Cabañita Las Heliconias. WiFi - A / C

Showed pics of the property to guest of other facilities whom we met. To a person, all we got were wows. What a great host also. Always helpful, friendly smile and willing to share his local knowledge. Thanks Marcos for a wonderful stay.

We arrived two hours after checkin after calling to let them know we would be late. It was pouring rain. The person at the main building didn’t speak English, so we waited outside for 20 minutes upon arrival while they tried to get a cabin ready for us. In the cabin, one bed was infested with hundreds of bed bugs, there were 2 mousetraps in one of the cabinets, a roach scurried under the sink cabinet when I opened the cabinet door. It was raining so hard we couldn’t hear each other speak. We ended our stay within an hour finding a different hotel since there wasn’t an English speaking person who could help us. Then when we spoke to the property manager on the phone he went to check the room, the owner sent a message with full view photos of each room saying there were no bed bugs. The photos taken at the distance they were would not have shown bed bugs. We haven’t received a refund and it’s up to the owner whether they want to approve a refund. My daughter now has a half dozen bites on her thighs. This was a terrible experience from beginning to end.

We stayed for 2 nights and really enjoyed the cabin and the location. Make sure you bring bug spray when sitting on the balcony/terrace.The little pond makes it really nice and quite some wildlife directly on the property.

This was a great place to stay for the price. Think glamping. It was clean, decently stocked kitchen wise, and the little porch with hammock chair was amazing. The vegetation around was lush and the pond with running water. There is some road noise and it's a tin roof so it can be loud with rain but overall a great stay. Nice to be out of the town centre.

We loved the cabin and the location of the cabin! Communicationwas

After staying in the property the photos make sense, but we thought we’d be in one of the units directly on the water and we weren’t. This wouldn’t have been a problem but we were right next to the road (which is quite busy) so we got woken up by motorcycles late at night and very early in the morning. Like 4am early. Cabins traditionally don’t have much insulation so we heard everything loud and clear. The inside was cool. I liked the flooring and the heat pump worked great. It was quaint but we slept like garbage. Unfortunately we would not rent here again in hopes of finding more peace and quiet.

our little cabin was spotless (I've never seen such a shiny floor) and in an area that was close to everything we wanted to do

We loved our stay in this cabanita. We are a family of 5. The cabin was cosy for our family. The Cabin has windows all around the main room, it is really beautiful to wake up and be surrounded by green tropical plants. There was enough room for us. We were picked up by our tour guides, at the cabin and did lots of exploring. We enjoyed our stay, very much, it was close to La Fortuna town, and just far enough away that it felt very relaxing. The pond, running water and greenery everywhere, made it feel like we were in the middle of the rain forest. The teenagers, enjoyed the Dog, ducks and night watching of frogs. I would recommend this cabin for people would like being in nature.

Marcos was very quick to reply on WhatsApp and the VRBO website. Unfortunately he never mentioned to us that the actual name of the place had changed to CABANITAS DEL LAGOS! So we were unable to find the place until we stopped and some locals helped us. Unfortunately our unit was right on a busy road which we looked at from our kitchen- for future visitors maybe request a cabin in back on the pond? Our children enjoyed the ducks. Our sliding door didn’t lock when we arrived but Marcos was very quick to fix this so that my husband could manage the lock. The kitchen was fairly equipped but the coffee maker pot had been replaced with a tinpot and it burnt my husbands hand every time he poured coffee. The hot water unfortunately didn’t work when we arrived but Marcos was quick to fix. The location is driving distance to town and convenient. Overall not what we expected for the price but still a very nice stay and a nice family.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. The manager and team were very helpful with providing tour options. The view was pretty with ponds and resident ducks. It is a little further from town and thus a car is needed.

Marco & Roy helped us with great excursion and restaurant recommendations! The ambiance was awesome!

Our stay was perfect for us! We chose this place because of its location to the downtown area and other locations. We wanted something close to downtown but also private enough to relax and enjoy the tropical climate. We also chose this place for the amenities (kitchen, living space etc.). By car, the downtown area is about a five minute drive straight down the road. This will take you to many restaurants, shops and more! Parking is not an issue at this location. In the late afternoon/ evening is it the perfect spot to sit outside and listen to the birds, the waterfall stream and watch the ducks of course! Our only precaution is that it is located next to a fairly busy road making for some light traffic noises throughout the day. The host is always available through WhatsApp and lives on the property. He is eager to offer suggestions for places to eat or see. He is great! Overall, we would recommend this place to our family and friends, even those with littles. We were sad to leave, but eager for our next adventure. Pura Vida!
