“Salamandra is the most beautiful place to say with very unique artwork all over. José is a very kind host and a fantastic cook and made a delicious breakfast for my family and I. We had two rooms with beautiful artwork in both. It is a very easy drive from SJO Airport and was a perfect overnight stop for us on the way to Tortuguero. I wish we had more time to stay and look around at all the wildlife and artwork. Really a very beautiful place.”
“It was an absolute 10/10 experience. The location is amazing, there's a river just a 100 meters away in the forest where you can take a dip. The garden is full of beautiful plants, fruits (which we could take) and birds... a lot of birds think hummingbirds, tucans, and many other colourful birds. Jorge was always extremely helpful, he picked us up and dropped us off at the bus station of Guapiles, and he offered to takes us to town to do the groceries. He also took us to a nice waterfall for a very reasonible price where he stopped many times to show us interesting things and told us a lot about Costa Rica.
The room and the kitchen only have basic equipment but they had all the essentials we needed.”
“It's not just accommodation, it's a Costa Rica experience! You shouldn't miss out on trying the delicious dinner that José and his wife prepare. The garden is a paradise for plants, animals and art. In the immediate vicinity you can visit some beautiful trails to waterfalls. Jose can also give good tips for other activities. You have to be aware that this is authentic accommodation in a typical Costa Rican town. So every now and then you will hear a rooster crowing at night. Since the place is easy to get to from the airport, it is also recommended for the first or last nights before arrival or departure.”
