Loved the babbling brooke outside of the room. Couldn't beat the price. Enjoyed the stay so much I ended up adding an extra night.

10/10 Exceptional

Very quiet little cabin, near all the activities and a few steps from the trails to the river. Being off season some of the amenities were out of service but we enjoyed the gardens and trails and the covered areas during the rain.

I absolutely love this property, it’s beautiful! Perfect for the entire family. I would recommend this property to anyone. The staff were super nice and accommodating.

Good, but with a few changes, could be great

Good: the property is beautiful! The river sounds are soothing. The buildings are nicely designed and well maintained. The staff was friendly and helpful. It seems like it would be a lovely place to hold an event. Challenges: no hot water to the kitchen sink made us concerned for clean dishes. The wiring connections on the point of service heater on the shower head were a little alarming. Screens for the windows, a screen door for the back door would allow for enegy savings, when it is cool enough, while keeping the bugs and bats out. Also recommend keeping loft windows closed for that same reason. (The back porch bat were fun to watch outside but no one wants them in their room.) Doors need a bit Pland off the bottom to keep from scraping on the floors.

Our family of 5 had a wonderful stay at Cabanas Rio Escondido. The property is beautiful, and the pools were nice for relaxing in after a day exploring La Fortuna. Our family apartment had two balconies - one in front and one in back facing the river. Check-in and check out were easy, and we appreciated the recommendations for transportation and restaurants.

This was a quick in and out for us, just stayed so we would have time in La Fortuna and at Arenal. The home was minimal but just what we needed. The grounds were actually quite lovely, would have explored more if we had stayed longer. Check in and out was easy.

Preiswerte Unterkunft mit charmanten Mängeln.

Der Gastgeber hat sich viel Zeit genommen für die Einweisung (zuviel). Als meine Frau eine Massage buchen wollte, kam seinerseits nichts mehr zurück. Vielleicht hatte er zuviel um die Ohren. Klimaanlage tropft und das Mobiliar ist alt. Trotzdem hat die Unterkunft viel Charme und ist sehr preiswert!

8/10 Very good

Our family of 5 enjoyed our 3 night stay here. The raging river so close to our balcony was impressive after a few days of heavy rain. Beds were comfortable, kitchen well equipped and we had plenty of space for 5. A couple of minor issues being advertised washer/dryer was actually a paid laundry service and pillow menu did not exist when requested although advertised.

Lloc molt agradable i bonic

Les habitacions son senzilles pero confortables. Els llits son cómodes. El soroll del riu que passa just al devant se sent bastant fort pero no va representar-nos un problema per dormir. Hi ha molt mala cobertura de mobil en la zona pero el WIFI funciona molt be

Loved this place, the property is beautiful with lots of trees and the river right behind it that my kids wnjoyed exploring. Felt very inmersed in the Costa rican nature and the place itself had verything we needed and accomodted all of us bif family. Loved the clean white cotton bed sheets and soft mattresses. We cooked several meals there and reated very well. The personnel was excellent and helpful. Had our clothes washed in 2 hours right on time for our trip.Th

2/10 Poor

Closed Down!

We didn't even get to stay there because it was closed! We paid for and booked in advance, got the email for check in which state was from 7 am- 9 pm. Got there at 5 pm and everything was closed. Reception was locked with a sign that said they would be back. There was a number on the door which we called and no answer. We tried messaging but got nothing. We stayed for an hour and no one came so we finally had to go find a new place to stay last minute which cost us a lot and was very frustrating. We finally were contacted later at 9 pm when we already had a place. We asked for a refund and they refused. Very disappointed.

Excellent for a family stay

One of the best places we have stayed in Costa Rica. Large open apaces for the children to run around in, a beautiful river to dip in, a pristine football pitch and very comfortable family rooms with a ery well-appointed kitchen! Credit also to Elias for great communication and a warm welcome. 👍😉
