    You order breakfast from a limited list of options. We asked to add one egg to avocado toast and the answer was: yes but you have to pay extra… we were not impressed! If you are taking the ferry I recommend you get there one hour or more if you haven’t booked it in advance. The hotel didn’t mention this and generally I found they weren’t really good to explain things about the hotel and help with practical advice (conditions of the roads with sedan to major routes such as from Monteverde and Quepos and advice on ferry/routes).

    We picked this hotel for their sustainable credentials and we could see once there that they tried their best to follow a much more sustainable approach. The location is just unique and the views are stunning. We gad tent 14 and it was everything and more we could ask for. The room was really comfortable and the monkeys, lizards and racoons kept us entertained! I highly recommend the spa. The massage was great with views to go with it.

    Please put some milk in the fridge at the tent. Morning coffee at the tent is excellent!

    Excellent place for relaxing. The tent was awesome! The people, Xinia, Glenda and Gerardo and Tonio were great and always helpful! Having breakfast at the tent watching the sea was marvelous! Congo monkeys and iguanas where all places.

    My wife and I really enjoyed a relaxing vacation in Isla Chiquita. The staff is incredible. Daniela was amazing. She was very professional, friendly, caring, helpful, attentive. She really went above and beyond to make sure that we were comfortable and had a great time. We had several personal issues that came up and she took care of whatever she could do to help us immediately and we really appreciate her for it. People like her are the heart of places like this and the reason I would consider returning and telling friends and family about this place. I hope she receives a nice bonus or raise for her excellence in hospitality. Javier was also very nice and helpful. Everyone we encountered including the restaurant staff excelled I'n hospitality. The food and drinks at the restaurant there were some of the best we've ever had. The seafood here is top notch. From the delicious red snapper to the amazing ceviche. We had something different there everyday and everything was so good. We enjoyed most days in the tent, deck or pool just relaxing feeling the breeze while admiring the water and forest that surrounded us. It was the perfect relaxing getaway.

    It was not cheap, but it was fabulous. Reduce the rate for the second time and third time you come.

    Everything was tremendous. The staff including the Proprietor was exceptional. We caught the last Ferry and they had our dinner waiting for us as we got there after the kitchen was closed. That set the tone for a tremendous weekend!!!

    Other guests were filling us into details and information for the stay. Also, some guests were told not to go on certain excursions at certain times but that information wasn't passed on to me. Otherwise, the stay was absolutely amazing!

    The service staff was great! Irvin, Rafael and Rene went above and beyond. They were fun to chat with, extremely good at their jobs and kind. Alejandro and Christian did great jobs on all the tours. The room was amazing and it had such a beautiful view. Would highly recommend anyone to visit.

    You do need to keep applying mosquito repellent as there are lots around. Dont even attempt the 1km jungle walk without it!

    Really special rooms. We had one with a jacuzzi on the deck. Although this is a nice thing to have, the best thing about the tents with jacuzzis is that they are higher up and so have stunning views from the balcony

    I can’t think of a single thing that needs improving.

    The staff was the nicest and most accommodating we’ve met in Costa Rica, which is saying a lot because most people in CR are extremely friendly! The views were breathtaking, the glamping tents were luxury tents with everything you needed to be comfortable in a glamping environment. The bioluminescence tour was amazing and the complimentary kayaks, paddle boats and paddle boards provided hours of entertainment for our family. I would have stayed longer had we known how exquisite and unique our stay would be. It was my favorite stay in Costa Rica!

    There isn’t a beach to enjoy. Some of the grounds maintenance could use improving. I highly recommend setting your expectations for this stay—it is glamping, not a 5 star hotel. Unfortunately it seems a little overpriced for glamping but I imagine it must be expensive to run a place like this. My husband felt it was a little too quiet but I loved it for the quiet. I don’t think it’s a great place for children.

    Beautiful island setting in the middle of the Gulf of Nicoya. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Our tent had a spectacular view and was perfectly well appointed for a glamping experience. Lots of wildlife on the property! Food was wonderful! The Bioluminescence boat tour with Nelson is a MUST!
