Everything about our stay exceeded our expectations. The accommodations were super luxurious for the cost, and our two bedroom/two bathroom, private patio and pool was phenomenal. Staff was beyond just friendly - engaging, curious, fun. The food was excellent, and having rain forest trails and hot springs on the property that were never crowded was awesome. Everything start to finish was outstanding - shout outs to Brayan, Pamela, Jonathan, Dennis, Karen, Fabian, and Anthony in particular - our family really appreciated the hospitality and would recommend to anyone looking for a rainforest adventure.

The rooms are beautiful, spacious, and in such a unique location. Each bungalow really transports you to a secluded little world in the jungle. The forest on the property was breath taking. A wonderful experience. The staff was welcoming, happy to help with all of our questions, and easily set up off-site activities (ziplining, rafting) and transportation to La Fortuna for dinner/shopping.

Beautiful property in a breathtaking rainforest — truly amazing. If you can splurge on a room with a pool, it makes a huge difference! We were lucky to receive it as an upgrade at check-in, and it was incredible. We loved staying at the property so much that we ended up modifying our itinerary and canceling a few excursions just to soak in the beauty of the jungle. We stayed for three nights and wished we had a couple more.

We were two moms with two kids (11 and 16) and this hotel checked all the boxes for us. Adventure (horseback riding, nature walks, water slides), nature (everywhere) and relaxation (hot springs, hammock, nice dining). Everyone on staff was super nice and welcoming and so were the other guests. It's a little remote but it made us feel like we were sometimes staying by ourselves in the rainforest. Our favorite place when we visited CR!

This was the perfect spot for our family’s first time to La Fortuna and Costa Rica. If you don’t mind the drive into town for activities, which we didn’t at all, this place is quiet and beautiful! We loved sitting at both open-air restaurants and having a drink while our kids swam in the hot springs. The hiking trail and river slide/swimming were beautiful. We saw lots of birds and heard all the cicadas and howler monkeys in the evenings. We would definitely stay again!

We stayed in the two bedroom villa with a private plunge pool that was absolutely beautiful and amazing! We were in the middle of the rainforest, the hotel also provided complementary tours of the property where we were able to see so many animals including different species of frogs different trees and sloths! The room had a mini fridge and espresso machine… they did not have a microwave but the local restaurant on site was able to heat up food for my daughter as she is very picky… they also provided multiple tours for an additional fee with transportation included…. Our room was amazing, we also had an outdoor shower that was stunning! The property beautiful! The road leading to the hotel was very Steve and windy but nothing you can’t handle as long as you’re paying attention.

This was my wife and I second trip to the La Fortuna area. Chachagua is a quaint town a little south and the resort was way off the beaten path in the middle of the rainforest. This was the first time for my mom and her best friend. Just off foot surgery and still a little sore/ swollen. The resort staff went overboard to accommodate her with a shower seat. Use of their wheelchair so she could get around when tired and just amazing every day. The food was top notch, free breakfast was awesome. My family would highly recommended a visit. If you have a chance to visit say hi to Anthony, Patricia, Gettchen with two t’s, Sofia, Lorenzo, Kevin, Pamela, Karen, Jonathan, Kristal, Maicol ( hope you catch some big fish) and Dennis. The ownership should be proud of every one of you. Thank you The Lyle family
