This is a fantastic place. Amazing location surrounded by nature. Very welcoming family and delicious food brought to the house. The walk to the waterfall and guided night walk with Wendy was fantastic.

My partner is tall and the bed was a little bit small (Costa Rican size). Nothing terrible, and he get use to it because it is nearly everywhere like that in costa Rica.

This place is authentic, the family is so beautiful and nice. We love the honest and the calme ambiance! Nothing is too much, everything is simple but juste pure. The night tour was beautiful, so we'll explained, and very interesting. The welcoming totally perfect even if we booked last minute. And the breakfast... Just incredible. Not only because of the food, it was very good and gluten free for me, which can be complicate sometimes, but mostly because of the mother. The is a beautiful soul, full of love and kindness. Thank you for everything!

The access road needs a little work

Good sized home. Kitchen was fully stocked

Signage getting to the property is a little confusing. If you're going down the road and you come to a circular sign that says "Wendy's eco house", you've missed the entrance. Back up the road a little ways and you'll find an entrance gate nearby. This leads to the lodges. I initially pulled into the house, and my presence there was very confusing. It took quite a while to work out where I needed to be. Once I figured it out, though, all was good!

This "Guest House" is huge. A family of 4+ could easily move in here and live comfortably. The back decks are beautiful to just sit and watch the jungle. It is a little way down the road from the city, which means it is quiet and very laid back. I had both a breakfast and a dinner while at the guest house. Both were great portions with a lot of variety, tasty, and well worth the money. Unfortunately, my schedule and Wendy's schedule didn't align for her bird tour. There was lots of flora and fauna to explore. My personal sightings included Toucans and a Morpha butterfly. I'm willing to bet that there was a lot I missed that Wendy could have found and shared!

We had an amazing stay at Wendy's place. If you would like a true Costa Rican experience staying with a beautiful family in your own house, then this is for you. Order breakfast and dinner every day and you will be very happy that you did! Wendy's mother brings breakfast to you, and her sister the evening meal. The food is delicious and plentiful and we had enough often to take for lunch when we were out and about. The birding morning with Wendy was great, and she arranged a fantastic river trip where we were the only two folks plus the captain and a young guide! We were adopted by the three family dogs and they almost always accompanied us on our walks up and down the road looking for birds. There is a tree a couple of hundred yards down the road that has 50 plus Oronpendula nests! We loved our 5 nights here and felt like we became part of their family.

We had an amazing stay. The location of the house is perfect, surrounded by nature. Many birds and other animals to see! Wendy and her family are so kind. Breakfast and dinner, made by Rita, tasted really good. Oso the dog showed us the way to a beautiful waterfall and swimming place nearby. Sarapiqui is a nice region, a lot of nature to explore without crowds. Don't hesitate, just book this place. You won't regret it.

This is an extraordinarily special place. The situation is spectacular and the house is extremely comfortable. Wendy and her family are an amazing team with their various roles to ensure a unique experience. Take advantage of Wendy's tours - she is hugely knowledgeable. Her mother and sister prepared wonderful food for us. Altogether an unforgettable time.

wow what a great lodge. it is situated in the forest and from your balcony you have a marvellous view. the lodge itself is spacious and has all needed facilities. outside you will find a lot of different birds (birdwatching tour is highly recommended). just a short hike from the lodge there is a beautiful waterfall. Wendy and here family have treated us like family and we felt totally welcome.

Wendy was welcoming and informative. The lodge was great lovely inside and outside balconies with fabulous get away from it all views. Great walk to waterfall nearby accompanied by our two lovely dog companions. We would recommend a car for further exploration. Dinner and breakfast were great and prepared by family members for a real at home experience with traditional cooking

Nothing - we cannot fault our stay.

Wendy runs these lodges on behalf of the entire family who are resident nearby and what an amazing job she does! We loved our stay in Eco Lodge 1. It had everything we needed for our 2 night adventure in Sarapiqui. We also enjoyed a fab evening frog tour with Wendy who is so knowledgeable. She also kindly organised in house massages with her sister which were so relaxing and good value. Wendy also organised white water rafting and chocolate tours for us, which we cannot fault and would highly recommend. We were also lucky to walk to the local waterfall which was just breathtaking. The views from the balcony, the comfy beds, the space and the well stocked kitchen was perfect for us to experience beautiful Sarapiqui. Hot water too! The value for this stay is just incredible.

Our experience was wonderful, we were sorry that we couldn't stay longer. The house is very comfortable, clean, calm, and the view is incredible. Wendy was an great host, she immediately made us feel welcome, and pointed us to good activities nearby. I would definitely recommend staying here and would go back without hesitation.

Authentic experience, amazing hosts. A wonderful family. Much more to the place and family that own and run the accommodation than just running the accommodation. An inspiring bunch of humans that have lots of great ideas, talents and a big heart x Wendy is also an exceptional nature guide, loved our night tour. The waterfall close by is amazing and very quiet (we had it our ourselves). The food was delicious and the dogs were fabulous too, followed us everywhere! We saw so much and wildlife from our balcony.. Howler monkeys, toucans, macaws, hummingbirds.. A little piece of true Costa rican magic right there 💙🌍 I'd love to return one day.

Nothing. It was all amazing.

The most brilliant accommodation! Looks straight out onto beautiful forest from both balconies. very well kitted out kitchen and comfortable beds with mosquito nets. Walk to the waterfall to swim and private night tours by Wendy were fantastic as were the meals cooked by her family. Can’t praise it enough!

Extremely beautiful and comfortable wood house right in the middle of the forest. Fantastic facilities in the kitchen, two balconies (one in each floor), and beautiful interior. I wish we could have stayed longer.
