The room was so very spacious, air-conditioning was working great. The outdoor kitchen is a gem. The pool really lovely. We didn't see or hear the owners which for us was fine, but you have their numbers for information etc. The Macaws pay a visit in the trees near the hotel. Loved our last few days here.

Piece of paradise - full of greenery, wild animals around, beautiful sunset ocean view across the forest. Very nice welcoming hosts, great service, clean and tidy. Very clean swimming pool surrounded by abundant vegetation. Best part was when we saw a bunch of white-headed monkeys in the morning coming to say "hi" and pick some bananas from the restaurant :) Our hosts recommended a wonderful nearby restaurant with delicately elaborated fusion cuisine dishes!

The room was extremely clean & Modern with all the facilities required to make breakfast & coffee. Large & comfy bed, great sized shower and bathroom. The pool area was incredible, you have a large pool and smaller hot tub style pool for chilling, both were amazing. Loads of sun beds and sofa/chill areas. Loads of beautiful plants and nature on the ground of the property. This was our favourite place to stay in Costa Rica!!

Awesome place to stay ! Felling lost and safe in the same time in the middle of the forest it’s a great experience ! The cabin was really clean, and very well isolated with mosquito nest so you can enjoy the night with the windows open ! The surroundings are very well maintained, the birds love the place also, I spend 3 hours on the deck just to enjoy the fauna show. Great breakfast included !! Highly recommend !!

There's an uplifted elegant energy throughout the grounds, from the security guard to the cleaning staff. Our two story unit smelled like rich wood. The layout was excellent design for safety, privacy, and super comfortable beds, chairs. AC was great in each bedroom, fans, curtains all clean and in great condition. The bathrooms lighting, hot water and linen quality were exceptional. It is worth mentioning that there we few mosquitos for Ojochal. The space is ample and well equipped for cooking or working remotely, even if there were several occupants. I could stay here long term. My 14 year relaxed. He enjoyed the pool, and commented on how intelligent the whole plaza was with a pharmacy, spa services, bar, store and restaurant all weaved together with hotel. We cannot say enough about the restaurant and we booked another night at end of trip because my son has to come back for more. Citrus is a gem. Families can relax and enjoy pool day, see many bird and plant species.
