Lovely host. Unfortunately no one was there when we attempted to check in on the first day and we stayed elsewhere as driving there at night was not safe. Our host had left her sister there to meet us but her sister left. We called 5x and did not get an answer.
Windows need exterior cleaning and screens installed so you can open them. Doors need spaces around them closed up as there were many insects coming in.

Alexandra went out of her way to make me feel welcome. She made a fruit smoothie and coconut snack as a welcome treat. The Tico studio was very functional and fit the jungle environment.
The bed was very comfortable and with the sound of the rain I fell asleep quickly and awoke refreshed. Honestly the best sleep and rest if the trip.
Alexandra made empanadas and tea for breakfast. Totally unexpected as the description didn't indicate that breakfast was included.

Host provided anything that was needed. Sandria was welcoming and friendly. Recommended great place for sunset. Was like staying in a tree house. Lovely view of the forest. Very quiet area. Private and secure.
