The room was exactly as depicted on the website. Breakfasts were great, and we saw some beautiful birds right on the property (motmot and parrot). We were given misinformation about a tour and were told that the park entrance fee was included but it was not. Overall, we would stay at this property again.

The staff (ie: Glenn) were great and friendly. I was a bit surprised by the location when we first arrived as it's in a bit of a residential sort of neighborhood. However, it was not a problem and we were just a short drive into the downtown area for shopping and dining. The breakfast that is included was very nice. There is an elevated deck with comfortable seating offering great views to the west. You can actually see the Pacific if it's not too hazy.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Calathea. The staff were very helpful and amazing. We stayed in the clean bird room, the bathroom was big and we had a nice balcony to ourselves. The only reason why I am giving a 5-star overall is because the breakfast was a bit bland. If the question is if I would stay at this property again, I definitely will!

In the clouds

1.5 Km from center of village. But you have the option to use the walkway along main road to walk up to center. Very quiet location. Room great and the staff very helpful if asked. For early birds, you can order sandwiches and fruit for take away.

No hot water in the morning

The stay was fine but there were a lot of bugs since they left the window in the bathroom open. The hot water supply is unreliable. It tends to go out in the morning. So it is hard to know if you can take a shower in the morning or not. During our last day, the ceiling starts to leak. Wish the TV was bigger and better quality as it is impossible to cast from our smart devices onto the TV, and the internet web browser interface from the TV is very hard to use. During the rainy season, this is a major issue as there is not much to do when it is pouring rain outside. The utensils in the kitchen are also very old and need an upgrade. The rubber soup spoon is sticky (due to worn out plastic) and all the teflon pots are badly scratched up. The staff were really nice and the chef cooked a really delicious breakfast.
