The people were AMAZING! Javier, Gabriel, Carolina, and Brooke were so hospitable, and truly lovely, beautiful, people. It was a pleasure getting to know and spend time with them- we will definitely return !
The beach is right on the property- so you can dip into the water any time you like! The food was wonderful ( Javier is a magnificent chef!) we will miss this place.

The tranquil vibe of the resort was perfect.
The tranquil vibe of the resort was perfect. The garden and the covered terrace provided relaxation in the shade from the sun and the relaxing sound of rain landing on palm fronds during the normal daily tropical rain that’s common during the time of year that we visited. Just a step outside the garden and we were on the beach. The children played in the sand and gathered seashells while my wife and I relaxed in the shade. Our son fell asleep in the hammock between two palm trees. Life is good.

Not fussed about San Carlos, stayed in nicer towns.
Not fussed about San Carlos, stayed in nicer towns. But the people were friendly. Small village, we walked everywhere. Lots of potholes in streets and broken pavements. Just a few minutes walk from the bus stop on the highway to where we were staying: always good! Couldn't find any activities although I understand they do surf there.Barry HullAustralia - 2.0Scored 2.0

The host is really nice but the place is quite dirty and there are too much noise out on the streets and you can hear that through the wall easy. Some rooms are very small and some apartments are bigger, the pictures at booking are marvelous...but!!??. We have been warned about the direct heating function of shower water at the top of the shower Nozzle, this might be very dangerous, again the owner is quite nice, no question this a back packer place with a dusty road outside the door.

- From $110 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very GoodRated very good· 294 reviewsFriend m the moment we stepped foot on the property we were in love. The resort is serene and peaceful, the rooms comfortable with great beach views and the hosts, staff and food were amazing. It may not be everyone if you want a standard hotel. If you are looking for a chill vibe and a surf lesson then this is the perfect place to stay. Everyone here are so friendly and helpful to provide information about the area. We only wish we could stay longer.
JenniferUnited States of America - 8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 32 reviewsThe host was excellent, very good breakfast with fresh-made coffee and the room was very clean. It is the first time in a hotel/lodge where I've smelled the freshness of the sheets in the bed; it felt like home. It was walking distance to the see, although the nearest beach is full of rocks and not pleasant to swim in. A few hundred meters to the west is a surf beach; the first beach in Panama where I could body surf.

Communication with the owners were great.
LookingForAwesomeUnited States of America - From $110 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very GoodRated very good· 294 reviewsFantastic location in the middle of nature. The hotel is located on the crossing between a river, a lake and the ocean. We stayed only one night and had some amazing wildlife encounters: big frogs came out at night, we saw a bright green iguana and a snake. And we had hunmingbirds flying around us in the garden.DiederikNetherlands
