This was one of the most incredible stays we’ve ever had. The views, location, and scenery were breathtaking, and the room was both beautiful and practical. We stayed in the King Suite overlooking the valley, which also had a small rooftop area offering an even more stunning vantage point. From the suite, we could see donkeys and cows roaming below, which only added to the charm and natural beauty of the setting.

Just amazing! Waking up in front of the forest was a mn amazing experience. We spent one day in the family tent and it was very confy except for the extra bed. I would recommend max 4 people. Breakfast was very good and in the master dome with incredible view. We also loved the firepit event in the evening when we had time to meet with others guests! Definetely worth to stay!

Very good overall

The place is beautiful, well located near Poás volcano, in the mountain with a cute garden and view. We stayed in a standard room the first night, a little bit old but comfortable. Second night in a dome ; the setup is beautiful but can be loud at night if windy or rainig and suite cold ! Breakfast was good, well prepared but small portion !
