This place is beautiful! Joel(manager) is a great man and extremely helpful. The road in is challenging must have 4x4.

I loved how involved and a part of nature I felt here! The view was beautiful and seeing all the creatures daily was amazing! If you are a light sleeper, I would suggest earplugs. The road does seem like a game trail once you get closer to the home so that are not joking when they say you'll need a 4x4 (also, make sure you have a full sized spare). The team at the home were friendly and communicative whenever I reached out. The closest supermarket is about a 15 minute drive but once you're at the home you probably won't want to trek out to it. There are also a few other hotels nearby that have a bar/restaurant.

My soulmate and I recently had our second "honeymoon" visit to Casa Contiki. The first time we stayed here was 2 1/2 years ago and this place is still absolutely MAGIC!!! If you are willing to drive the road out here.... it's totally worth the adventure. Make sure you have a good 4 wheel drive vehicle! The accommodations are beautiful and very clean. The caretaker, Joel, has taken HUGE care of us on both visits. Providing night walking tours, info about the area and basically just jumping in any time we asked a question or needed any type of help. The waterfall, wildlife, beaches and overall ambiance are all fantastic. This is in my top 3 favorite place I have ever visited in my life.
