Stayed for two nights. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was large -‘d the kitchen had everything needed. They were attentive to my needs. The onsite restaurant was good as well. I enjoyed dinner there both nights. The pool is great and sun chairs plentiful. In the evening, howler monkeys were visible in the distant trees. The beach is a short walk away. I would stay again if visiting the area.

This lodge is truly a hidden gem, and we absolutely loved our weeklong stay here. It’s simple yet has everything you need, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel at home. The owners and staff are incredibly kind and helpful—you can tell they genuinely care about both their guests and the place itself. If you’re looking for a well-maintained, reasonably priced stay with delicious food in a peaceful, local setting, this is the perfect spot. You won’t be surrounded by crowds of tourists, and the beautiful Playa Junquillal—a true gem in itself—is just a five-minute walk away. For those who want a bit more adventure, the staff is happy to arrange all sorts of outings, making it easy to enjoy both relaxation and exploration. We usually lean toward larger establishments, but we were so glad we discovered this special place. We’ll definitely be back on our next visit! A special thank you to Jess for handling our booking, excursions, and everything else we needed—her help made our stay even more enjoyable. And of course thanks to Alice and Bernie.

Fun and enjoyable
We stayed at this wonderful facility for two days midweek and wish it had been longer. The manager “Leonardo”had great information to share about the plants and animals in the area especially the birds. We used this facility in order to be close to the volcano and park so the location was perfect. They provide breakfast and dinner here for a slight surcharge and we recommend this option as our meals were delicious. Most rooms also have kitchen facilities if you choose to prepare your own meals.

We stayed for one night at this lovely hotel and wished we could’ve stayed longer. The pool area and gardens and wonderful and the food was great value and very delicious! The beach is a 5 min walk maximum and the staff are great. Would definitely recommend. We could’ve stayed a week no problem.
