My husband and I are artists and always travel with a lot of camera gear. We were looking to get away from NYC for a few days and wanted a laid back tropical environment to explore the native animals and plants. Alby Lodge was perfect. We had cabin #4 which sits furthest into the center of the garden. I felt... More

My Husband and I spent the last 5 days of our Costa Rican Honeymoon in Cahuita. The town itself is not exactly our preference. We were there to explore the park and beaches as well as just hang-out and relax. Thank goodness for Alby Lodge! Yvonne and Thomas were such excellent hosts! Their property is absolutely an Oasis from the... More

The landscape, atmosphere and cabins are nice. They have a lots of birds and monkeys on the site with a nice separate common kitchen area. The mattress and pillows were not comfortable and the toilet didn't flush well but apart from that, the host are nice and it is cheap for what you get.

We cannot comment on the place fully as we did not stay here. Due to a rescheduled flight as a result of bad weather, we arrived a day late and had to cancel our stay here and continue on to Puerto Viejo. We did stop in Cahuita, though, which is a gorgeous town. We drove into Alby and checked out... More

Nice bungalows in an incredible garden. Our bungalow got a little crammed as we were 4 people, would have been perfect for 2. The communal kitchen was great, so clean and well equipped, and it´s really nice so sit there on a rainy day. The national park is a 5-minute walk away and so are the shops and restaurants. We...

Yvonne and Thomas, you have a great set up here. We truly loved our stay with you. Your dogs are so sweet too. The monkeys were incredible to hear in the mornings and at dusk. Such a peaceful place. Our cabina was so cute, and we both felt safe. Each cabina has a safe, and the rooms lock up very... More

Situated in beautiful garden of tropical vegetation and lots of wildlife it was a perfect one week (December 2012) of relaxation for someone trying to escape from stress of daily life. The cabins are built of wood with thatched roofs perfectly in tune with the nature and surroundings. They are clean,... More

Pros: Alby lodge has some nice wooden cabins at the edge of the forest. Our cabin was clean and spacious, and came with a safety box and a ceiling fan. You wake up with the sounds of howler monkeys, it's situated in the middle of nature. Cons: they don't serve breakfast.

Alby Lodge was perfect for our 2-1/2 week stay in Cahuita in Oct./Nov. It just doesn’t get any easier, more fun, or a better value. Yvonne and Thomas were the perfect hosts – never intrusive, but there when needed to keep us comfortable and happy. We arrived as guests, but left (with much sadness) as friends. If you truly want...
