Rancho Naturalista is a very pleasant place to visit. The rooms are very comfortable, the food is excellent and the staff is very friendly. As well, the scenery is stunning, and on a clear day you get great looks of Turrialba, which is often belching out steam. And with so many bird feeders one could build up a substantial bird list without every walking any of the many trails, although there are many things to see along the trails you will not get at the feeders.
