Rio Celeste Jungle Glamping

Rio Celeste Jungle Glamping

10/10 Excellent
"What an awesome place! We were looking for a jungle setting off the beaten path. We were only there one night before heading to the beach and it was awesome! The dome was super cool (and provided some entertaining acoustics that sparked some fun) and the view was amazing. A very cool fog rolled in followed by a good rain storm which emphasized the jungle feel! Extremely friendly hosts and just a fun overall experience. 10/10"

Malekus Mountain Lodge

Malekus Mountain Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely magical. Pictures do not do Malekus Mountain Lodge justice - it's truly so special and lovely, a work of art not just a place to stay. Roger and Rosey were kind, attentive hosts. The location was beautiful. We had wonderful breakfasts on site and a fantastic dinner just 600 meters away. With only 7 rooms and an intimate feel, this would be a perfect place for a family reunion, small destination wedding, or friends trip. Do know going in that the rooms are small and intimate, and there is no air-conditioning. However, the climate was temperate and the rooms and lodge are well-suited and comfortable. We loved everything about our stay - except for that we didn't get to stay longer! Already hoping to come again!!"

"We loved our stay at this property, we were shown around by Angie who seemed to be the animal whisperer. Wherever we went we saw all sorts of animals, monkeys, sloths, toucans, humming birds and so many more. It’s a beautiful paradise and we loved every minute we had here. We were sad to have to move on when we did. Thankyou so much for looking after us so well."

Destino Hotel & Hot Spring

10/10 Excellent
"We had a fantastic time! Orlando (the owner), his family, and all of the staff were so kind and welcoming! We really enjoyed the thermal longevity circuit, plus we went tubing down the river which was a blast too! On day 2 we did the cultural coffee, chocolate, tortilla demonstration and we also went on a short hike through the trail where Orlando helped us spot a sloth! We had the pizza at the resort the first night, so then we wanted to try out some authentic Costa Rican and he was able to give us a fantastic recommendation for dinner, plus even spoke with the owner of the restaurant to let him know we were headed his way! Overall, all amazing experience, I could go on forever about how much we enjoyed ourselves, highly highly recommend!"

10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our stay! Jorge made sure we had a pleasant stay and the staff was really nice. The unit we had was basic but clean, of a good size and well equipped. The breakfast was excellent (you can choose from 3 options) and we also had dinner there twice (there is nothing around), which was also good and well priced. We enjoyed the walking trails. It was a very relaxing stay. Note that the road to get to the ranch is bad so you need a 4x4. Even though it was remote, it was a great base to visit Rincon de la Vieja. We are very happy with our stay overall."
