Highly recommended, outstanding service.

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!!!

Location, rooms and breakfast were great! The staff could have been much clearer and more transparent about the costs of excursions booked through the hotel. There was a price sheet at the front desk listing individual activity prices, and the Curi-Cancha Reserve was listed at $26 per person. We understood this to be the cost of the activity, which seemed reasonable. However, when we checked out, we discovered that the $26 was only the park entrance fee and did not include the guided tour. The actual charges were $106 per adult and $75 per child under 12, including the entrance fee. This was a significant difference from what we had understood the cost to be, and these charges were never clearly communicated to us upfront. For a group of seven, I would also have expected a more reasonable group rate rather than such a high per-person charge. The issue isn’t necessarily the cost of the tour itself, but the lack of clear communication about the total price before the activity was booked. Guests should be informed of the full cost, including guide fees and entrance fees, so they can make an informed decision before committing. Better transparency around excursion pricing would have made a big difference to our experience. Also, please don’t use toxic tide dryer sheets or detergent, the bedding scent was way too strong.

Excelente ubicación y las instalaciones muy bien, el servicio no es el mejor y el costo de alimentación me pareció un poco alto para la zona

The staff here is absolutely fantastic! Even though our trip started a bit bumpy, they totally turned it around and made us feel so welcome and at home. Their hospitality was beyond amazing, and they were super accommodating to everything we needed. We're definitely coming back when we're in the La Fortuna area! They even helped us plan activities and surprised my sister for her birthday, which was so sweet! Big shout-out to Alejandro, Jimmy, Carlos, and Victor! Pura Vida !
