The property is an attractive colonial style house set in expansive and beautiful gardens, which attract lots of wonderful wildlife including sloths, toucans, agouti and iguanas. Across the road from the guest house is the ocean, and beyond the gardens there is forest. Marise and Pierre were very kind and helpful and keen to show us the animals. There were a couple of restaurants very close by, and Cahuita village is just a ten minute walk away with lots of choice in where to eat .

We perhaps ( because of our budget) didn’t choose the best room which was comfortable and very well equipped but quite small and dark - all the other rooms were bigger and brighter - we will know for next time!

It was a room in the main building. The room was quite big and had a small kitchen with some utensils, a fridge, basic coffee maker, kettle and toaster. There was a sitting area in the front. The pool was very nice. Garden beautiful and well taken care of with two sloths, many iguanas and birds, frogs, crabs. The owners were nice and friendly, they showed us were to look for the animals. Pierre was especially passionate about animal life and told us some interesting stories. We got some recommendations of places to eat and visit. There was a black beach just in front of the property.

The AC in the room was installed in a way that it was only covering part of the room, freezing one person in a single bed so that others could have comfort. There were some plumbing issues in our toilet after power cut.

Excellent location in Cahuita - beach right in front, restaurants nearby, cca 15 mins to the main road and centre, so still quiet but in reachable destination to all that you need in such a location. absolutely amazing garden - a national park itself :-) an enthusiastic owner that shows you all the animals and tells everything in a friendly tone. all the service from the owners was excellent, including recommended contacts for guides, rentals and transfer to San Jose - many thanks!

Beautiful house in thoughtfully planted gardens, in order to encourage wildlife (of which there was plenty!). Our room had its own private outside seating area, and space to hang wet swimsuits. Inside, a fridge/sink/coffee and tea making facilities and cutlery/crockery. There was a BBQ and honesty bar by the pool. Marise was very welcoming, showing us around the garden and pointing out the sloth, iguanas, the spots to look out for frogs, and how to recognise a toucan call. Pierre is very knowledgeable about the local wildlife and has a great zoom lens to point out anything he spots. The beach is just across the road, my daughter loved jumping/ducking the waves. It's a 15-20 min walk to the centre of Cahuita, and the National Park entrance. There's a big supermarket, a couple of smaller ones, and plenty of places to eat. We went next door to Brigitte's for delicious pancakes in a lovely shaded setting (red and green frogs enjoyed the setting too!) A wonderful start to our Costa Rica holiday, we adapted to 'tico time' well here!

Nothing to dislike!

The grounds are beautiful and home to several native animals. The room we had was large and comfortable. Our host, Anna, was charming, friendly and helpful. It's an easy walk to the beach and to nearby restaurants.

My only complaint is lack of screens on the doors. Note that not all rooms have a/c, and it gets quite hot and humid.

The owners were super friendly and helpful. The grounds and pool are beautiful. The bed is comfortable and the AC worked well, which is important because it’s very hot in the area.

We were in the room at the end on the first floor. An upstairs room has a better view from the patio and feels more open. It was hard to operate the shower to get the right temperature and the TV/Netflix didn’t always work.

Fantastic place with a beautiful garden, plenty of wildlife! The hosts are super welcoming, taking their time to show you around and help spot the animals (sloths, toucans, lizards etc). The pool is also very nice as well as the beach just across the street - it has shade, more sloths and feels safe for kids. We would have happily spent more time there!

Everything was just perfect!

Wonderful property and owners. A garden oasis. Steps from the beach and a quiet road. 10 min walk to a number of restaurants and good grocery store. We had a cabin and it was wonderful and fully equipped. Great pool, quiet garden, lots of animals. Marise very responsive and offered helpful advice. We’re returning!

Nothing negative to report

Its just this amazing garden in a little town called cahuita. You will find sloths, toucans, gutti’s, frogs, hummingbirds and many other beautiful animals just on the premisis alone. The property is really nice and very boutique. We stayed in the yelllow bungalow which was very well equipped

All was great.

I would give this guesthouse 7 stars if that were possible. The staff were exceptionally friendly & helpful. The grounds are a tropical paradise full of birds, butterflies & other wildlife. The rooms are clean & comfortable surrounded by the beautiful gardens.
