. If you are looking for a 5 star hotel, this is not a place for you !

See you soon !!!

MJ and Maggie

“Mixed emotions”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed July 25, 2012

Management was almost non existent, seems like it is being run while we were there by very young and very inexperienced young men. No food or amenities or even a cold drink.
But the place itself is rather charming, and cheap as it should be.
Experienced travler, bargain hunters, this is for you

Room Tip: Don,t be upset if nobody is there and all the lights are off, there will probibly be a note for you...

“beautiful, quiet, clean and nice hosts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 22, 2012

We just came back from our Costa Rica trip and we went to many nice and way more expansive places than Cascada Verde, but this place is awesome.
Pipper and Pawel two lovely hosts welcomed us as the only guests beside a young family and gave us very useful information.
We red before some mixed reports about the place, but found out that the people running it have changed and we ware very surprised. We did a great waterfall tour with Pawel and had some fun days on the beach and the nearby waterfalls.
Cascada Verde is a great place to come with family, helpful and friendly hosts and every dollar worth to stay.
Best wishes for your stay!

“A very shady place”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed June 4, 2012

I had heard great things about Cascada Verde, but unfortunately the reality did not match the hype. The place could be more described as a "hippy lodge" built out of junk material. The place is also a complete fire hazard. A quick look at their electrical system showed a very dangerous situation possibly in the making.

When we first arrived to Cascada verde, we imagined some kind of paradise lodge. Instead, the rooms are poorly designed, uncomfortable, and nothing works as advertised.

We were told by several local businesses to stay away from this place, as the owner, a German-born expat who lives next door (Patrick?), also has a very bad reputation in this town.

It was overall a very bad stay and we would not recommend it to anyone.
