Mariska - 03/21/2026

Excellent bungalows, beautiful views. Heater and pile of blankets were very welcome. Fantastic restaurant with a balcony with feeding boards that attracted so many birds that you could sit and watch them all day long. Very friendly people.

Cold water for the shower

The owners are very friendly and helpful. They also run the restaurant across the street called Miriam’s Quetzal which has a patio overlooking a valley with dozens of hummingbirds and various other birds feeding right in front of you. And the food is delicious!

Hot water in the shower takes some practice to get it to work.

The wooden cabin concept (small but charming). Proximity to quetzals. Cleanliness. Additional heating. The covers. Booking a guide. We saw a couple of Quetzals.

A little cool to take the shower. For hot water, you should not run the water too hard because the water heater will not be able to heat the water. If we are satisfied with a little rain, the water is warm.

Very warm and comfortable chalets with heating and blankets. A beautiful view of the cloud forest, the hostess runs the small restaurant opposite offering typical dishes at really reasonable prices. A mini souvenir shop but all in very good taste, not the ones you see everywhere. A terrace where hummingbirds frolic. And what's more, the hostess's husband found us a guide for a successful quetzal outing. Everything was perfect.
