It all started with a nice and warm welcome from Huberth and Anyara. The place was super clean and had everything you needed to be considered a Home-Kitchen and cookware, clean bedsheets, bathroom amenities, towels...everything. The rooms were very spacious, and the living room had a lot of natural light. We had morning coffee on the balcony while enjoying nature. Also included is a very nice pool which we used every single day. It's an must have for all people visiting Costa Rica. We had a really great time.

We really liked Cabanas Los Laguitaos. Nicely located closed to Tenorio park. Betty and David were incredibly nice and helpful and the breakfast delicious. David’s horse riding tour was really a highlight of our stay in Costa Rica. We highly recommend!

What best defines this place is the amazing atmosphere created by the hosts. It’s something truly special, unlike anything we’ve experienced elsewhere. It genuinely feels like a home you become part of during your stay. There’s also the opportunity to see beautiful birds up close from the house’s terraces. The hosts were incredibly helpful in planning our days and recommending activities. Lastly, the fantastic breakfast deserves a mention—it kept us full all the way until dinner. We give this place our highest recommendation and would love the chance to visit again.

    It was safe, very clean and the location was amazing. Just sitting on the balcony we saw a tucan, hummingbirds and a squirrel. And if you're lucky you can even see a sloth! Best of all: the owner!! She's so kind. She did everything to make our stay comfortable! Wish we would have stayed longer!! It's a beautiful place. Close to Tenorio Park. Very recommended!!

    The location is lovely, small wildlife trail behind property, woke up to a sloth, toucans etc, access via owners property to swim in Rio Celeste is a delight. Breakfast good too.

    Location was nice and private at the end of a dirt road. Which we loved the peace and tranquillity. Had neighbouring sloths we could clearly see through binoculars which was a highlight of our stay. Birds were plentiful. Staff was wonderful and accommodating. Even enjoyed an evening game of farkle with them. Breakfast was great.

    The owners of the house were nice and the room spacious for the money you pay. We slept well in the room and it was clean. Location was very close to Rio Celeste, only 10-15 min drive.
