We were unable to stay here as we couldn't access the property with our luggage. You can only get to it by going over a narrow hanging bridge.
and after that a treacherous walkway. There was no lighting and not even gravel in the parking area -just thick mud given all of the rain in the area.
The only person at the property was the owner, Pierre. we didn't see anyone else working there and we didn't see any other guests or cars.
The location is a bit out of the way to begin with.

Pierre, our host was friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast omelette while watching birds at the feeding stations. The gardens were very enjoyable. Our air conditioned room with our ensuite bathroom with a fantastic shower was wonderful after bird watching in several sites within a short driving distance.

Endroit enchanteur pour les ornithologues
Gentillesse du proprio. Air climatisé. Eau chaude. Tranquillité. Beaucoup beaucoup d’oiseaux pour nous les amoureux de la faune ailée. Avons vu plus de 50 espèces d’oiseaux. Avons vu de petites chauves souris. Avons vu deux paresseux. Beaux jardins de fleurs et de plantes.Très bon déjeuner Costa ricien. Je vous le recommande.

This is a lovely, small hotel in a beautiful rainforest setting. No restaurants within walking distance, but Pierre is a great cook.

Wir haben selten einen so engagierten und netten Gastgeber wie Pierre erlebt.
Frühstück nach Wunsch und auf Anfrage extra für uns ein großartiges Barbecue gemacht.
Er war immer present und ansprechbar. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen.

Unable to access as only accessible by a narrow hanging bridge and we had too much luggage. Also the parking area in all mud. Luckily we had a 4WD vehicle. So we ended up paying and unable to stay there. Since we were unable to get to our room it seemed unfair that we had to pay for it. Also, it's a bit treacherous too on the other side of the hanging bridge - very small pathway and no lighting

Heliconia Island changed hands over the last couple of years. You can no longer get a guided tour of the gardens but they are still beautifully maintained and you can wander through them at your leisure. This place is magical and so who really cares if the accommodations are a bit on the rustic side with squishy mattresses and a cranky electrical system. Breakfast was delicious and accompanied by a wonderful show of tropical birds attracted to the papaya and banana that owner Pier put out for them. We also enjoyed canoeing on the Sarapiqui, but be prepared for a bit of effort to get the canoe down and later up the steep and muddy set of stairs leading to the river.

Lieu idyllique pour de l'observation ornithologique. Il est cependant nécessaire d'accepter de franchir une passerelle qui menace de s'effondrer, dormir dans des lieux insalubres ( air saturé de moisissures, moustiquaires hors d'âge et inopérantes, micro-ondes d'une saleté repoussante, frigo rouillé ainsi que le sèche-cheveux, linge de lit et de toilette tâché, oreillers irrespirables etc...), supporter un hôte qui vous fait partager son tabac pendant votre petit-déjeuner constitué de yaourt yop, jus d'orange en brique, jambon et fromage sous vide pour hamburger et aucun fruit frais ! Pour notre part, une nuit sur les 3 réservées nous a suffit. L'hôte nous a promis un remboursement partiel qui, après 3 mois d'échanges, ne s'est jamais concrétisé, Booking nous laissant gérer le différent entre nous... La malhonnêteté de l'hôte s'ajoute à l'insalubrité du logement pour vous laisser un souvenir mémorable ! À éviter !
