We loved our stay here and extended it twice. Comfortable rooms, private bathrooms, great facilities. Best parts were the welcoming staff and relaxing vibe of the place. We wouldn't stay anywhere else in Cahuita. There is a gardener working on the mangoes, we weren't bothered by them.

Best hostel we've stayed in! The staff were brilliant, gave us lots of free fruit and home made jam. We got a free up grade on our accommodation too. The gardens were lovely and well maintained. Daily visits from howler and white faced monkeys were a high light. Also the swimming pool,very clean and well maintained was most welcoming after the hot and humid weather.

Quite possibly the worst hostel i have stayed at. Got almost no sleep even with ear plugs.there are a few huge mango trees right on top of all the rooms that drop mangoes every 5-10 minutes on top of the tin roofs. The mangoes make a loud bang sound when they hit the tin roof. Even during the day the sound is alarming and very annoying. Any lodging’s number one goal should be providing good sleep for their guests and this one fails miserably at that. Good luck getting any sleep.
