Ana and Pablo are really friendly hosts. The cabin had everything we needed. The location and surroundings are breathtaking. Really peacefull and nature everywhere you look. Good place for birding. We walked some trails on the property as well, for example the tapir trail. Very nice. Food was good as well, especially the yoghurt and home made granola at breakfast.

That we could not adopt Vito the dog :))))

This is a very special place. We were welcomed by two cute adorable dogs. The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful. The peaceful little cabins are surrounded with tropical plants and lovely gardens giving you total privacy. There is no need to close the curtains as you are one with nature. Spending time on the balcony with the artisan rocking chairs and hammock is so calming and relaxing. Lots of nice trails to walk. The meals were special and we chatted with many people at breakfasts and dinners. We now have a couple that we hope to keep in contact with and perhaps meet up with again. The highlight of our stay was the chocolate tour with Pablo who knows all there is to know about chocolate. He travels world wide to taste chocolate. Pablo spends quality time with all of his guests as this farm is clearly his passion. You can feel the love and passion he pours into this place.

After a month in Costa Rica, this was one of our highlights. It is a beautiful, well kept property. We loved the main eating area and cabins. The chocolate tour was wonderful! We enjoyed the area and walked the trails- lots of birds! Even the gift shop was good - with reasonable prices!

The only negative were the roads getting to the property. All good except the last 10 km or so.

Words can hardly describe the place. It is a cocoa plantation (which is hard to see as it is all so harmonically blended in) with the ambience of a well-maintained English park, were it not for the tropical plants. The breakfast/lunch place is a huge airy wooden place which overlooks the gardens. And yes, the rooms have no air-con, but as they are 360 degrees shielded with fly screens it is surprisingly bearable for us Europeans; and the jungle noises at 5 in the morning are overwhelming. The hosts were the most friendly people we have met in entire Costa Rica; they were giving us the feeling to be welcomed as friends rather than "objects handled for payment" as we felt so often elsewhere. Thank you very much for your hospitality, Pablo and Ana!

We don't know if it's a drawback at all ... the lodge is sort of "offline land" with poor mobile signals and WiFi only in designated places, but on the other hand it is proof that one does not actually _need_ to be connected 24/7. It goes pretty well (for a while) without :)

We liked everything. Staring from amazing owners Pablo and Anita. You guys really rock! Your staff is also very nice and your dogs are adorable. I am already missing the black one. Then the food (breakfest, lunch, dinner) is so yummy and the tours that you offer are exceptional and not expensive at all. I can especially recommend horse ridding, but waterfall in the canyon was also very good. Then the propery and all the space that you offer is just wow, the trails at your proprery are well mentained and last but not least the cacao trees, Pablo's passion and stories and your delecious chocolate. The best place to stay and enjoy in CR ever. We loved it and we would like to return.

Absolutely nothing. All was perfect.

The staff and owners were so great. They helped organize great trips for us! The waterfall excursion was great and the trip to the dairy farm was fun for kids. I really enjoyed the peace and quiet.

The property was remote and Provo ate which is lovely but be prepared to need your own car or hire transports. Also, due to the remoteness of the area be aware that there is no wifi or service which is not a big deal but made it harder for kids to keep up with some school work. There is one spot with service that was available for guests.

The location of this peaceful, beautiful place was ideal for unwinding and relaxing. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous, the staff/owner were both friendly and engaging. We had several great conversations with the owner, who is a fascinating individual who has a wealth of knowledge about the country. I loved the perspective and approach the lodge has towards sustainable agriculture. Although the location is far from the entrance to the nearby park, there is still plenty to do in the area.

The hosts, Ana and Pablo, were SO kind and involved in making your stay wonderful. Absolutely need to do the chocolate tour-they make an exceptional product and teach you so much. The property is stunning....pics don't begin to show you how beautiful it truly is.

Everything was exceptional. Make sure you have a 4x4 vehicle to get to the property...this is standard in many parts of Costa Rica.

This is the best place we have stayed in our costa trip so far (4 weeks in). The setting is gorgeous with the trees and birds. Only the sound of nature at night. So much breeze from the netted open windows. No bugs which is a surprise for the location. Huge bed, hot water shower and hammock on the terrace. Very warm welcome.

Wifi was spotty and only by the main building - understand that it’s meant to be a get away and not too much of a bother if you don’t have any trip planning to do.

Lovely well appointed cabins on a cacao farm we chose to stay at since we were interested in learning more about the production of chocolate. The owners are wonderful people dedicated to their work, product, organic methods and the natural environment of their country, and they are most welcoming and friendly. We found the tour/presentation to be engaging and the included meals were tasty and generous. There is also a small gift shop.

It really is in the middle of nowhere, distant from everywhere else we wanted to visit.
