"It's a basic but nice hotel. We stayed for 3 nights to explore the area. The rooms in the back are right in the forest. There is not much in the room. A chair and a shelf in the bathroom would have been nice. We visited the Braulio Carrillo National Park, a 40-minute drive from the hotel. It was very quiet (Dec. 27th). It is a great park with an aerial tram and two short walks. We saw a lot of animals. The hotel booked a private boat tour for us (six adults) for around $100. The dock is a 5-minute walk from the hotel, and again, it was very quiet. We saw many monkeys, alligators, and other animals. The pool was under renovation, so that was a disappointment. The staff was friendly, the breakfast was a buffet, and we had enough choices. If you want to explore a beautiful area in Costa Rica that is quieter than some other parts of the country, I recommend staying a few nights at Hotel El Bambu. "

"The staff were very friendly and helpful."

"Beautiful eco resort by the river. We went to sleep listening to the river and saw a great many bird watchers and photographers on the site. Two very different restaurants and a nice pool. The howler monkeys put on a great show by the pool. "

"Staff was wonderful and the grounds were great for walking around."

"The bird feeder at the hotel was really cool and a lot of wild life on the resort"

"This is a unique place of natural wonders and that makes it difficult to review or compare to other accommodations. This is not your regular hotel with a/c, maid service, restaurant and bar. No, this is a cabin with resident gecko and without a/c. If you eat on site, the meals are cafeteria style, good and hearty. In return, you wake to the sound of Howler Monkeys, toucans and macaws. You walk from your cabin into the forest and you are immersed in the natural world. We love this place. It was our second visit and we will return."

"Really enjoyed our stay here, wish we could have stayed longer! Saw so many tropical frogs too. "

"This home is a perfect retreat when you need rest. The outdoor spaces are perfect to watch birds, hear monkeys, experience the vegetation and enjoy fresh lemons and coconuts! We only left to attend a wedding otherwise we simply enjoyed the home and the rain forest. "

"If I could, I would have stayed longer in this establishment. The pictures and description does not do justice to this amazing place. The rooms are old but in reasonable state, and they are clean. The breakfast is good and with a perfect view over the garden. The garden is the best thing about the place. The property is actually like an island with a small old metal bridge and it is full of mutiple species of Heliconia and also a nice untouched forest for small walk and discovery. We saw both spider and howler monkeys, sloths (with their children) and numerous types of birds. The property has direct access to the river so you can bath there. It is simplely amazing!"
