“new owners are AWESOME!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 18, 2012

I have been checking out trip advisor reviews and traveling a lot for the past two years but never signed up for an account until now. but because I enjoyed my stay here as much or more than any place I've been in 3 months of Costa Rica travel, I wanted to help get the word out what an awesome place this is and it's under new management as of just recently so don't let any bad reviews from November 2012 or prior affect your choice.

the setting is an incredibly beautiful jungle a short walk from a scenic and refreshing river and waterfall. I greatly preferred staying here to staying on the beach. very quiet and I didn't even use my mosquito net. the waterfall has a great restaurant too so even if you don't have a car you have options for food. it's pretty easy to hitch down or up the road to the highway and cabs are easy as well.

the open air lodge was kept totally spotless and the cost of everything from the room, to laundry, to dinners that were sometimes available was incredible for a place that nice.

finally the owners are so nice and helpful. they treated me like family. a GREAT place!!!

“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

Room Tip: Rooms with private bathroom !!!!

“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!
