The bungalows of the flying crocodiles lie distributed in a beautiful tropical garden, which is very well-kept. In the garden we have lots of animals seen, like for instance iguana, monkeys, a coatis, an armadillo and many colorful birds. We were thrilled by Petra and Andrea, who the hotel dedicated and very friendly lead. Anytime they gave us tips and information given. A delicious breakfast, as well as a Andrea Boiled dinner we always really good. In 5 minutes on foot you have the fantastic, lonely bay 'Playa buona vista' reached. Thank you for the lovely time! read more

We had a wonderful holiday in the flying crocodiles, the was longer than first planned. Due to a disease and unreasonable guide on a tour of r. kettner, we after a few days has been canceled, extended we our stay in flying crocodiles. Afterwards We had done everything right. It was wonderful. Petra and Andrea worried around us from the first minutes at many things (doctor, leisure and so on.) And we felt from the first moment like at home. The whole environment was harmonious and we learned many nice people, all from the hotel loved. A special adventure ... was the nazca lines by Jörg. The hotel we can undoubtedly heedlessly further-recommend! read more

The complex is located about 6 kilometers north of samara in a nature reserve, surrounded by mangroves, forest and pastures. Respect on the way there: you must be a approximately 15 meters wide mangrove pass, which depending on the water level, and season problem can. Therefore better a detour of about 8 kilometer on dirt roads in purchase and with dry tyre arrive. I was in a easy going atmosphere received and spent a nice evening in the open lobby of the hotel with the renter, other guests and pilot of the flying crocodiles, surrounded by the different noises and ... noisy local wildlife. Each individually and colourful bungalows are set in a tropical garden with a pool. The breakfast is extensive and delicious. For in between snacks and daily specials offered. Evenings changing, but freshly prepared courses on the menu. Including typical german dishes (for example beef rolls), the i after 4 weeks costaricanischer kitchen very welcome were. Directly at the area the ultra-light flying center flying crocodiles. From here i a nazca lines in an open gyrocopter, beyond the woods, along the coast with fantastic beaches and bays. An experience of a very special kind. I am looking forward to the next visit. read more

The flying crocodiles lodge was definitely one of the highlights of our Costa Rica holiday! On our way to the pacific coast down we wanted actually only 1-2 nights in the flying crocodiles lodge stay. From this then 4 wonderful days. The area is very nicely designed and neat. The management the lodge very easy going and personable. For some time the lodge is under new management by Petra willems and Andrea warrior. The two the whole super, and we were from the very first moment on very welcome and comfortable. The staff was very friendly, too. Petra and Andrea ... we lovingly cared for and even a beach picnic hampers the sunset allows, including tupperschüsseln, cooler and treats. Just so, just as one imagines it. We have also valuable tips to get lonely dream beaches and must-see's and night locations for our onward journey to Costa Rica. Through an attached school it is possible, gyrocopter -to book flights and even the ticket make. Our nazca lines over samara was amazing! We could amongst others crocodiles in the river and in the sea giant turtles and rays watch. An experience, we will never forget! Animals you see directly on the hotel. In particular, several iguana, the us in its ranks pulled. In our next Costa Rica stay we will definitely come back! read more

    From the hotel to the nearest beach buena vista are about 8 minute walk, easily and quickly reached. The beach is clean and very peaceful. Ideal for relaxing. Directly at the beach you can also good pizza. Furthermore one comes by car access to the little bit further away so-called 'white beach' barrigona -an absolute dream beach. To samara are approximately 15 minutes by car. In the evening you can eat and the beach bars there. In the hotel itself you have the possibility to a gyrokopter flight over the island to make. From international airport Liberia there is about 2 hours time of arrival.

    Fantastically located and in the nature integrated area. Typical costa ricanische flora and fauna, where one looks. In the extensive grounds you will find lots of space for relaxing, time the sounds of nature to witmen and the animal inhabitants the hotel to watch. The nearest access to the beach is just a few minutes walk from the hotel away. Since this beach part however, a mangrovenausgang and also crocodiles very comfortable, is the access at certain times of the day only recommendable. When? You pass from the hotelbetreiberinnen. There is also a beach not far off, which i as a secret tip keep. Who your vacation in this hotel spend, will soon the beach and learn how to get there. For the evening entertainment, it is very recommendable a creative proposals from the managers to get. In advance i can already say, that the way to samara will lead. Samara is about 15 kilometers away of the hotel and as well as the complex only with hochhackigen vehicles.

The small complex the eye by different, in the style of Gaudí, built bungalows, the in a very well-kept tropical garden scattered couches. Also various species seems the tropical garden to may. The comfortable lümmelzone around the pool offers a good opportunity to monitor. You preferred in the sea swimming, is about 1 kilometer long, beautiful sandy beach in less than ... 10 minutes easily accessible on foot. The warm welcome by the very motivated german management and the easy going atmosphere wave the unfortunately bad weather more than on-it was still rainy season.

During our Costa Rica vacation we arrived about this hotel verbei and one night spend - unfortunately only one. The bungalows were a dream: 2 massive beds left and right next to the massive bathroom. The food was great: freshly prepared to order (was not on the menu). And the wonderful location... But the best was the kindness and warmheartedness by owner Petra and its crew. We will come gladly again read more

Flying Crocodile is not the run of mill beach resort escape hospitality place; there are bigger names and fancier accommodation. It is the People that associated with the place that make it special! Then, with the added "flying" experience, you have to do it yourself to experience the euphoria aspect of "gyro" airplane adventure. Our Writing group has over 2 people experience "Flying Crocodile"; with 20 different neurotic brains and different imagination. Our conclusion are uniformly "beyond the widest expectation". Keep up the good work! Andy read more

Small supermarket about 500 meters away. location beautiful in the nature with a lot of animals (Monkeys, raccoons, iguanas, birds and so on). bicycles can be rented.

Our goal was ten years ago Costa Rica-the epitome of diversity and wealth of stunning natural beauty. Then we met also, among other things, the holiday location flying crocodile, located right by the ocean, know, at the moment by the young German family Scheidt was built. Since we spent our vacation there and Klaus has emerged to see an almost family relationship family. A circular flight with the pilots trained Guido on forests, picturesque bathing beaches always green was a special highlight. We have always felt very comfortable. read more
