We toured with Michael, a young, fabulously enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. We saw SO many frogs, at least 8 different types, and got excellent close up pictures of bunches of them. He even got great pics of a fer-de-lance viper that was off the trail with a pair of binoculars for everyone.…

We visited as a family (kids are 10 and 7) and did the 2-hour night walk. All four of us loved it! I 100% recommend this if you're in the Arenal area. Juan was our guide and he was incredible. Not only was he an expert on the wildlife, but he taught us so much about photography too!! After some guidance from him, we took far better pictures than we ever have before. And most importantly, we saw so much wildlife!! Lots of frogs ... iguanas ... a kinkajou ... lots of different insects ... all within a few hundred yards of where we parked. We came back a different morning for breakfast and it was just as lovely. A great meal, surrounded by so many beautiful birds.…

Just go ... no, seriously, just book and go, it's amazing! I'm a tree frog freak, I mean I even have a tree frog tattoo ...simply exquisite setting, sublime plants, humongous coral snakes, bullet ants the size of your thumb and froggies galore! One of the best experiences of sharing local knowledge of the wildlife I've had :))…

If you're a wildlife lover and especially a bird watcher, this place will enchant you. The ecolodges are set amongst a thick lush garden, a jungle even... At night, except for the path illuminated by soft "mushroom lights", it's pitch black. All you can hear is the wind shaking the trees and the rain dropping on the roof of your cabana. We had the lodge number 6 which seems to be the darkest one, the only downside of our stay. Otherwise, the bed was comfortable and the ceiling fan gave us enough freshness for the night. After all, you're only here for sleeping.The rest of the time you will be exploring the national park of dipping in the nearby hot springs... At breakfast, all sorts of colourful birds and other squirrels are feasting on the fruits displayed around the restaurant. Don't forget your camera! The staff is excellent, friendly and efficient. Before sunset, you can walk to the town, it will take around 30 minutes but best to pick up a taxi back.…

We were there on Friday night, before the Corona shut down. We were the only guests. We had a fabulous place. Our hot springs closed, so we had dinner there. Very tasty. During breakfast, a cassock and her baby came by. We got in late and had to leave early, so we didn't get to walk trails. When this blows over, I would like to come back.…
