    The property was amazing, we were surrounded by birds and it felt like we were in the middle of the forest but with all the luxuries of the modern world. There is a pond were we swam and kayaked in during our stay. We saw multiple toucans in the tree next to the restaurant. Our son did not want to leave when we had to leave to go to our new location. I wish we had more days to spend here!

    The place is beautiful and full of art everywhere. It has a little lake where you can enjoy seeing birds and diferent animals or kayaking. The attention was amazing and the breakfast was delicious. The place is so peaceful and full of nature. We will definitely come back.

    ABSOLUTELYNOTHING. Place had a lot of charm. Hosts were great. Was a great beginning to our wonderful Costa Rica experience.

    Loved the location and the grounds. The grounds were beautiful and nicely kept. We loved waking up to the jungle noise, birds, etc. The breakfast was good and the eating area was so beautiful! The whole area was beautiful! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Great location. Check out Moyas Resturant. Its super close with live entertainment. This place is a great value! My wife and I highly recommend it!

    It wasn't clear how the breakfast worked. The breakfast was good but we would have preferred to choose since we only stayed 2 nights.

    Peaceful oasis and quiet - just natural sounds of birds and monkeys in the distance. We heard a cow too. Good coffee in the am. The hot water worked fine - you just need to turn it on full immediately to activate the heat on demand. Bonus tip: ask Rob to book you the Crazy Allan Night Walk - we saw so many creatures and it was worth it. See pic example from the walk. Other pics are from the property and not the captions assigned.

    This place was so beautiful. The property is amazing, so you will have the most amazing views while you have your breakfast. Our room was very cute and clean. We did not realize that there would be a little kitchen in the suite, so that was a great surprise. It was super well equipped. We honestly wished we could have stayed longer. The breakfast was delicious and the hosts were so king. The restaurant has a beautiful view of the small lake on the property. There are also many bird feeders, so you get to watch the hummingbirds while you eat. There is a beautiful gallery as well with lots to see!

    Some people complain about no a/c, but this location in Costa Rica does not require it. There were nights we left the slider open and had the fan on, and we were actually chilly. Was quite nice.

    Lucky Bug is a magical place to stay. It was clean, tastefully decorated and sits in a quiet location. The breakfast was amazing every day. Thank you, Monica and Rob.

    Nothing! Just note that you should consider having a car to get there cause it’s not in the city/town center:)

    We loved everything about this accommodation! The rooms are spacious and beautifully furnished, the property has a stunning garden with a lake at which you can observe a wide variety of birds. Monika and Rob are such kind people who try everything to make their guests feel comfortable. Would definitely come back again!

    Our rooms were on an upper level and there's not any help to get up the steep stairs. So if you can't handle that, ask for a room on the lowest level. It's a very long, slow drive to get there. I would have preferred some choice in breakfast. But, at least it was not the local fare we got everywhere else.

    The surroundings are beautiful and lush. So many birds everywhere. The shop with local craft items is very good.

    We felt wonderful from the first moment we entered the garden. We loved the whole place and every single detail. The room was beautiful and comfortable, we really liked the handmade soap wrapped in a green leaf. They were very kind with us and we were delighted to share various moments of conversation. Breakfast was delicious and with a spectacular view. Very grateful!

    There is some wear and tear in the bathroom, but it didn't spoil our fun there!

    It was a real treat eating breakfast with hummingbirds darting about in front of us! Plus, the breakfast was delicious. The landscaping and detail to decor makes this place unique. Also, after a rain, a ton of toads and frogs came out at night. You don't need an expensive night tour. Just walk around the property and see them all. My daughter loved that.
