Vida Aventura Ranch

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."

Finca Amistad Cacao Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, great food, great chocolate, great staff. A MUST!!!! Great first night in Costa Rica, they really made it memorable. Definitely will be back."
