A very good option to consider in the area, especially for the natural surroundings and the jungle experience, located close to the beach at the top of a hill. The sound of animals is constant, and the vegetation is very lush. The cabins are nice and comfortable as long as you accept the place's open approach. Great yoga space for training, very good parking. Friendly service, always ready to help with whatever we needed. There was an issue with the water, which Ariane addressed.

Arianes place is lovely. theres a few casitas on the property but it still felt very private. everything was clean and Ariane was quick to respond if anything was needed. the hammocks and deck area are definitely the highlight of the space. some points of note (and by no means negatives in my opinion but some things for guests to be aware of), if its important to you - the water pressure isn't great and the water gets warm rather than hot but it is (i believe) on a gravity fed system so water still flows during power outages (bonus), the wifi was spotty at times shutting down around 11pm sometimes and early morning, it's at the top of a steep, but short hill so if you dont have a vehicle expect some extra calorie burn, the bug net doesnt close properly on the bed but using elastics or clothes pins to keep it shut worked fine for me (just need to get creative). overall excellent value, great place to stay, I would certainly be back. excellent costa rica vibes

This was such a wonderful place to stay. I loved the open air concept, the bed was extremely comfortable, and relaxing in the hammock on the porch every day was so peaceful listening to the birds and frogs. I would definitely stay at Ariane’s place again. I think it’s important to call out that guest should expect there to be ants, geckos, and harmless small spiders in the bungalow. It is open air and in the jungle so occasionally there will be critters. If you leave them alone, they will go away on their own.

Beautiful accommodation!!! It really is a unique and magical experience! The place looks like a fairy tale and Ari is a super nice person! Super good communication! The wifi is impeccable! I worked a month from there! And Ari was very kind to adjust the time the wifi was on because I had to work from 4 am. The yoga deck is amazing and can be used if it's free! The only thing was that I had to postpone the meetings to 6 am, since from 4 am to 6 am you can't make noise (it's a restriction in Puerto Viejo)! I would definitely come back!! The beach nearby is beautiful, and it's ideal to rent a bike since the supermarket is a 20-minute walk away. But with the bike it's great! I recommend it 100%! The place and the contact with nature is really a dream! I saw animals every day, and the sounds of the environment were amazing! Amazing decor, bathroom and bed!

Ariane is a great host- very responsive and helpful throughout our stay! Overall we had a great, relaxing experience. However, from the listing we thought this was a private and secluded place but you are actually in a little community with a couple other bungalows. Other than that the wildlife is amazing, lots of animals to see and hear! (If you’re a light sleeper bring some earplugs lol) This is a nice spot if you’re into nature and simplicity (:

A very comfortable cabin, nice and quiet, it's fantastic to be able to cook among the trees, at night you can hear the howler monkeys and many other animals, the location is very good, you can walk to the beach, there are many activities to do and very good beaches nearby, you have a soda (Caribbean restaurant) a few meters away, we stayed 6 days and we didn't miss anything, we cooked and we even worked from the cabin (the wifi works very well), Ariane and her husband have been very kind and have been attentive to everything. Totally recommended.

Spent 5 awesome nights here. Ariana scrambled to accommodate our last minute booking - thank you!!! Peaceful quiet setting with a population of resident agoutis which were super cute and fun to watch. Walkable to the beach and restaurants. Great to be accessible to all this stuff but removed from the direct ‘action’ for peace and quiet when you want it. Cabin is basic but as pictured. This is a rustic jungle experience, not a Ritz Carlton so set expectations accordingly. Has everything you need and nothing you don’t. Lack of AC was a non-issue as nighttime temps and the fan made things very comfortable. We did the indigenous cacao tour with Ariane which was a lot of fun plus a handful of on-site Yoga sessions during our stay. Excellent experience overall. Starlink wifi was fast and I saw other guests having regular Zoom calls but I lost adequate signal during my one scheduled call and had to bail. Not sure if it was the wifi or spotty power that is notorious in CR. 5 stars overall
