This is heaven on earth for birdlovers and photographers. The road to the lodge has a lot improved over the last 5 years. Only the last 1.5km are dirt road. The lodge is very nice with huge and spacious rooms. They now have also AC in the room. The food is excellent with 3 choices for lunch as well as dinner. They have 2 platforms where you can photograph the entire day birds. And there are a lot of birds. They also have other activities like hummingbird of bats photography. Finally, the people are very very kind

Stayed for 2 nights, 3 days. Meals were very good, every employee very friendly. Room while nothing fancy was spotless and sheets were nice and soft. We were there for birding and it did not disapoint. Many thanks to the night guard for helping us to find the Central american Screech Owls and the White Cotinga.

It's a good place for bird watching but that's all !!!!! The food is terrible, it's a poor buffet for all meals and expensive for the quality. The room was awfull with a dripping smell and at 4am the room was flooded because of the toilet !!!! And nobody at the hôtel except the guard to help us. So we wait outside from 4am until 6.30am that somebody take care of the problem. I won't recommend this place too expensive for what it is. Also I don't recommend the boat tour. It start to late in the morning (8.30am), so you won't see nothing really interesting and the guide was sleeping on the boat !!!!! And for the night tour, the guide yells instead of talking softly so animals escape !!!!

This is great birding lodge, both on its grounds proper and the whole area around it. The rooms and public areas are spacious, clean and comfortable. The beds comfortable, the water hot and with pretty good pressure. Food is good and well done for the most part. The staff is phenomenally friendly, helpful and attentive. The feeders attract all kinds of interesting and not at all run of the mill birds. This was the only place on out trip that had an outside chance of my seeing an Agami Heron. I didn’t, apparently one had ben spotted a week before our arrival. (Two different Tiger-Heron species were super stand-ins.) The only downsides were no AC or Wifi in the rooms. I’d be happy to come again. Forgot to say: The lodge has two vintage Land Rovers still functioning, though exceedingly well worn. Took 78 photos for my son who models miniature R/C cars and he was ecstatic at being able to get rare details.

This is a great place for bird photographers. They are well setup to accommodate a photographers needs. They serve 3 meals a day for a reasonable price and the food was quite good. Accommodations are very basic but okay. The staff are very helpful and accommodating and always try to please their guests
