We loved this property. Cano Negro is less visited by tourists and the surrounding community was very friendly. The property has everything you need and the food was delicious - the owners are a lovely family and the staff truly cared about us and wanted us to have a great time Definitely recommend the bird watching boat tour, it was one of the highlights of our trip. We booked both the AM and PM boat trips are they visit different parts of the river, we saw so much wildlife despite visiting when the water level was peak high

Caño Negro is remote and the road is not too great but the lodge is a quiet place surrounded by beautiful nature. The place is very nice and spacious. The room is a bit outdated but looks clean. Some of the staff is not very experienced in how to put the customer on #1 but they are really friendly.

The prices are quite high in comparison to the basic rooms. The portions of the food are very small. Also you have to make a menu choice the day before but it would be more customer friendly if you can just order when you are having breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Very nice swimming pool, just what’s needed to cool off from the heat.

No wifi apart from the main building; given that the whole point of coming to this area is for a tour on the river, it should be more seamless to book a trip - we got one in the end, though they threatened that we would have to pay ‘extra’. We didn’t, in the end, pay extra, but the whole process seemed harder than it should have been.

Quiet, room besides forest, lot's of birds, monkeys, deers. Lovely trails. A very short walk, the Rio Frio is bustling with birds, caymans and other animals.

Room needs a small fridge and a ceiling fan. The AC is adequate, but the fan would make the air circulate and the fridge allow to have drinks in the room without having to ask for ice all the time.

Beautiful property. Rooms nice and comfortable. The staff couldn’t have been nicer and more accommodating. Enjoyed the swimming pool and the bird feeder that encouraged many birds to stop by, giving us a close look. The monkey families in the trees were fun to watch.

The setting of the lodge was just beautiful so many wonderful birds, trees and flowers. Joseph at the Lodge was a perfect host, very knowledgeable about the surroundings and wildlife. Fabulous guy who looked after us for two days. The pool area with the swim up bar was superb. Both afternoons we had the company of a family of monkeys passing through 🐒🐵 was unreal, just perfect.

The road into Cano Negro was alittle challenging but well worth the drive when we arrived. Breathtaking

This is a lovely lodge in a beautiful setting. The staff are all very friendly and go out of their way to help. The food is exceptionally good and also very good value for money. After a month of travelling in Costa Rica, I would say it was probably the best food we had the whole trip. ¹

It is a very remote location near the Nicaraguan border so facilities should be judged in that light. It is run by a charming and hard-working family and staff. They work hard on preserving the ecology and attracting birds and monkeys and producing artisanal chocolate and planting cocoa trees and guests are invited to plant a tree for these purposes. They produce excellent guides for bird and animal watching on the Rio Frio. An excellent stay

Excellent location, cleanliness of the room, friendliness of the staff, birdwatching opportunity in the garden very close to the lagoon, opportunity for boat ride on the lagoon with excellent explanation of the surrounding wildlife

That the guide from the hotel, Joseph (also working as check-in manager), shot photos from us during the boat trip w/o asking and did wether share them with us nor deleting them after several requests.

Great location close to the river and easy to explore the area.The bird life is exceptional and the guides very knowledgeable. Staff and owners were very friendly and helpful. The menu was varied and the meals delicious.
