Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: It feels like you are staying inside the jungle it’s really great, I had the whole lodge to myself, I slept really well, Elise the one managing the property was super sweet. It’s very calm and it feels authentic. Also the location is great, pretty close to Santa Teresa without having the craziness of the town. Also the beaches in Malpaìs are sooo nice and with way less people
Negative: I felt lonely, it’s not great if you want to meet people, but it’s ok, it’s good to disconnect
Summary: Very calm, authentic and in nature
