We enjoyed our stay at the Tilajari hotel! The property is nice, we saw beautiful birds, iguanas and howler monkeys all onsite! We also did horseback riding - Bryan was our guide with the horses and he was really great, very friendly and kind. We drove into La Fortuna / Arenal each of the three days to do activities and it was a bit of a drive - about 40-50 minutes to the different activities (waterfall, hanging bridges, volcano park), so I would stay closer next time or recommend others to do so if they don’t want a far drive. We did have a few hiccups at the property. The wifi in our room only worked if you stood directly next to the window. We called staff about it three times, as we had to work while we were there but they were unable to help/fix it. Also - at breakfast I found a piece of metal in my eggs (they said likely from a cleaning brush), the staff did apologize for this.

Great Place

It’s a great place to stay. The only issue my wife and I had were the pillows were overstuffed and uncomfortable to sleep on. Otherwise the property, location, food etc. were all excellent. We enjoyed our stay and when visiting the Arenal/La Fortuna area of Costa Rica we would stay there again.

My husband and I stayed at Tilajari Hotel Resort & Conference Center for one night to celebrate his birthday, and overall, we had a pleasant experience. The property is beautiful, with a kind of vintage charm surrounded by lush greenery that made our stay feel serene and relaxing. One of the highlights was the jacuzzi, which was incredibly soothing after a long day. Unfortunately, we didn’t get a chance to use the pool or tennis courts due to heavy rain, but we were prepared for that since it’s just the season. Despite the weather, the grounds remained stunning. The staff at the front desk were very friendly and accommodating. A special thanks to Gustavo, who made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The restaurant staff were also kind, although the food wasn’t the highlight of our stay. That said, I do have to caution future guests—this hotel does not offer room service. I had planned a special surprise for my husband with a bottle of wine and cake in our room after enjoying the jacuzzi, but the staff couldn’t accommodate my request. If you’re considering Tilajari for a special occasion and need room service, you might want to rethink your plans.
