Positive: The staff were extremely friendly! Always helpful and looking for solutions. Furthermore the garden was really beautiful with a lovely frog pond and beautiful trees with wildlife.
Negative: The facilities were quite faded and require some investments. Mostly the rooms could use a face-lift and the airco units are very old. Furthermore we found the automatic lock to be a pain.. just not suitable for a hotel with that delay and a second lock that you should NOT use.
Summary: Beautiful garden but a little faded

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Ara Ambigua handles a lot of coaches pausing for a day or two en route to other parts of CR, so lots of tourists around even in low/shoulder season. However, quite a lot of Costa Ricans there as well, which speaks well. After 10 days on the road, staying in EcoLodges of varying quality, I expected more of the same but was delighted by the high standard of Ara Ambigua. They clearly prioritise keeping the jungle at bay, and the staff were well-trained and helpful. I came back late one night to find the front gates locked, and managed to sneak in by another route. The night watchman and his large dog almost gave me a heart attack as they came on me out of the dark; but were very kind once they knew I was a guest, and helped me through the dark to my room! Front desk and other staff were also very helpful and kind. Swimming pools clean, well-maintained, respecable wine list (they store their wines in a climate-controlled room). Room was clean, a good size, well air-conditioned and with a good shower.
Negative: Very little - but be aware many of the rooms are on the hill behind the main lodge, so you may well be walking up and down.
Summary: A very pleasant surprise
