The hotel's farm-to-table restaurant serves organic meals prepared with ingredients grown on-site. Dishes include wood-fired thin-crust pizza made with daily farm harvests. Guests dine with views of the Pacific Ocean and Gulf of Nicoya. The organic farm operates as a learning center for regenerative agriculture and permaculture.
Nature & Trails
The reserve spans 17 hectares with trails through primary forest, offering views of the Pacific Ocean. Five waterfalls flow through the property, merging into rivers leading to the Gulf of Nicoya. Wheelchair-accessible trails include a hammock garden and a viewing platform overlooking a waterfall. Guided night tours showcase nocturnal wildlife like nine-banded armadillos and Toltecus bats.
Wildlife & Birdwatching
The reserve is a habitat for endangered bellbirds, keel-billed toucans, and blue-crowned motmots. Early morning birdwatching tours spot species like the white-eared brown sparrow and long-tailed manakin. Other wildlife includes white-nosed coatis, capuchin monkeys, and blue morpho butterflies. A 450-year-old strangler fig tree stands in the forest.
Location & Access
The hotel is 90 km from La Fortuna Airport and 1.5 km from Monteverde Orchid Garden. Nearby attractions include Frog Pond Ranario (1.5 km) and Children's Eternal Rainforest (0.5 km). Shuttle services run from Juan Santamaría Airport (SJO) in Alajuela. Public buses depart from Terminal 7-10 in San José.
“This nature reserve, cradled in a protected valley, strikes a rare balance, combining hotel comforts with a genuinely immersive ecological experience. The trails beckon with valley views and promise glimpses of diverse wildlife, while the organic farm deepens one's connection to the land. The eco-conscious traveler finds a distinct appeal here.”
