An amazing escape into the jungle! Get ready for a pure jungle experience, to sleep to the sounds of nature and eat breakfast with butterflies. definitely a unique place to reconnect with nature, super host Marleen will hook you up. It was awesome to have a few nights of off grid living and get back to nature- go for it!

Marlene was a great host and a wonderful communicator. She lives full-time on the property and is always close by if you need her for anything. The experience was a true eco stay tucked in the jungle and away from the busy streets of the town. Worth a stay if you're looking to truly immerse yourself in nature

Die Unterkunft kann ich wärmstens weiterempfehlen. Die Erfahrung im Dschungel zu übernachten, war genial. Marlene war unkompliziert, hilfsbereit und gut erreichbar.

Si vous souhaitez vous reconnecter avec la nature, c’est l’expérience incroyable que Marleen vous propose. Oui il n’y a pas d’électricité mais qui en a besoin quand la faune et la flore qui vous entoure est aussi magique ? La magnifique maison de bois de Marleen offre une vue à couper le souffle sur la forêt environnante et vous habituerez très vite à vivre au rythme du soleil. La nuit et son ambiance aux bougies vous plonge dans une expérience unique. Pour couronner le tout, Marleen est aux petits soins pour ses hôtes. Toujours disponible pour discuter de la vie comme des beautés de son jardin. Elle vous aidera à préparer vos shampoings à base d’iris et vous proposera les œufs des ses poules au petit déjeuner. Je vous recommande de vous immerger quelques jours dans son monde pour en sortir apaisé et peut être même avec un peu de recul sur vos véritables besoins quotidiens.

Unique, an einem besonderen Ort, unmittelbare Natur, mitten im Dschungel! Wir haben 2 Nächte an Anfang September bei Marleen verbracht, der 300m Fussweg von der Straße ist etwas nervig, aber Ihr bekommt dafür Natur pur in liebevolle Baumhäusern bzw. Schlafplätzen. Vor Regen und Mücken geschützt (wir hatten keine), professionell vom Tischler Felix errichtet und an der offenen Küche köstlich gefrühstückt, weil Marleen schon früh auf dem Markt war, ist es ein Erlebnis! Wer das etwas Andere sucht, findet hier eine tolle Natur-Erfahrung! Eine Dusche und ein WC sind vorhanden, sauber und funktionierend UND Strom gibt es keinen, ladet einfach Euer Phone (für die Taschenlampe) auf und dann passt alles gut! Ihr werdet sehen und hören, wie energetisch dieses Retreat ist.

If you want to have a real jungle experience, I highly recommend this place. You do have to walk through the jungle to get to this place, but just prepare for mud and a bit of a slippery path. I would reccomend this place again, you just have to be prepared for no electricity (so charge your phone ahead of time), and candle light.

Truly a lovely experience for jungle novices. Marleen and Felix are as awesome as the immersive property they’ve built an oasis within. I would come back in a heartbeat on my next trip to the Caribbean coast.

What an incredible jungle getaway. If the idea of rainwater showers in a totally open garden bathroom, visited by hummingbirds and the most BEAUTIFUL butterflies sounds like your kind of experience then visit Marleen (& Felix's) place. A magical jungle walk from the road will lead you into an oasis of wall-free tree houses that centre around a shared kitchen. Even in rainy season this place hums with life and magic. We needed to detox and unwind - so no electricity and peaceful surroundings allowed us to settle into that vibe immediately. Marleen is super kind and so accommodating, the dogs and cats are the sweetest. It's natural living in the best way, a one-off experience you will never forget. Give your self this gift!

Marleen’s place is very unique! If you want to get a taste of Costa Rica’s wildlife this is the perfect place for you. This spot is focused on a “great outdoors” experience. You will see plenty of wild monkeys and so many other animals and insects. It’s very nice and relaxing. Marleen will provide you with many local tips too!

Прекрасное место в Коста Пике, недалеко от пляжей, но при этом находящееся прямо в джунглях, где вы останетесь наедине с многими представителями местной лесной фауны. Совершенно уникальный опыт слияния с природой, где нет стен и вы наблюдаете ее круглые сутки. Особенно приятно, что вам оказывается вся необходимая помощь для незабываемого приключения.
