"Very beautiful, private scenery. Had the beach to ourselves many times. Very spacious rooms and outdoor kitchen. Staff super helpful and friendly. Breakfast was delicious. There were a lot of ants on counters and in shower and it would have been great to have shampoo, conditioner, and soap for the dishes. Dinner options are expensive and not very good. Pool was great. The surroundings are the best part about this property, but it's a bit of a drive. Well worth it."

"Stunning location and clean property directly on the beach with nice extras in the pool and gaming area. Property is out of date and is about 20 min down a dirt road with very poor WiFi and nothing else around. If you’re looking for a resort this isn’t it, but if you are looking for a clean place where you’ll have the beautiful beach to yourself, it’s a good choice."

"We LOVED Badu Lodge. The perfect peaceful, beautiful, romantic nature getaway. Miguel went above and beyond for us, he saw us cleaning out our rental car we needed to return and helped out which was the sweetest thing. The breakfast was delicious and we loved our personal jacuzzi. The ONE concern is that Miguel made a bonfire for us, again super kind and above and beyond! But he was putting large plastic soda bottles into the fire- I'm not sure if he just isn't aware of the health hazards of...

"We were warmly welcomed to this pretty hotel set on a hill lush with trees and flowering plants. The pool is inviting and breakfast was delicious. We enjoyed a beautiful drive to Atenes along a good road (Route 3 through San Mateo) from the west, and it was an easy shot to SJO airport the next day. We had a delicious traditional Costa Rican dinner at El Fogon Campesino. Only caveat might be for someone who craves total silence. As in many places in Costa Rica, bird and animal sounds...
