TREE HOUSE
In lush surroundings, six beautiful atypical and different houses. Three houses are air-conditioned, including the brand new Crystal House construction. In the middle of the lounge, open on nature, you will find a barbecue area, a heated Jacuzzi tub and a mini golf. The Tree House is the emblematic home of the site with its tree in the middle of the bathroom, open on the outside. It has two bedrooms (and can accommodate up to five people), and a wooden and cable walkway can access the upper room. Outside, a barbecue and a bath heated bath with a tube system, chairs for the beach, and a solar sign for the shower. Further afield, Beach House is ideal for a family, with the beach at 50 meters, a bathroom in tadelakt, a spiral wood staircase, an extra bed that lifts, fans (no air conditioning) and a terrace with hammock. The Beach Suite, which accommodates up to six people, is quite delirious: Edsart, the owner, both artist and lover of nature, has dropped into the bathroom, which includes a whirlpool, three showers and psychedelic toilets under a yellow sphere. In addition, it offers outside spaces and a private entrance with parking. Finally, Garden House, the most economical option, is also the smallest of the lot. it is suitable for 4 adults or a couple with two children (rooms on the floor). In front of the property, the 300-metre long El Almendro beach is reserved for guests. We hear the backwash from the trail… There is a wave on the right, the opportunity of a special surf for the amateurs. In order to protect their environment, the owners of the establishment set up a small park of 2000 m ² where more than lizards live; it is a small breeding centre (The Green Iguana Fundation) to rehabilitate the species, threatened by its strong marketing in Costa Rica. Free visit for customers but paid for outside persons (entry: US $ 15). A level of activity, a rendez with Pamela, a lovely Argentine, for Tae courses on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Pilates on Mondays and Wednesdays, and yoga on Mondays and Fridays; Bio-dance workshops also take place from time to time and on Sundays a play is played.

The two bathrooms both offer running water showers and toilets which was a really nice luxury after a full day covered in sand from the beach!
The entire lodge is a short walking distance to the ocean front which was really pleasant on the hot sunny days.
Edsart and Pam are the perfect hosts and we highly recommend their lodging for your next Costa Rican jungle experience!
I had made the reservation well in advance and planned to spilt our 4 days between the Tree House and the School Bus.
Unfortunately my wife broke two toes about 4 weeks before our arrival. YIKES!!!
After checking in with Sonja she showed us around the Tree House when with careful effort my wife traversed the hanging stairs to the upper bedroom and bathroom.
After learning of her situation she was fairly certain the School Bus was available for our entire stay. While we were both grateful for the thoughtfulness my wife had been anxiously awaiting staying in a Tree House. So we spent one night to cross that off her bucket list.
The Tree House was fantastic!
It’s a magical feeling relaxing surrounded by rain forest. The open air bathroom where the sinks and toilet are maybe bother some for some but honestly all you can see is jungle.
We did the hot tub and had a couples massage in the living room of the Tree House.
Spectacular
The next four days, we added a day, we spent in the School Bus. I thought it was going to be a huge downgrade, but I was wrong.
Sure sleeping in a TreeHouse is bad a** !!!, but the School Bus pulled its weight. For one thing the entire thing, besides the bathroom could be air conditioned. There is a huge covered deck around the bus with a long dining table and another sitting area.
Both the Tree House and the School Bus have kitchens with refrigerator, cooktops, coffee maker…. we usually made breakfast and enjoyed it outside listening to the ocean and birds. You can see( and hear) Macaws flying, toucans, and we would have a daily visit from hummingbirds.
The grounds are incredible and on Sonja’s tour tour she will point out various many different plants flowers and trees. The beach is no more than a couple minutes away. All off the staff are great. They take care off everyone including the grounds and preparing the hot tubs all with being hardly noticeable.
Being the rainy season it really didn’t matter, sure it rains but mainly after 3pm. Sometimes an hour or two, sometimes all night. I enjoyed not having as many people around. It’s easier to take your time and enjoy where you are. Nothing is to far away on the Caribbean side and Punta Uva is close enough while still feeling secluded.
Now about Sonja the hostess/caretaker of the property.
She takes care of absolutely anything and everything. My wife wanted a pedicure and she set it up in Puerto Viejo. She makes sure the staff gets the hot tub ready. Everyday she saw us would ask if we wanted fresh bananas.
Trust me , you want the fresh bananas. YUM
If you need anything just ask Sonja.
You and the property are lucky to have her.
