I travelled here with my 3 kids. We really enjoyed the steam house, mud bath and pools. The food was really good- especially the complimentary breakfast. In the morning, I walked up the hill to the back end of the farm and it was an incredible view of the surrounding forests, cattle pastures and mountains. This is a really nice place.

Great local feel boutique resort

We had an amazing one night stay. We are familiar with Costa Rican roads so it wasn't an issue for us to get there. The property is lively. The rooms big, with units spread out an a large property, beds are comfy, water is hot, AC cool.
