"Absolutely loved our stay. Staff was amazing and attentive. The grounds are open to people staying after the park closes so it was nice to explore. They offer animal interaction feeding for a reasonable price per the room regardless of number of people, which was great! Had free fishing on grounds which kids loved. Dinning was great. Enjoyed our stay. "

"I loved that they feed bananas and fruit to the birds daily. The grounds were amazing to see wildlife, humming birds, butterflies, bats, frogs and caiman. The rooms come with your own patio, this was a nice touch as were the hammocks. We can't wait stay here the next time we visit Sarapiqui Costa Rica. "

"During our first trip to Costa Rica, we stayed at the stunning Hotel Mango Valley. Nestled in lush surroundings, the hotel offered not only breathtaking views but also invaluable local insights. The staff recommended incredible nearby attractions, including waterfalls, serene hot springs, and an engaging coffee tour, which were all standout experiences. While the hotel mostly impressed us, there were a few minor issues. The shower's water temperature fluctuated from very hot to cold, and...

"In the heart of national forest/ research Centre. Brilliant experience. "

"The birding was amazing! It was nice to be able to take the canoes out in the pond whenever we wanted. The porch on the back of the rooms with hammocks was really nice."

"Absolutely stunning property in the middle of the forest! This location is a must. You are surrounded by nature and all you hear day and night is the rushing of the river. Every single staff member there was very friendly and helpful. Cabins are spacious and include a kitchenette in them. Day activities were easy to schedule. Ziplining was fantastic here, highly recommended!"

"This is our second time at Chetica. Each room has a unique, themed design. We have stayed in Seville and this time in “Big Bear” which reminds you of a mountain cabin. The rooms have big bathrooms and a kitchenette with a coffeemaker and coffee provided. The breakfast is delicious. You are in the hills with fresh air and beautiful gardens. It is very convenient if you are driving to the Caribbean side and don’t want to drive that road at night. The only small problem that we have run into is...

"If you want to see birds and animals, this is the place to be. If you can get cabin #10, you have a great bird tree view."

"This is a beautiful ecolodge and very well managed by Pedro and his staff. Pedro goes out of his way to make your stay comfortable. Their food options are very creative and excellent especially since we were vegetarians. The place is remote and provides a true jungle experience while still having the basic amenities to make your stay enjoyable and comfortable. They have well organized guided walks both at night and during the day, several of them covered within the reservation. "

"Great hotel. Lovely staff, private and quiet. "

"sleeping to forest noise was incredible, it was a comfortable stay"

"We felt in love with this place. Jorge the son of the house is very helpful and he likes to share with his guests, he is an excellent English speaker. We enjoyed the pool (natural spring water) and the view. The breakfast is very traditional and good quality. We thanks to whole family for this experience. We also had the occasion to have diner at the restaurant runned by the daughter of the family. The meat is home smoked. "

"Mario was a great bird guide, but the tour was only on the property. It would be nice to have night tours and birding trips off the property. The internet service could have been better. The food was good, and the staff was helpful."

"Great place to stay with lots of things to do. Very friendly and accommodating staff"

"Wonderful authentic lodge, unfortunately we heard it will close."

"Great hotel. German college interns always available and very helpful. Only drawback, nobody, including cab drivers, could find this place. We stayed 2 nights and BOTH nights we journeyed out only to find that taxi drivers had no idea where this place was and that was AFTER showing them the address card that the hotel had given us. Very Weird."

"Everything nice here, lake makes this property unique."

"We had a wonderful stay for two nights. Our hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful with everything relating to our plans for experiencing Costa Rica. Thanks for everything!"
