DON’T LET A MOMENT OF YOUR TRIP
GO TO WASTE, MAKE THE NIGHT PART OF THE ADVENTURE.
There
are very few hotels like this in the world, none other like it in Costa
Rica.
All the rooms are built up among the branches of the trees: they are tree houses.
You will
sleep and stay in a tree house that is a fully equipped observatory in
the midst of a wildlife refuge.
Breakfast as well as the use of all the accommodations is included in
the price of your tree house.
Since
the hotel is a wild life refuge the bird watching and wild life
watching is exceptional.
Around
our reserve most of the rain forest has been cut down by their owners to
use the land for agricultural purposes, this makes our hotel an island
where the wildlife finds refuge, food and shelter, a perfect place to
live and procreate.
The
hotel is home to many species of wildlife including howler monkeys,
coati, and several species of wild cats, deer, sloth, kinkajou, agouti,
paca, porcupaine, anteaters, iguanas, poison dart frogs, snakes and many
other species often passing under your tree house, or moving about the
trees surrounding the tree houses unaware of your presence in the canopy.
There
are few places in Costa Rica where you will see so many
species of birds.
There are toucans, parrots, hawks, humming birds and many, many others
visible around.
The
beauty and the number of species of butterfly will amaze you.
In our
hummingbird gallery we have seen as many as 14 hummingbirds of different
species
feeding on a single feeder at
one time and we have 10 feeders in that place along. In addition to the
feeders the hummingbirds can find food in more than 30 species of
Helicon found in the hotel. Many more species of other flowers have
been planted around the tree houses, the main building and along the
trails to attract the humming birds, not to mention the incredible
variety of species of trees and other plants that grow naturally in the
rain forest and offer food and shelter to them.

You will
see all this wildlife all around your tree house, and while you have
breakfast in our verandah here is where we have our humming bird gallery.
We are
situated right on the main road between San Jose and the Arenal Volcano.
This road is not only the main road but it is also in great condition
and is the most picturesque and safe road to the Arenal Volcano and the
Tree Houses. Traveling this mountain road is like visiting a gallery of
pictures, every turn of this road looks like a post card as it goes up
and down the mountains and through many picturesque little hamlets and
towns, it is nothing like anything back home .
You
don’t need a 4 X 4 to get to our place: you can reach us with any kind
of car, even by bus or taxi.
You
will be amaze at the many different styles of constructions of the homes
and buildings along the route; you will see a beautiful garden in front
of the most humble little houses by the sides of the road and all along
the way as this road travels through lush very green hills.
Our
location have easy access to the many attractions available in our area
yet it is away from the beaten path and any heavy concentration of
hotels and restaurants: we are in the midst of the real Costa Rican way
of life.
We are
situated 25 minutes away from the Arenal volcano,
probably
the main
tourist attraction in
Costa Rica, and 15 minutes away from Ciudad
Quesada a typical midsize Costa Rican mountain town. Here, and around
our place, you can eat where the Costa Ricans eat, not where the
tourists eat, adding a new dimension to your experience-and saving money
in the process. But, if you prefer, in Ciudad Quesada you will also find
a KFC and a Pizza Hut, their prices and quality are about the same than
in the US, sorry no McDonald or Burger King.
You will
also find in Ciudad Quesada a few fine restaurants and you can shop in
an exciting and safe environment not found in the bigger cities. You can
stroll on its streets and the park in front of the church or seat there
and enjoy the scenery as people go by.
One
place we recommend is the market, "la plaza" a typical place in the
center of the town where you can have a meal surrounded by the butcher
shops, fish stores, bakeries and all kind of little business, the rural
Costa Rican version of a Mall -nothing like the ones back home.
In our
hotel you will live an unique experience in an unique country.
After you have seen the
volcano with its flowing lava, the waterfalls, the mountains, gone on a
white waters rafting or kayak trip, enjoy the excitement of a canopy
tour after a horse back ride why finish the day by going to sleep in a "normal" room? ,
you can do that at home!... sleep among the branches of the trees
instead, stay in one of our tree houses, and make the adventure go
around the clock.
