Perfect for families, groups or couples who enjoy luxury and independence while travelling. Enjoy the space and privacy of these fully-furnished, self-standing mansions — travellers can cook, lounge and explore at their leisure. Note that in Bali, a resort will also be called a villa.
The owner, Jean Pierre, has had a great vision for Hacienda La Isla since he bought the property 18 years ago - a sustainable retreat that is ecologically and culturally sound. Talking with him and walking the 3.5 km nature trail we’re both unexpected treats.
We picked Gran Gavilan as a stop over on our way from Arenal to the Caribbean. For that it was absolutely the right place. It is an assembly of cabins that are located in a beautiful garden directly at the river. There are a few walking paths in the jungle and you can watch numerous birds in the garden. The cabins are basic but have everything you need, incl. mosquito net. Just do not expect luxury. Dinner and breakfast were good. The staff is super friendly and helpful.
in the middle of the forest and only a few steps away from the national park and still close to the village La Virgen
nice setup of the restaurant and the bar, room had enough space and a nice place outside; breakfast, dinner and drinks were very good
personnel was very friendly and helpful
Amazing retreat away from the rest of the word. A hidden gem in the corner of a national park. You get to experience being surrounded by nature and total escape
