Hotel Suerre

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente lugar, estadía, servicio, instalaciones y comida!"

El Lugar Hotel & Nature Reserve Costa Rica

10/10 Excellent

"The entire El Lugar team were incredible individuals to spend a week with. The grounds are beautifully maintained, the restaurant serves amazing dishes, the houses are romantic and I have to mention the team again. Every one of the employees here are genuinely friendly and eager to assist with any need you have."

Ara Ambigua Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Property is surrounded by gardens who look pretty much as forest, you can walk by trails, or you can have access to real forest outside, but at the same time great location, 600 m from main road, little town and 8 minute driving to main Town Puerto Viejo. I have to start with EV Charger, great thing for the area. Rooms are little updated but clean, and fair size, they have couches and a balcony that really upgrade the room, cold AC, Tv, good internet, you will rest in that bed. Restaurant inside is a nice touch, breakfast is very good, typical, buffet and plenty of options, the restaurant have meals that they are not exceptional, but not bad. Sarapiquí is rainy, a lot of humidity, nevertheless the pool area is nice, clear water, fair medium size, I believe best amenitie of the hotel. But you have to commend THE STAFF, allof them are exceptional, they will work around any issue, so you feel safe and with typical Pura Vida Costa Rican Hospitality."

La Laguna del Lagarto Eco-Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great place if you are looking to do bird watching and other nature related activities. The bird feeders not only attract an incredible amount of birds but also some other mammals such as the Agouti and the Coati. The area is known for sightings of the King Vulture, all types of toucans, tanagers, parrots, etc. Including a Cayman that lives in the lagoon. They also have trails. Food was good, specially breakfast."

Maquenque Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"This is a barely discovered gem, a rare destination that will leave you with lifelong memories. We stayed here 9 years ago, and returned this summer. The rainforest location is unique. We stayed in a treehouse, with frequent visits from spider monkeys and seemingly endless species of birds. We partook for a second time the riverboat tour through the local rainforest, up through the Nicaragua border. We saw spectacular macaws, toucans, and numerous other bird species. We encountered crocodiles, circling vultures over cow pastures, a green river snake swimming at the town boat dock. We saw other monkey species hanging out in the trees, iguanas… But perhaps most memorable to us was the genuineness of the Eco Lodge staff. Many are local, and share with us their pride in their community. Their true warmth allows us to experience the rainforest, not as a visiting tourist, but as a proud local. The guides are wonderful! They are smart, engaging and passionate. Even on our return boat ride across the river to the parking area, the staff member took a slight detour to point out colorful macaws eating fruit in a tree on the riverbank. We came with our family, there were tourists of all ages, from young children to older retirees. Our binoculars and telephoto lenses got quite the workout! While we are not professional birdwatchers, the diversity was remarkable. And, we found fellow tourists to be grounded, appreciative of life and the opportunity. Thank you staff!!!"
