AI Summary
The staff excels in service, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Rooms are well-equipped and clean, despite lacking air conditioning. Affordable prices for diverse meals, with private kitchens and bathrooms, suit families.

Lovely place to stay for those interested in wild life and nature. Accommodation is basic but that’s not what you come here for. Maps of trails could do with being better

This is a unique place of natural wonders and that makes it difficult to review or compare to other accommodations. This is not your regular hotel with a/c, maid service, restaurant and bar. No, this is a cabin with resident gecko and without a/c. If you eat on site, the meals are cafeteria style, good and hearty. In return, you wake to the sound of Howler Monkeys, toucans and macaws. You walk from your cabin into the forest and you are immersed in the natural world. We love this place. It was our second visit and we will return.

Otima experiência.
Foi uma experiência fascinante, pois incluiu uma trilha guiada na mata com explicações e visualização de animais e pássaros. Pudemos depois explorar por nossa conta.
A recepção é excelente, com duas simpáticas funcionárias nos explicando e dando dicas.
Ponto negativo: o jantar, que poderia ser melhor.

This was an amazing area for birding, either on a tour or just sitting on the patio. Staff was very accommodating and especially helpful when constant rains caused flooding in the river. Our living quarters were roomy although beds were quite firm. The property is several miles from Puerto Viejo, the nearest town so transportation is a little difficult without a car (but taxis are available). All roads n all, our stay here was great!

Tres bien
On ne vient pas pour la deco de la chambre, pour le reste le site est très beau.
Pour les non véhiculé, la marche jusqu'à l'arret de bus ne prends que 15 min

We choose the biological station because of the good reviews and it was great! Off the road and an oasis of silence arrives besides the wildlife. Check in efficient and received good information. We drove back to Arriera, the building name of our room about 1 kilometer from reception and dinning hall. Basic room, good beds, spacious bath room, clean and great to be one with nature. No airco but we didn’t miss it. The fan was sufficient. The food is varied, Costarican and value for money for $15 per meal, no alcohol! We had a pleasant 15 min walk through the forest to reach the dining hall. Pitch dark at night so bring a flash light or your phone. The free 3 hour guided tour was excellent and saw lots of wildlife. Keep in mind that you are a guest of a research station with many students coming to visit. Also day visitors are welcome. Very nice experience, nice staff and beautiful location. You can walk for hours if you want. Strongly recommended!
