Super location. Every single one of the stuff was super friendly and accommodating. The owners are very eager to always upgrade and maintenance the entire property. The food is excellent, good choices. The stuff made us aware of animal sightings right on the grounds (sloth, monkey). Beautiful natural bird watching setup, great to take photos. Very relaxing atmosphere. The offered boat excursions were excellent. Great guides and a lot of wildlife to watch and photograph. If you like fishing - this is the place to go! We really enjoyed our conversations with the owners Marina and Pablo.

Nothing. Just a personal idea we gave to the owners: Rubber boots to borrow for rainy days

We loved this property. Cano Negro is less visited by tourists and the surrounding community was very friendly. The property has everything you need and the food was delicious - the owners are a lovely family and the staff truly cared about us and wanted us to have a great time Definitely recommend the bird watching boat tour, it was one of the highlights of our trip. We booked both the AM and PM boat trips are they visit different parts of the river, we saw so much wildlife despite visiting when the water level was peak high

The general location is nice, very close to the river, which is a major attraction. The restaurant was OK for dinners. The room was large and quiet.

The lodge is good, but not great, quite a few thing could be improved, marginal light in the bathroom, thin blankets, no TV, getting a hairdryer was challenging. While dinners were good, the breakfasts were semi OK, but selection was very-very limited. It's OK for couple days, but they do have some room for improvement.

Caño Negro is remote and the road is not too great but the lodge is a quiet place surrounded by beautiful nature. The place is very nice and spacious. The room is a bit outdated but looks clean. Some of the staff is not very experienced in how to put the customer on #1 but they are really friendly.

The prices are quite high in comparison to the basic rooms. The portions of the food are very small. Also you have to make a menu choice the day before but it would be more customer friendly if you can just order when you are having breakfast, lunch or dinner.

The facility is so great, lovely garden and a nice pool area. We got great support from the reception to book tours. The staff are very friendly and professional. The food is excellent, the chef is very professional. The whole facility was very clean. The manager and his family are very welcoming. We highly recommend this place.

Very nice swimming pool, just what’s needed to cool off from the heat.

No wifi apart from the main building; given that the whole point of coming to this area is for a tour on the river, it should be more seamless to book a trip - we got one in the end, though they threatened that we would have to pay ‘extra’. We didn’t, in the end, pay extra, but the whole process seemed harder than it should have been.

Quiet, room besides forest, lot's of birds, monkeys, deers. Lovely trails. A very short walk, the Rio Frio is bustling with birds, caymans and other animals.

Room needs a small fridge and a ceiling fan. The AC is adequate, but the fan would make the air circulate and the fridge allow to have drinks in the room without having to ask for ice all the time.

Beautiful property. Rooms nice and comfortable. The staff couldn’t have been nicer and more accommodating. Enjoyed the swimming pool and the bird feeder that encouraged many birds to stop by, giving us a close look. The monkey families in the trees were fun to watch.

The setting of the lodge was just beautiful so many wonderful birds, trees and flowers. Joseph at the Lodge was a perfect host, very knowledgeable about the surroundings and wildlife. Fabulous guy who looked after us for two days. The pool area with the swim up bar was superb. Both afternoons we had the company of a family of monkeys passing through 🐒🐵 was unreal, just perfect.

The road into Cano Negro was alittle challenging but well worth the drive when we arrived. Breathtaking

This is a lovely lodge in a beautiful setting. The staff are all very friendly and go out of their way to help. The food is exceptionally good and also very good value for money. After a month of travelling in Costa Rica, I would say it was probably the best food we had the whole trip. ¹
