I called this place, emailed them, and even tried to reach them through Hotels.com to get specific instructions for my arrival as you have to take a boat to get to the lodge.

Jungle immersion

Fabulous experience staying in the jungle. Accommodation basic but lying in bed listening to howler monkeys / frogs can't be beaten. Staff extremely helpful and the breakfast banana pancakes when we arrived via water taxi were amazing. Lots of places to sit out in the breeze looking at the river boats and bird watch

The manager of this hotel Gisselle is absolutely amazing :) she goes above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need . The staff are all friendly and it’s stunning . Understand you are definitely going into a remote area and don’t expect more and you’ll be amazed at the rich culture and beautiful nature

This felt like hostel style accommodation at hotel prices. Tired, old towels and gaps that insects could get in. No added extras. Lots of school groups and the day we weee there for breakfast (most times we missed it as out on early start trips) was poor. You can use the Evergreen swimming pool next door, it was nice to see wildlife (daily visit from the monkeys) and we enjoyed the water taxis into Tortuguero. I’d either pay extra to stay at Evergreen (cabins liked a lot nicer) or stay in town. The manager Giselle was lovely and we had an interesting chat about all sorts of things

4/10 Fair

We did not have a good time here, though Giselle was friendly and helpful. 1. Apparently the hotel did not get our hotels.com reservation and did not have our rooms ready. We waited 1.5hrs for one out of our three rooms to be cleaned. 2. The rooms are very basic. The sheets were the thinnest sheets I have slept on. Pillows are lumpy. Rods we're rusty. It really needed updates. There was no hot water. It was clean, but it was old. Giselle brought fresh towels on day 2, which was very appreciated. 3. The pool is out of service and nobody told us. It was disappointing to arrive and see a roped off pool. If not for the pool, we would have booked elsewhere. Giselle said the kids could go in the nearby Evergreen Lodge pool, but not the adults. 3. The wifi did not work at all. We used Evergreen's wifi the first night. It did not work the second night. 4. Food was very basic. Giselle was nice and allowed us to have our included breakfast food at lunch time though. We decided not to have dinner here but go to town instead.

Cet hĂŽtel est au milieu de 2 autres hĂŽtels, l’evergreen et le Monkey, reliĂ©s par un chemin goudronnĂ©. Nous Ă©tions les seuls clients dans celui ci donc pas de buffet. L’hĂŽtel est insalubre, aucune propretĂ©, nous sommes restĂ©s 3 nuits et aucun mĂ©nage dans la chambre, nous avons dĂ» nous sĂ©cher pendant 3 jours avec les mĂȘmes serviettes Ă  raison de deux douches par jour. La chambre est moite, trĂšs humide, ce qui rend le sol glissant.Aucun confort mais vraiment aucun. Ne vous fiez surtout pas aux photos sur les sites, elles datent de plusieurs annĂ©es et ne sont pas du tout reprĂ©sentatives de l’état actuel. Ne vous fiez pas non plus au commentaires qui disent que vous pouvez profiter de la belle piscine du Monkey hĂŽtel, ça c’était avec l’ancienne propriĂ©taire je pense, cet hĂŽtel bĂ©nĂ©ficie d’un point d’eau appelĂ© piscine qui vu l’état ne vous donne pas du tout envie d’y mettre vos pieds. Quand je vois le prix que nous avons payĂ© pour 3 nuits, je regrette vraiment cette rĂ©servation qui est en plus la plus chĂšre que nous avons payĂ© au Costa Rica car selon les photos nous pensions ĂȘtre dans un bel hĂŽtel comme quoi les photos sont anciennes! Par contre, le rĂ©ceptionniste Mario est exceptionnel, serviable. D’une extrĂȘme gentillesse et avec un super cƓur, merci Ă  lui sincĂšrement d’avoir Ă©tĂ© au petit soin pendant nos trois jours. TrĂšs bel endroit dans une jungle avec singes, grenouilles

O local Ă© incrĂ­vel, no meio da natureza. Mas o quarto era muito antigo, sem janelas (sĂł uma tela e cortinas). Com a forte chuva, o frio e a umidade tomaram conta do quarto. O chuveiro nĂŁo estava legal. O atendimento foi muito bom.

The property is unbelievable for wildlife. We had monkeys swinging over us, woke up to howler monkeys, saw frogs, lizards and geckos. The boat ride there was exciting as we saw caiman and lizards, and birds. We did feel a bit isolated there though as you need to take a water taxi to the village across the water. And the rooms were basic. Could use an update. Owners and staff were excellent and very friendly

Die Lage ist wirklich schön, mitten im Urwald. Die Anreise erfolgt mit dem Boot zum hoteleigenen Anleger. Leider sind die Bungalows sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Wir hatten diverse Blutflecken von erschlagenen Moskitos an der Wand. Auf Bildern im Netz sind zum Teil 2 Pools zu sehen. Nur der Pool mit dem grĂŒnlichen Wasser gehört zum Hotel, der andere Pool ist der des Nachbarhotels, der nicht genutzt werden soll. Das Essen (Buffet) ist ok, wir sind zum Essen aber nach dem ersten Tag lieber in den Ort gefahren.

2/10 Poor

Unfortunately this property is need of a face lift. It felt very old and tired. Our bathroom was filthy and the shower felt like it was about to fall off the wall. It was extremely over priced. The huts are over a swamp which, whilst very atmospheric in the rainforest, is also very smelly. The manager and his wife were both very kind and welcoming but it felt like they needed more support. I would not recommend staying here for the price they are asking.

En un seul mot: dĂ©fraĂźchi. Les Lodges sont dans la jungle, petite cabane rustique et dĂ©suĂšte (lit, matelas, literie, serviettes, lavabo, douche et peinture datant des annĂ©es 70 probablement). Les moitiĂ©s haute des murs sont tout le tour en fenĂȘtres de moustiquaire (pas toujours Ă©tanches) sans aucune vitre ni volets. Des vieux rideaux tachĂ©s assurent l’intimitĂ©. Des fourmis sur les planchers, les murs et dans le lit, des moustiques trĂšs fin qui nous ont piquĂ© dans la nuit, des mini grenouilles dans la douche. Imaginez l’humiditĂ© Ă  l’intĂ©rieur, le cri assourdissant et incessant des singes hurleurs toute la nuit, sans compter les autres animaux. Le restaurant doit ĂȘtre avisĂ© d’avance pour y prendre le repas du soir Ă  15$ US pour un spaghetti et un peu de poulet comme seul menu. Les rampes en bois du site sont pourries et la piscine sale et dĂ©labrĂ©e. L’entretien minimal n’est assurĂ©ment plus fait depuis longtemps. Les safe des chambres ne fonctionnent plus depuis longtemps. Le personnel est courtois et fait son possible. ps: je m’arrĂȘte lĂ . Le pire endroit oĂč on a logĂ© dans nos 2 voyages de 11 nuits chacun au Costa Rica.
